Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of this 4 x 2.5 caster wheel?
A: This polyurethane caster wheel measures. The 95A durometer rating indicates a moderately hard polyurethane compound suitable for general warehouse and light industrial material handling applications.
Q: What types of equipment can use this caster wheel?
A: The 95A wheel is compatible with manual pallet jacks, hand trucks, carts, and dollies from brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify that your equipment bracket accepts a wheel before ordering.
Q: What does the 95A durometer rating mean?
A: The 95A Shore A durometer indicates the polyurethane compound hardness. This moderate hardness provides good load capacity and rolling resistance without sacrificing traction on standard concrete and smooth floors. It resists cutting and abrasion better than softer compounds.
Q: Is this wheel suitable for wet floors or cold storage?
A: The standard 95A polyurethane compound performs adequately on dry indoor floors. For frequent wet floor or cold storage use, consider requesting wheels with high-traction polyurethane compounds designed specifically for those environments to improve grip and safety.
Q: What causes premature wear on this wheel?
A: Excessive load exceeding the wheel rated capacity, contamination such as oil or hydraulic fluid, misalignment of the caster bracket, and inadequate bearing lubrication are primary causes of early wear. Regularly inspect bearing condition and wheel tread to extend service life.
Q: How do I know if this wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if the tread is worn flat, if you observe chunks missing from the wheel edge, if the wheel wobbles or rocks on the bearing, or if equipment maneuverability has noticeably decreased. A worn wheel reduces traction and increases bearing stress.
