Product Description
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 refers to a High Traction polyurethane compound formulated for material handling equipment in wet floors and cold storage environments. The EZ compound is optimized for grip performance on slippery surfaces.
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 dry, 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 is optimized for cold storage and wet applications. Using this tire specifically in these environments will optimize tire life and performance.
Q: How should this tire be stored?
A: Store the CR 121501-026-05 in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and ozone sources. Avoid stacking heavy items on the tire. The soft 82A polyurethane compound benefits from storage in temperature-controlled environments to prevent premature hardening.
