Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT A000000842 wheel assembly and which pallet jacks does it fit?
A: The CT A000000842 is an 8-inch diameter steer wheel assembly designed for manual pallet jacks and hand trucks. It fits CAT Caterpillar HPT series hand pallet trucks. The wheel features an ultra-polyurethane tread bonded to an aluminum core for durability and floor protection.
Q: What are the specifications for the CT A000000842 wheel?
A: Diameter: 8 inches. Tread Material: Ultra-polyurethane compound. Core Material: Aluminum. Application: Manual pallet jacks and hand trucks. The ultra-polyurethane tread is engineered for smooth operation on concrete, tile, and sealed floors. Verify your pallet jack model and wheel mounting diameter before ordering.
Q: Why choose ultra-polyurethane tread for the CT A000000842?
A: Ultra-polyurethane provides superior floor grip, quiet operation, and protection of finished flooring compared to hard rubber or plastic. The material resists wear, abrasion, and degradation from oils and solvents common in warehouses. Aluminum cores minimize wheel weight while maintaining strength.
Q: How long does the CT A000000842 wheel tread typically last?
A: Tread life depends on load, floor type, and frequency of use. Well-maintained wheels on smooth concrete under normal duty typically last 1-3 years before noticeable wear. Excessive loading, rough surfaces, or warehouse congestion accelerates wear. Inspect for flat spots, chunks, or uneven wear quarterly.
Q: What maintenance is required for the CT A000000842 wheel assembly?
A: Keep wheels clean and free of debris that can embed in the tread or cause flat spots. Inspect the axle bearing for play or noise. Verify mounting bolts remain tight. Do not exceed the pallet jack rated capacity, as overload accelerates wheel and bearing wear. Replace wheels when tread wears unevenly or reduces operator control.
