Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes and models is the 971761 compatible with?
A: The 971761 is designed for Caterpillar and Towmotor electric lift trucks. Confirm your specific equipment model and caster location before ordering, as mounting specifications vary by equipment type and model year.
Q: What material is the 971761 made from?
A: The 971761 is constructed from polyurethane, specifically a 95A Shore durometer Durarun formulation engineered for caster wheel duty. This material provides smooth, quiet operation and good abrasion resistance in warehouse environments.
Q: How do I know when to replace the 971761?
A: Replace the 971761 when the caster becomes stiff, noisy, or fails to pivot smoothly. This may indicate wear in the swivel mechanism or polyurethane tread. Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify these signs early.
Q: Are there different variants of the 971761?
A: The 971761 is identified as the standard variant, while 971761-sg is identified as a string guard variant. The string guard provides added protection in environments with cord or rope hazards.
Q: What should I consider when storing the 971761?
A: Store the 971761 in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Keep it away from oils, fuels, and solvents that may compromise wheel integrity. Inspect it periodically for signs of degradation before reinstalling it on equipment.
