CR 101488-1

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of the CR 101488-1 drive tire hub?
A: The CR 101488-1 is a drive tire hub assembly designed for Crown electric lift trucks, specifically electric pallet jacks. It mounts onto the drive axle and provides the mechanical interface for attaching the drive tire. The hub transmits rotational force from the motor assembly to the drive tire, propelling the equipment forward.

Q: What material is the CR 101488-1 hub constructed from?
A: The CR 101488-1 hub is machined from high-strength steel meeting Crown manufacturer specifications for load-bearing industrial equipment. It includes a factory-applied corrosion protective coating to extend service life and prevent rust degradation. This robust construction ensures the hub withstands continuous duty cycles in warehouse, manufacturing, and cold storage environments.

Q: How is the CR 101488-1 hub retained on the drive axle?
A: The CR 101488-1 uses press-on retention, meaning it mounts onto the axle with a precise interference fit. This mechanical connection eliminates fastener-dependent assembly and provides a secure, low-maintenance interface. The press-on design is standard for drive hub applications in electric pallet jacks and similar material-handling equipment.

Q: Is the CR 101488-1 specific to Crown equipment or does it fit other brands?
A: The CR 101488-1 is a Crown OEM component with no identified cross-reference part numbers for other manufacturers. This hub is designed exclusively for Crown electric pallet jack drive systems. Do not assume compatibility with equipment from Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, or other lift truck brands without verification.

Q: What wear or maintenance does the CR 101488-1 hub require?
A: The CR 101488-1 hub is a non-wearing, permanent component under normal operation. It requires no consumable replacement unless physical damage, corrosion, or stress fracture occurs. Inspect the hub during routine maintenance for rust, cracks, or deformation. The factory corrosion coating protects against weathering, but damage to this coating should be monitored in wet or corrosive environments.
