Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and material specifications of the 44495-1 load wheel?
A: The 44495-1 is a polyurethane load wheel with a cast iron core with 95 Shore A durometer polyurethane tread, providing excellent wear resistance and load capacity for manual pallet jack applications.
Q: Which pallet jack models is the 44495-1 compatible with?
A: The 44495-1 is a direct replacement for Crown PTH and PTH-50 series manual pallet jacks. It cross-references with Crown part numbers 44495, 44496, 44497, 44498, and Service Caster CR 44495-001-HD and CR 44495-001-ST variants.
Q: What bearing type does the 44495-1 include?
A: The 44495-1 features sealed precision ball bearings that protect against contamination and reduce friction. The sealed design minimizes maintenance and extends bearing life in warehouse and production environments.
Q: How durable is the 95A hardness polyurethane tread?
A: The 95 Shore A durometer polyurethane tread balances hardness with load capacity and wear life. This compound resists abrasion on concrete and asphalt surfaces and maintains traction across temperature ranges. Typical service life is 3 to 5 years under normal warehouse duty cycles.
Q: What is the best way to store the 44495-1 when not in use?
A: Store the 44495-1 in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it protected from moisture and chemical spills. Store with the load wheel positioned upright to prevent deformation of the tread.
Q: What cross-reference part numbers are compatible with the 44495-1?
A: Direct cross-references include Crown 44495, 44496, 44497, 44498, and Service Caster CR 44495-001-HD and CR 44495-001-ST. Verify bore size and width before substituting to ensure proper fit and axle clearance.
