Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for SKU 972005?
A: SKU 972005 is a polyurethane load wheel with the following specifications: 3 inch diameter, 3.66 inch hub length, 20 mm (0.79 inch) bore, red 95A durometer polyurethane tread, steel core construction, and precision sealed ball bearings. Verify these dimensions match your pallet jack wheel mounting before ordering.
Q: Which manual pallet jacks does the 972005 wheel fit?
A: The 972005 wheel fits most standard manual pallet jacks from manufacturers including Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. The wheel does not fit Crown pallet jack models. Confirm your pallet jack model and existing wheel dimensions before purchasing.
Q: What makes the 972005 polyurethane durable?
A: The 972005 features a red 95A durometer polyurethane tread with a steel core, providing structural strength and wear resistance. The 95A durometer rating indicates a harder polyurethane compound suitable for sustained load bearing in manual pallet truck applications. Precision sealed ball bearings ensure smooth rotation and longevity.
Q: What bearing type does the 972005 wheel have?
A: The 972005 wheel features precision sealed ball bearings that are designed to handle the repeated load cycles of manual pallet truck operation. Sealed bearings help protect against dirt and debris contamination, extending wheel lifespan and maintaining smooth rotation under load.
Q: How long will the 972005 wheel last in typical use?
A: The lifespan of the 972005 wheel depends on load capacity, frequency of use, and floor surface conditions. The combination of sealed bearings and durable 95A polyurethane construction supports extended service life. Inspect regularly for tread wear or damage. Replace when visible wear becomes excessive or bearing rotation is restricted.
Q: What maintenance does the 972005 wheel require?
A: Inspect the wheel regularly for debris buildup, cracks, or flat spots on the polyurethane tread. Clean the wheel surface to prevent material accumulation. Verify smooth rotation and that sealed bearings are functioning properly. If cracks appear, rotation becomes restricted, or tread wear is severe, replacement is recommended.
