Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the YL 524210173-OEM differ from the standard YL 524210173?
A: The YL 524210173-OEM is a Yale OEM direct-fit replacement specifically engineered for material handling and stability on Yale forklift and pallet jack chassis. Both use high-strength steel construction with welded toe guard, but the -OEM designation confirms factory-original specification and mounting compatibility.
Q: What is the toe guard construction on the YL 524210173-OEM?
A: The toe guard is welded directly to the caster assembly frame as a single integrated unit. This welded construction ensures structural rigidity and prevents guard separation under load or impact, maintaining stability on Yale lift truck platforms.
Q: Is the YL 524210173-OEM a universal fit or Yale-specific?
A: This assembly is OEM-engineered for Yale electric lift trucks and material handling equipment. Mount compatibility is specific to Yale chassis design. No current cross-reference part numbers are available, meaning this is Yale-proprietary specification.
Q: What bearing system does the YL 524210173-OEM use?
A: The YL 524210173-OEM incorporates a sealed bearing design that protects against dirt and moisture contamination typical in warehouse environments. Sealed bearing construction extends maintenance intervals and provides smooth, consistent performance.
Q: What wheel material comes on the YL 524210173-OEM assembly?
A: This assembly features polyurethane wheel construction, which is standard for Yale OEM material handling assemblies. Polyurethane provides long-term wear resistance, maintains grip on typical warehouse floors, and does not mark polished concrete.
