Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What load wheel assembly is the CT NA020988?
A: The CT NA020988 is a complete polyurethane load wheel assembly from Caterpillar. It includes a 95A durometer polyurethane wheel, precision sealed bearing, axle shaft, and fastening hardware. This is an OEM replacement component designed for load roller service in material handling and pallet jack applications.
Q: What Caterpillar electric pallet jack models use the CT NA020988 load wheel?
A: The CT NA020988 is engineered for Caterpillar NPP 40 series electric pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model matches NPP 40 or NPP40 designation before ordering. This assembly provides load-carrying wheel functionality for the drive and load roller positions.
Q: What does 95A durometer rating mean for this polyurethane wheel?
A: The 95A durometer rating indicates the hardness and load capacity of the polyurethane compound. A 95A wheel is engineered for standard warehouse and material handling applications, providing balanced wear resistance and floor grip. Higher durometer wheels are harder and last longer but may provide less traction.
Q: Does the CT NA020988 include bearings and fasteners?
A: Yes. The CT NA020988 is a complete assembly that includes the polyurethane load wheel, precision sealed bearing for smooth rotation, axle shaft, and all fastening hardware required for integration into the pallet jack. This eliminates the need to source individual components.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the CT NA020988 load wheel assembly?
A: Lifespan depends on usage frequency, floor conditions, and load weight. Polyurethane wheels rated 95A typically provide 3-5 years of service in standard warehouse environments. High-traffic areas, wet floors, or maximum load operation will reduce wheel life. Monitor wheels for flat spots, cracks, or excessive wear and replace when grip diminishes.
