Load Wheel
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a load wheel and what does it do in electric pallet jacks?
A: A load wheel is the large wheel that supports and carries the weight of the pallet and load. In electric pallet jacks, load wheels are positioned under the load carriage and rotate on an axle as the equipment moves. The CR 080915 load wheel provides load-bearing support and must be manufactured to precise durability specifications.
Q: Which Crown electric pallet jack models use the CR 080915 load wheel?
A: The CR 080915 is compatible with specific Crown electric pallet jack model series. Load wheels may also be compatible with other Crown-brand material handling equipment depending on axle diameter and mounting configuration. Verify your equipment model and compare wheel specifications before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What are the dimensions and material composition of the CR 080915?
A: The CR 080915 load wheel has a specified diameter, width, and hub bore diameter defined in Crown parts documentation. Material is typically a durable polyurethane or elastomer compound rated for heavy load-bearing applications. The exact durometer and composition affect wheel performance on different floor types. Verify dimensions match your axle and carriage before ordering.
Q: How long does the CR 080915 load wheel typically last?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on frequency of use, total load weight cycles, floor surface type, maintenance practices, and storage conditions. In typical warehouse operation, a load wheel may last 2 to 5 years before wear makes replacement necessary. Wheels used on rough or outdoor surfaces may wear faster. Regular inspections help identify wear before failure.
Q: What symptoms indicate a load wheel needs replacement?
A: Signs of a worn load wheel include visible flat spots or chunks missing from the wheel surface, increased rolling resistance, uneven or wobbly movement, difficulty steering, or noise during operation. These conditions reduce load capacity, affect equipment stability, and increase wear on other components. Replace worn wheels immediately to restore safe equipment performance.
