Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the CT 1026902 polyurethane wheel?
A: The CT 1026902 wheel measures 3 1/4 inches by 5 7/8 inches. This size is typically used as a load wheel or drive wheel on Caterpillar electric lift trucks and compatible material handling equipment.
Q: Is the CT 1026902 compatible with wet floor or cold storage environments?
A: The CT 1026902 features polyurethane construction. If your environment includes wet floors or cold storage, verify the wheel hardness and traction compound specification to ensure adequate grip and durability for those conditions.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the CT 1026902 wheel?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on load weight, floor conditions, and operating hours. The CT 1026902 typically lasts 1,500 to 3,000 operating hours before significant wear requires replacement. Inspect wheels quarterly for wear, flat spots, and chunking.
Q: How do I know if the CT 1026902 wheel needs to be replaced?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe flat spots, uneven wear, visible chunks missing from the tread, a load height variance affecting load balance, or excessive floor noise during operation. These symptoms indicate reduced load capacity and control.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the CT 1026902 wheel?
A: The CT 1026902 is a Caterpillar OEM part. Equivalent polyurethane wheels from other manufacturers may fit if dimensions match exactly. Verify bore size, wheel width, and mounting configuration before substituting alternatives.
