Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the CR 83179-040 wheel?
A: The CR 83179-040 is a 4 inch by 2.5 inch wheel designated as HY-LOAD, which indicates it is engineered for high load or demanding duty applications. The exact bore diameter, material composition, and durometer rating require verification against your specific Crown truck model and load specifications.
Q: What does HY-LOAD mean on the CR 83179-040?
A: HY-LOAD designation indicates this wheel is designed for high-load or heavy-duty service. HY-LOAD wheels typically feature harder polyurethane compounds, reinforced cores, or specialized tread patterns to handle sustained heavy loads, extended duty cycles, or rough floor conditions without premature wear or failure.
Q: Which Crown truck models use the CR 83179-040?
A: The CR 83179-040 is a Crown OEM wheel in the 83179 series. Verify the exact model compatibility by cross-referencing your truck model, year, and serial number with Crown specification sheets. HY-LOAD variants may be specific to certain PE series models or load configurations.
Q: How does the CR 83179-040 compare to other CR 83179 variants?
A: All CR 83179 variants share the 4 inch by 2.5 inch dimensions but differ in bore size, material compound, and durometer rating. The CR 83179-040 HY-LOAD variant is optimized for sustained heavy loads, while other variants (035, 035-SG) may prioritize caster steering or compact assembly design. Use the exact variant specified for your equipment to ensure proper performance and longevity.
