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 an HL (high load) 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. This wheel is compatible with Crown models that use mold-on caster assemblies with HL load ratings. Verify the existing wheel diameter, width, and bearing type before ordering to ensure fitment compatibility.
Q: What load capacity 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 diameter and the number of wheels on 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 like the CR 087485-40 typically provide 2 to 5 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 diameter 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 us with your operating conditions to confirm suitability.
Q: What is the difference between the CR 087485-40 and other Crown caster wheel SKUs?
A: The CR 087485-40 is 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 compared to press-fit alternatives.
