Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key dimensions of the CR 079494-243-03?
A: This press-on drive tire measures 13 inches in outer diameter, 4.5 inches in width, and 8 inches in inner diameter (bore). These dimensions are designed for direct compatibility with Crown pallet movers and reach trucks in the 200 Series.
Q: What makes the compound 243 formulation suitable for harsh environments?
A: The compound 243 polyurethane formulation with Shore A 83A hardness provides a balance between tread durability and traction. This hardness rating is optimized for high-wear applications including dock boards, wet floors, and freezer conditions where grip and longevity are critical.
Q: What is the benefit of the thick sipe tread pattern?
A: Sipes are small cuts in the tread that increase flexibility and improve grip on slippery surfaces. The thick sipe design on this tire enhances performance in wet and freezer environments, reducing slip risk while maintaining durability on rough warehouse floors.
Q: Which Crown equipment models is the 079494-243-03 compatible with?
A: The 079494-243-03 is designed as a drive tire for Crown pallet movers and reach trucks, including PE Series and GPW Series models. Verify your specific equipment model and tire mounting configuration before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: How does Shore A 83A hardness compare to other polyurethane tires?
A: Shore A 83A indicates a moderately firm polyurethane compound. This hardness level is ideal for industrial pallet handling equipment, providing excellent wear resistance while maintaining adequate flexibility for shock absorption and traction on varied floor surfaces.
Q: Can this tire be used in freezer applications?
A: Yes, the compound 243 formulation is specifically engineered for cold storage environments. The thick sipe tread and polyurethane material maintain grip and performance even in freezer conditions, making this tire suitable for low-temperature warehouse operations.
Q: What is a press-on drive tire and how does it differ from other tire types?
A: A press-on drive tire is mounted directly onto the wheel by pressing or shrinking it onto the wheel hub rather than using air inflation. This design provides superior durability and puncture resistance in industrial settings, making it ideal for continuous dock and warehouse operations.
