Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Clark polyurethane wheel CL 1819046 designed for?
A: The CL 1819046 is a polyurethane load wheel for Clark electric lift trucks. This wheel is part of the truck load-carrying assembly and requires exact dimension and bore matching to the truck assembly.
Q: How does the CL 1819046 compare to other Clark wheels in terms of fitment?
A: The CL 1819046 poly wheel is application-specific and will not fit all Clark models. Confirm your truck model, wheel position (load or steer), and current wheel part number before ordering. Incorrect wheel selection can cause handling problems or overload conditions.
Q: What makes polyurethane a suitable material for Clark lift truck wheels?
A: Polyurethane wheels provide a balance of load-carrying capacity, floor protection, and reasonable traction. This material resists oil and moisture better than natural rubber, making it suitable for warehouse and industrial environments where spills are common.
Q: When should the CL 1819046 wheel be replaced?
A: Replace this wheel when flat spotting develops, when cracks appear in the polyurethane, when tread depth reduces significantly, or when bearing wear causes excessive play. Regular inspection during maintenance intervals will identify replacement needs early.
Q: What environmental conditions affect polyurethane wheel durability?
A: Polyurethane wheels degrade faster in extreme cold, direct sunlight, or environments with exposure to solvents and strong chemicals. Wheels in cold storage or outdoor areas may require replacement more frequently than those used indoors at room temperature.
