310172

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the 310172 load wheel?
A: The 310172 is a 6-inch diameter polyurethane wheel with a 2.44-inch bore and 3.63-inch tread width. The 97A durometer hardness rating provides durability for electric lift truck load wheel applications while maintaining a non-marking compound suitable for finished flooring.

Q: Is the 310172 compatible with electric pallet jacks and lift trucks?
A: The 310172 is engineered for electric lift truck load wheel positions. It fits multiple OEM manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and Yale. Confirm your equipment bore diameter and wheel position specifications before ordering, as fitment varies by model year and truck type.

Q: What durometer rating does the 310172 have and what does it mean?
A: The 310172 carries a 97A Shore A durometer rating, indicating a relatively hard polyurethane compound formulated for load-bearing applications in material handling. This hardness level resists wear and deformation under heavy static and dynamic loads while providing smooth rolling characteristics.

Q: Can the 310172 be used in cold storage environments?
A: The 310172 standard polyurethane compound may experience reduced flexibility in extreme cold storage below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. For cold storage or wet floor applications, consider requesting alternative tread compounds specifically formulated for those environments.

Q: What maintenance is needed for the 310172 wheel?
A: Inspect the 310172 periodically for tread wear, flat spots, or visible damage. Check bearing noise during operation, as increased grinding or noise may indicate bearing wear. Clean the wheel bore area to prevent debris accumulation. Do not exceed the rated load capacity for your lift truck model.
