Q: What bearing type does the CR 71426-040 use?
A: The CR 71426-040 is equipped with a sealed ball bearing. Sealed bearings reduce maintenance needs and provide better protection in wet or contaminated environments compared to open bearing designs.

Q: What tread material is on the CR 71426-040?
A: The wheel features a polyurethane tread bonded to a hardened steel core. Polyurethane provides excellent traction, durability, and floor protection while the steel core delivers the structural support needed for heavy loads in material handling environments.

Q: How long will the CR 71426-040 last in heavy-duty applications?
A: Lifespan varies based on load weight, daily usage hours, and floor conditions. Under typical heavy-duty operation, expect 18-36 months of service. Inspect tread depth and bearing condition every 6 months. Replace the wheel when tread wear reaches approximately 1/8 inch or when bearing noise or play becomes evident.
