POLY TIRE, EZ 82A XGROOVE
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the CR 121501-026-05?
A: The EZ designation on the CR 121501-026-05 refers to a High Traction polyurethane compound designed for material handling equipment in general applications as well as wet floors and cold storage environments. EZ does not refer to ease of installation.
Q: What is the 82A hardness specification used for?
A: The 82A Shore hardness is a relatively soft polyurethane compound that maximizes grip on slippery surfaces, including wet floors and refrigerated warehouse areas. This softer compound increases traction but may wear faster than harder alternatives in abrasive conditions.
Q: Which applications is the CR 121501-026-05 best suited for?
A: The CR 121501-026-05 is optimal for cold storage, wet-floor, and damp warehouse environments where standard polyurethane tires lose grip. The High Traction EZ compound maintains performance in temperatures and moisture conditions where harder compounds become slippery.
Q: How does the XGROOVE pattern work with the EZ compound?
A: The XGROOVE tread pattern combined with the 82A EZ High Traction compound creates multiple contact edges for enhanced grip on wet and slippery floors. The grooves channel away water and debris while the soft compound maintains elasticity in cold conditions.
Q: What is the expected lifespan in cold storage and wet environments?
A: Lifespan varies based on floor type, truck load, and operational intensity. The softer 82A compound and wet-floor focus mean this tire may wear faster in dry, abrasive warehouse areas. Use the CR 121501-026-05 specifically in cold storage and wet applications to optimize tire life.
