Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What vehicles does the 708397 polyurethane tire and hub assembly fit?
A: The 708397 poly tire and hub assembly is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar manufacturers. Verify your equipment model, wheel diameter, and hub bore size before ordering.
Q: What are the load capacity and tire dimensions for the 708397?
A: Specifications vary by application. The 708397 is a polyurethane tire assembly with integrated hub. Confirm the wheel diameter, width, and hub bore before purchase. Load capacity depends on the complete wheel assembly configuration.
Q: Why use a polyurethane tire instead of rubber on this assembly?
A: Polyurethane tires offer superior durability, resistance to oils and solvents, and better grip on smooth warehouse floors compared to rubber. Polyurethane resists flat-spotting and provides longer tire life under heavy loads.
Q: Can the 708397 be used in cold storage environments?
A: Yes. Polyurethane maintains flexibility and grip in cold storage. However, verify that the hub and bearings are rated for cold storage operation. At temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, polyurethane can become harder and may affect handling.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the 708397 poly tire and hub?
A: With proper maintenance and operation within load ratings, polyurethane tires typically last 2000 to 4000 operating hours before needing replacement. Lifespan depends on floor type, load weight, and equipment usage intensity.
