Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the CR 79494 drive tire?
A: The CR 79494 is a press-on polyurethane drive tire with dimensions of 13 x 4.5 x 8 inches. It features a tapered sidewall profile and is available in two hardness options: 85-87A Shore or 95A Shore, depending on the specific compound. The polyurethane construction provides durability for high-load and extended-run applications.
Q: Which Crown electric lift truck models fit the CR 79494 tire?
A: The CR 79494 is compatible with Crown electric pallet jack model PE3000. It is the OEM drive tire for this model line. Confirm your lift truck model and serial range match before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between 85-87A and 95A Shore hardness for the CR 79494?
A: Shore hardness indicates the tire compound stiffness. The 85-87A option provides a softer, more cushioned ride suitable for standard duty and longer runs. The 95A option is a harder compound better for high-load applications and demanding floor conditions. Select based on your application requirements.
Q: What part numbers cross-reference to the CR 79494?
A: The CR 79494 has the OEM part number 079494-341-05. Cross-reference part numbers include CR 79494, CR079494-253-01-MIL, CR79494-1, CR79494-001, 79494-1, and 79494-001. Note that CR 79494-EZ is a different compound (high-traction polyurethane) and is not interchangeable in all applications.
Q: When should I replace the CR 79494 drive tire?
A: Replace the CR 79494 when you notice uneven wear, cracks, chunks missing from the tread, reduced grip on the floor, or loss of pressure if pneumatic. Worn drive tires reduce lifting performance and can affect steering control. Polyurethane tires typically last 2-4 years depending on duty cycle and floor conditions.
Q: Does the CR 79494 work on wet or cold storage floors?
A: The standard CR 79494 polyurethane compound is suitable for general warehouse applications and standard floor conditions. For wet floors or cold storage environments, the CR 79494-EZ high-traction polyurethane compound is a better choice. The EZ designation indicates enhanced grip for challenging floor conditions.
