Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material composition of the CR 087485-40 caster wheel?
A: The CR 087485-40 is a mold-on caster wheel with a high-load (HL) rating. The wheel features a durable polyurethane or elastomer compound molded directly onto a steel core, designed for heavy-duty material handling equipment. The mold-on construction provides superior wear resistance compared to press-fit wheels.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is the CR 087485-40 compatible with?
A: The CR 087485-40 is designed for Crown brand electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. This wheel is compatible with Crown models that use mold-on caster assemblies with HL load ratings. Verify the existing wheel and bearing type before ordering to ensure fitment compatibility. Contact Crown Equipment or check your equipment documentation for specific compatible models.
Q: What does the HL rating indicate for this caster wheel?
A: HL indicates a high-load rating designed for heavy-duty electric lift truck applications. The specific load capacity depends on the wheel and the number of wheels supporting your equipment. Check your lift truck specifications or cross-reference the existing wheel part number to confirm the exact load rating.
Q: How long does the CR 087485-40 typically last in service?
A: Service life depends on operating conditions, floor surface, load weight, and maintenance practices. Mold-on wheels typically provide years of service in standard warehouse environments. Wet floors, cold storage, or heavy daily use may reduce lifespan. Replace when the wheel develops visible flat spots, cracks, or when wear reaches specification limits.
Q: Is the CR 087485-40 suitable for wet floor or cold storage environments?
A: The CR 087485-40 is rated for general-purpose material handling on standard floors. For wet floor or cold storage applications, verify that the elastomer compound meets your facility requirements. Some mold-on wheels use specialized high-traction compounds for enhanced grip on wet or frozen surfaces. Contact Crown or your distributor with your operating conditions to confirm suitability.
Q: How does the mold-on design compare to other Crown caster wheels?
A: The CR 087485-40 features mold-on construction with an HL (high-load) specification. Other Crown caster wheels may use press-fit construction, standard-load ratings, or different material compounds. Cross-reference your existing wheel part number or equipment documentation to confirm this part matches your fleet. The mold-on design provides superior durability and wear resistance compared to press-fit alternatives.
