CL 2781686

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does smooth flat tread on the CL 2781686 drive tire mean?
A: The CL 2781686 has a smooth flat tread design with no grooves or patterns. Smooth flat treads maximize floor contact area for traction on clean, level warehouse floors and provide a quiet, smooth ride. This tread pattern works best indoors on concrete or asphalt, not on outdoor or sloped surfaces.

Q: What is the material composition of the CL 2781686 polyurethane drive tire?
A: The CL 2781686 is manufactured from polyurethane compound molded onto a steel core. Polyurethane drive tires deliver superior durability, consistent performance across temperature ranges from cold storage to ambient warehouses, resistance to oils and solvents, and reduced vibration compared to rubber alternatives.

Q: Which Clark electric lift truck models use the CL 2781686 drive tire?
A: The CL 2781686 is compatible with select Clark electric lift trucks equipped with this drive tire specification. Confirm your Clark model, serial range, tire diameter, width, and hub bore before ordering. Drive tire dimensions are critical for safe operation and proper load handling.

Q: What warehouse floor conditions is the CL 2781686 smooth tire designed for?
A: The CL 2781686 smooth flat polyurethane tire performs best on clean, dry concrete or sealed asphalt warehouse floors. Smooth treads provide adequate grip in normal indoor conditions. On wet, oil-contaminated, or outdoor surfaces, smooth tires offer reduced traction. For cold storage, polyurethane maintains flexibility that rubber loses in freezing temperatures.

Q: What is the typical wear life of the CL 2781686 polyurethane drive tire?
A: Service life depends on duty cycle, load patterns, and floor conditions. Polyurethane drive tires typically provide 1500 to 3000 operating hours before replacement. Replace when tread visibly thins, the tire fails to maintain grip, or bearing wear becomes apparent. Smooth treads wear evenly across the surface under normal warehouse operation.
