Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the 60181A polyurethane load wheel?
A: The 60181A is a load wheel featuring 95 Shore A hardness high-performance polyurethane tread with red color. It includes sealed precision ball bearings, a machined steel hub, and is rated for pallet jacks.
Q: Which manual pallet jacks are compatible with the 60181A?
A: This wheel assembly fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Clark, and Mitsubishi. Verify your equipment model and wheel bore size before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: Why is the 60181A marked as non-marking?
A: The polyurethane tread does not stain or discolor floors common in food processing, pharmaceutical, and retail environments. Non-marking wheels prevent transfer marks on sensitive floor surfaces.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the 60181A wheel?
A: Under typical warehouse use, polyurethane load wheels last before tread wear requires replacement. Lifespan varies with load frequency, floor type, and storage conditions. Replace when tread is visibly flattened or wheels slip under load.
Q: Does the 60181A reduce rolling resistance compared to other load wheels?
A: Yes. The high-performance 95A Shore A polyurethane compound provides lower rolling resistance than standard rubber, reducing operator effort and improving pallet jack handling responsiveness.
Q: How should the 60181A be stored when not in use?
A: Store wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Avoid stacking heavy items on wheels, and protect from oil, grease, and chemical spills that can degrade polyurethane. Proper storage extends wheel lifespan and maintains bearing performance.
