Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment models does the 5800231-64 caster assembly fit?
A: The 5800231-64 spring-loaded caster assembly is compatible with MPW050EC802, MPB040EB827, MPB045EB827, and MPW045EB802 electric lift trucks. Verify the part number on your equipment before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: What are the wheel specifications for the 5800231-64?
A: This caster features a 3.25-inch diameter polyurethane wheel with industrial-grade tread compound. The assembled height is 5.50 inches from the base to the top of the wheel. The mounting plate is steel with a three-hole threaded configuration.
Q: What is the difference between offset swivel and fixed casters?
A: The 5800231-64 uses an offset swivel design, meaning the wheel pivots to allow directional changes. This provides better maneuverability compared to fixed casters, which do not swivel. Offset swivel casters are standard on most industrial lift trucks.
Q: How long does a polyurethane caster wheel typically last?
A: Polyurethane wheels typically last 1 to 3 years depending on floor type, load capacity, and usage intensity. Rough concrete surfaces accelerate wear. Check wheels monthly for flat spots, cracks, or uneven wear patterns. Replace when tread depth reduces or steering becomes difficult.
Q: What mounting hardware is required for the 5800231-64?
A: The three-hole threaded mounting plate accepts standard fasteners that match your equipment frame. No cross-reference part numbers are available for this OEM assembly. Verify hole spacing and thread size on your existing caster mount before ordering.
Q: What is the material composition of the mounting plate?
A: The mounting plate is constructed from steel for durability and strength under load. Steel provides excellent wear resistance on material handling equipment. The plate will not flex under normal operating conditions on electric lift trucks rated for the specified models.
