Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 088628-020 load wheel used for?
A: The 088628-020 is a load wheel component for Crown electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Load wheels support the load and travel across warehouse and manufacturing floors. This part is part of the rolling assembly that enables smooth equipment movement.
Q: What is the difference between 088628-020 and 088628-020-A?
A: The 088628-020 is the load wheel alone, while 088628-020-A is the complete load wheel assembly including mounting hardware and bearings. Use the full assembly number 088628-020-A if you need a ready-to-install option.
Q: What floor conditions will damage the 088628-020 load wheel?
A: Load wheels are damaged by sharp objects, debris, excessive moisture, oil residue, and extreme temperature swings. Regular sweeping and maintenance of warehouse floors extends load wheel life. Cold storage environments and wet food processing areas accelerate wear if standard polyurethane wheels are used.
Q: How often should 088628-020 load wheels be replaced?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on floor conditions, equipment usage intensity, and load weight. Most load wheels require replacement every 12 to 24 months in high-use environments. Inspect quarterly and replace when wear reaches 50 percent.
Q: Can the 088628-020 be used on wet or cold storage floors?
A: Standard load wheels reduce traction on wet and cold storage floors. For these environments, consider high-traction polyurethane load wheels designed for reduced slip and better floor grip. Contact us for high-traction alternatives if your equipment operates in these conditions.
Q: How should the 088628-020 load wheel be stored and maintained?
A: Store load wheels indoors in clean, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Avoid stacking wheels under excessive weight. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water keeps wheels performing at peak efficiency. Inspect for cracks, flat spots, or polyurethane degradation every 3 months.
