Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the SG suffix mean on the CR 83179-035-SG part number?
A: The SG suffix indicates string guards, which are integrated protective guards designed to prevent string, film wrap, or strapping material from winding around the caster wheel during operation. This is standard equipment on Crown PE 4000 series trucks used in warehouses with packaging materials.
Q: What are the wheel dimensions on the CR 83179-035-SG?
A: The CR 83179-035-SG has a wheel. Sealed bearings.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the CR 83179-035-SG?
A: The CR 83179-035-SG replaces Crown part numbers CR083179-035, CR083179035, 83179-035, and 083179035. It also appears in alternate formats as CR83179035SG and 83179035SG. Verify the SG designation is needed for your truck before ordering, as non-SG versions are also available.
Q: What type of bearing does the CR 83179-035-SG use and is it sealed?
A: The CR 83179-035-SG includes sealed bearings integrated into the shoulder assembly. Sealed bearings reduce maintenance by preventing contamination from spilled liquids, oil, or dirt common in cold storage and warehouse environments. Sealed bearings cannot be relubricated and require full assembly replacement when worn.
Q: Can I replace the CR 83179-035-SG with a standard CR 83179-035 without string guards?
A: Only if your truck mounting bracket is designed to accept both versions. The SG variant includes integrated string guard brackets that may not align with non-SG mounting holes. If your truck originally came with SG string guards, use the CR 83179-035-SG replacement. If it did not, the standard CR 83179-035 may fit, but verify mounting dimensions first.
Q: What maintenance is recommended for the CR 83179-035-SG caster wheel?
A: Because the CR 83179-035-SG features sealed bearings, no lubrication is required. Inspect the wheel periodically for polyurethane wear or flat-spotting, particularly if the equipment is stored outdoors or exposed to temperature extremes. Replace when tread depth becomes noticeably worn or uneven wear patterns develop.
Q: How should I store the CR 83179-035-SG when not in use?
A: Store the caster wheel assembly in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Avoid stacking heavy items on the wheel, as this can cause polyurethane tread deformation. Ideal storage temperature is 60-85°F with 40-60% relative humidity.
