Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the BR 28700-101 poly drive tire made from?
A: The BR 28700-101 is a polyurethane drive tire. Polyurethane offers superior durability, load-carrying capacity, and wear resistance compared to rubber alternatives.
Q: Which electric lift trucks is the BR 28700-101 compatible with?
A: This polyurethane tire fits electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and other major OEM manufacturers using this bore and width. Confirm your equipment model and specifications before ordering.
Q: How long does the BR 28700-101 polyurethane tire typically last?
A: Polyurethane tires generally outlast rubber alternatives, especially in heavy-duty operations. Actual lifespan varies by usage, floor conditions, and load weight. Replace when tread wears down, chunks are missing, or the tire shows cracks or separation.
Q: Is the BR 28700-101 suitable for wet floor or cold storage applications?
A: Yes, polyurethane tires perform well in wet and cold environments. For maximum traction on wet floors, consider the X GROOVE variant, BR 28700-101-XGROOVE, which adds cross-groove tread for enhanced drainage and grip.
Q: What is the cost benefit of polyurethane versus rubber drive tires?
A: Polyurethane tires have higher initial cost but longer service life and better load capacity, which can reduce replacement frequency and downtime. Evaluate your operation intensity to determine the total cost of ownership.
