A000050147

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the A000050147 drive tire assembly?
A: The A000050147 is a mold-on polyurethane drive tire with Shore A 87 hardness. It features X-Groove tread, a steel wheel core with bonded polyurethane tread, and is designed specifically for electric lift truck applications requiring reliable traction.

Q: Why does the A000050147 use Shore A 87 durometer hardness?
A: Shore A 87 hardness provides a balance between durability and grip. This medium-hardness compound resists abrasion during heavy use while maintaining adequate traction on warehouse floors. Harder compounds last longer but provide less grip; softer compounds grip better but wear faster.

Q: Which lift truck brands are compatible with the A000050147 drive tire assembly?
A: The A000050147 fits multiple OEM electric lift truck platforms including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify wheel diameter and core bore size match your equipment before ordering.

Q: How does the X-Groove tread pattern benefit the A000050147?
A: The X-Groove tread pattern improves traction and water evacuation on wet or slippery floors. It also reduces marking and scuffing on finished surfaces, making the A000050147 suitable for both warehouse and production floor environments.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of the A000050147 drive tire assembly?
A: Lifespan depends on operating hours and floor conditions. In typical warehouse use, the A000050147 remains serviceable for 1 to 3 years. Replace when tread depth decreases noticeably, traction diminishes, or visible damage occurs.

Q: Can the A000050147 be used on outdoor surfaces?
A: The A000050147 polyurethane construction tolerates outdoor use but performs best on smooth surfaces. Rough outdoor terrain accelerates wear. If your lift truck operates primarily outdoors, verify that outdoor use is acceptable for your specific equipment model.
