Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the complete material specifications for the CL 1806281 steer wheel?
A: The CL 1806281 is a 7-inch diameter steer wheel constructed with a high-impact nylon resin core and an abrasion-resistant polyurethane tread. The polyurethane tread has a Shore D70 durometer rating (70D), providing balanced hardness and wear resistance for manual pallet jack duty.
Q: Which Clark models is the CL 1806281 designed to fit?
A: This wheel is engineered as a direct replacement for Clark manual pallet jacks, specifically the CJ55 model. It provides factory-spec fitment with no special adapters required on compatible equipment.
Q: What does Shore D70 hardness mean for wheel durability?
A: Shore D70 indicates a moderately hard polyurethane compound that resists deformation and abrasion during sustained loading and floor contact. This hardness level balances tread longevity with adequate grip and impact absorption in warehouse handling.
Q: Why is a nylon core preferred over other hub materials for this wheel?
A: High-impact nylon resin cores offer superior shock absorption and durability compared to rigid metal hubs. Nylon cores reduce vibration, absorb impacts from dropped loads, and resist cracking under repetitive stress in manual pallet truck service.
Q: How does the CL 1806281 perform in cold storage or wet floor environments?
A: The polyurethane tread maintains adequate grip and flexibility in cold storage temperatures down to freezer levels. On wet floors, the Shore D70 polyurethane provides moderate traction.
Q: How long does a replacement steer wheel typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on load frequency and floor conditions. In standard warehouse use, polyurethane wheels of this type typically remain functional for 12-24 months of regular duty before noticeable wear develops.
