CYLINDER WHEEL
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of a cylinder wheel on material handling equipment?
A: A cylinder wheel is a specialized wheel component used on lift truck masts and vertical guide systems. It rides in a track or slot to guide smooth vertical movement and prevent lateral drift during raising and lowering operations.
Q: Which Clark lift truck models use the CL 2788672 cylinder wheel?
A: The CL 2788672 is compatible with specific Clark electric and manual lift truck models equipped with cylinder wheel guide systems. Verify your equipment model and mast type to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the material composition of the CL 2788672?
A: The CL 2788672 is a polyurethane or polymer-based wheel designed to minimize friction and wear on mast guide rails. This material resists hardening and maintains smooth contact with the mast track over extended use.
Q: How long does the CL 2788672 cylinder wheel typically last?
A: Under normal warehouse operation with regular mast cycling, expect 18 to 36 months before cylinder wheel replacement is needed. Excessive mast extension, high-frequency lifts, and contaminated guide rails accelerate wear.
Q: What symptoms indicate the CL 2788672 cylinder wheel needs replacement?
A: Signs of cylinder wheel wear include lateral movement or wobbling of the mast during lift, grinding noise when raising the load, or visible flat spots and cracks on the wheel surface. These conditions affect mast stability and should prompt immediate replacement.
