Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 087485-040 caster wheel used for?
A: The CR 087485-040 is a mold-on caster wheel with High Load (HL) rating designed for electric pallet jacks, lift trucks, and material handling equipment. It provides smooth rolling and floor protection on warehouse, manufacturing, and cold storage environments.
Q: How does the CR 087485-040 compare to other wheels in the same series?
A: The CR 087485-040 and CR 087485-035 share the same High Load designation but may differ in diameter or axle bore specifications. Check the exact dimensions of both SKUs to confirm which fits your equipment. Cross-reference with other SKUs in the CR 087485 family for all available options.
Q: Can the CR 087485-040 handle wet or cold storage environments?
A: Mold-on polyurethane wheels like the CR 087485-040 perform well on wet floors and in cold storage because polyurethane maintains grip and flexibility in low temperatures. Verify that the specific tread compound is rated for your temperature and floor conditions.
Q: How do you know when to replace the CR 087485-040?
A: Replace the wheel when the polyurethane tread shows significant wear, flat spots develop, or you notice reduced rolling smoothness. High Load wheels generally last longer than standard wheels in heavy-duty use, but replacement timing depends on load and frequency of use.
Q: What maintenance prevents premature failure of the CR 087485-040?
A: Keep the tread clean of debris. Inspect the wheel and axle assembly regularly for damage or binding. Ensure the wheel hub and bearings are properly maintained according to your equipment manufacturer specifications. Avoid dragging or forcing the equipment on obstacles.
Q: Is the CR 087485-040 a direct replacement for other Crown or Toyota wheels?
A: The CR 087485-040 fits Crown, Toyota, and compatible brand lift trucks that use this specific wheel diameter and axle bore. Confirm exact dimensions and mounting before ordering. Do not assume compatibility across different equipment models without verification.
