Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 1201779 and which Caterpillar models use it?
A: The CT 1201779 is a Caterpillar load wheel designed for electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. To determine compatibility with your specific equipment model, verify the OEM part number and equipment serial range in your Caterpillar documentation.
Q: What are the typical dimensions and bore size for this wheel?
A: Standard Caterpillar load wheels typically feature common bore sizes such as 17 mm, 20 mm, or 25 mm with diameters ranging from 3 to 4 inches. Confirm your equipment axle bore size and wheel pocket width before ordering the CT 1201779.
Q: Does the CT 1201779 come with bearings pre-installed?
A: Caterpillar load wheels typically feature either press-fit sealed ball bearings or roller bearings depending on the specific model variant. Confirm the bearing configuration for your equipment to ensure correct installation and compatibility.
Q: What tread material is used on the CT 1201779?
A: Caterpillar load wheels are typically bonded with polyurethane tread for durability and wear resistance. Polyurethane provides consistent grip and resists abrasion on warehouse floors. Confirm the specific compound hardness rating in your equipment documentation.
Q: How often should the CT 1201779 be replaced during equipment life?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on duty cycle, floor conditions, and load weight. Typical replacement intervals are 2 to 4 years in active warehouse service. Worn wheels cause tracking issues and reduce equipment maneuverability; replace when tread depth decreases significantly or lateral play develops.
