Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the CR 14308 hub and drive tire in a lift truck?
A: The CR 14308 hub and drive tire assembly transfers power from the motor to the wheels, providing traction and propulsion for the lift truck. The hub mounts to the motor shaft, and the tire provides ground grip.
Q: What tire material and compound does the CR 14308 use?
A: The CR 14308 is equipped with a polyurethane drive tire. Polyurethane provides excellent durability, chemical resistance, and traction on dry and wet warehouse floors.
Q: Which Crown lift truck models accept the CR 14308 hub and drive tire?
A: The CR 14308 is designed for Crown electric pallet jacks and walkie stackers. Confirm your equipment model and axle specifications before ordering, as hub bore size and tire diameter vary across models.
Q: How long does a CR 14308 drive tire typically last before replacement?
A: Drive tire lifespan depends on floor conditions, load, and usage intensity. Polyurethane tires are more durable than rubber but will eventually wear flat or show reduced grip. Inspect for uneven wear, flat spots, or hardening. Replace when traction noticeably decreases.
Q: Can the CR 14308 tire be removed and replaced separately from the hub?
A: This is a hub and tire assembly. The tire is bonded to the hub and cannot be separated for replacement. If the tire is worn or damaged, replace the entire CR 14308 unit.
Q: What symptoms indicate the CR 14308 drive tire needs replacement?
A: Signs include visible flatness or wear patterns, hardened or cracked tire surface, squealing during acceleration, or slipping under load. Any of these conditions reduces truck performance and should trigger replacement.
