Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a mold-on caster wheel like the 115027-040?
A: The 115027-040 is a Crown direct replacement mold-on caster wheel. Mold-on construction means the polyurethane tread is bonded directly to a metal wheel core during manufacturing, creating a single solid assembly.

A: HL is a Crown designation for a specific wheel configuration or load rating class. Confirm your equipment requires the HL variant before purchasing.
Q: How is mold-on construction different from other wheel types?
A: Mold-on wheels have polyurethane bonded permanently to the core wheel. This creates a single unified structure without separate tread components or internal seals, making mold-on wheels simpler and durable compared to pneumatic or assembled wheels.
Q: Can the 115027-040 be repaired or retreaded?
