Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 1177410 caster wheel assembly?
A: The CT 1177410 is a swivel caster wheel assembly designed for Caterpillar electric lift trucks. It provides omnidirectional movement and improved maneuverability in tight warehouse spaces and loading areas.
Q: Which Caterpillar lift truck models use the CT 1177410 swivel caster?
A: The CT 1177410 is compatible with multiple Caterpillar electric pallet jack and lift truck models. Verify your equipment serial number and model designation to confirm fit before ordering.
Q: How does a swivel caster wheel differ from a fixed wheel?
A: A swivel caster rotates 360 degrees independently, allowing the equipment to move freely in any direction and turn tightly. Fixed wheels are locked in one direction. Swivel casters reduce steering effort and improve operator control on material handling equipment.

A: Swivel caster assemblies typically include a polyurethane or elastomer wheel, metal kingpin and bracket assembly, and sealed bearing systems. These materials provide durability in industrial environments and reduce maintenance requirements.
Q: When should the CT 1177410 swivel caster be replaced?
A: Replace the swivel caster when you notice excessive wobbling, binding, flat spots on the wheel, or difficulty steering. Lifespan depends on load capacity utilization and floor conditions but typically ranges from 1 to 3 years of heavy daily use.
