Load wheel axle, cold storage
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 351096-153 load wheel axle designed for?
A: The CR 351096-153 is a load wheel axle specifically designed for cold storage environments. It is engineered to maintain performance in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, supporting pallet jacks used in freezer and frozen food distribution applications.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use the CR 351096-153?
A: The CR 351096-153 is compatible with Crown material handling equipment and similar electric pallet jack models rated for cold storage duty. Confirm your equipment model and manufacturing year to verify compatibility.
Q: What material is the CR 351096-153 axle made from?
A: Cold storage axles typically use hardened steel or specialized alloy steel that resists embrittlement and maintains structural integrity at low temperatures. This prevents cracking and premature wear that can occur with standard steel in freezing conditions.
Q: How long does the CR 351096-153 last in cold storage use?
A: Expected service life is 3-5 years under continuous cold storage use, depending on load capacity and frequency. Cold temperatures actually slow corrosion but can increase bearing stress, so periodic inspection of load wheel condition is recommended.
Q: Can the CR 351096-153 be used in regular ambient temperature environments?
A: Yes, the CR 351096-153 can be used in regular temperatures, but it is optimized for cold storage. Using a standard axle in cold storage is not recommended, as standard materials become brittle and fail prematurely below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
