Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the CR 79494-EZ tire?
A: The EZ suffix on the CR 79494-EZ indicates a high-traction polyurethane compound specifically designed for challenging floor conditions, including wet floors and cold storage environments. EZ does not refer to ease of installation but rather the enhanced grip properties of the tire compound.
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the CR 79494-EZ?
A: The CR 79494-EZ has an outer diameter of 13.5 inches, tread width of 4.5 inches, and hub ID of 8 inches. The tire is manufactured from premium red polyurethane compound with Shore A hardness rated 80-82 for a softer ride. It features a tapered sidewall profile for standard load wheel applications.
Q: Which Crown lift truck models are compatible with the CR 79494-EZ?
A: The CR 79494-EZ is compatible with Crown electric lift truck PE4500 series pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model and serial number before ordering to ensure fitment.
Q: How does the CR 79494-EZ differ from the standard CR 79494?
A: The CR 79494-EZ features a high-traction compound designed for wet and cold storage floors, while the standard CR 79494 is a general-purpose polyurethane tire. The EZ also has a slightly larger outer diameter (13.5 inches vs 13 inches on some CR 79494 variants) and softer Shore hardness (80-82A vs 85-87A or 95A options). These are not fully interchangeable; use the EZ version only where wet-floor traction is required.
Q: What cross-reference part numbers match the CR 79494-EZ?
A: The CR 79494-EZ has the OEM part number 79494EZ. Cross-reference and equivalent part numbers include CR79494-EZ, CR79494EZ, 79494EZ, and it supersedes the older CR 79494 in high-traction applications. Other equivalent references are CR 79494, CR79494-001, CR79494-1, 79494-001, 79494-1, and 79494-25-4.
Q: How long does the high-traction EZ compound last?
A: The CR 79494-EZ polyurethane compound typically lasts 2-4 years depending on usage, duty cycle, and floor conditions. High-traction compounds may wear slightly faster than standard polyurethane due to the sticky formulation. Replace when tread wear becomes uneven, when grip diminishes on wet floors, or when visible cracks appear.
