Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What materials are used in the CT 1201787 construction?
A: The CT 1201787 combines a tear-resistant polyurethane tread compound (Shore hardness 92A) with a cast steel core manufactured to ASTM A36 specifications. The steel core is machined finished to ensure precise hub fit, while the polyurethane tread is applied to create a durable, gripping surface.
Q: What is the maximum load rating and suitable load center for the CT 1201787?
A: The CT 1201787 is rated for a maximum capacity of 6000 lbs at a 24 inch load center. This rating assumes proper equipment operation and standard warehouse-type loading. Do not exceed this capacity, as overloading causes premature tread wear, core stress, and potential hub damage.
Q: What is the coefficient of traction for this tire?
A: The CT 1201787 achieves a maximum traction coefficient rating of 0.80. This traction level is suitable for smooth concrete warehouse floors under controlled indoor conditions. Wet, oily, or contaminated floor surfaces can reduce actual traction below this rating.
Q: What mounting interface does the CT 1201787 use?
A: The CT 1201787 is designed for standard cushion tire mounting interfaces on Caterpillar electric lift truck drive hubs. Verify that your equipment has a compatible hub diameter and mounting groove before ordering.
Q: What operating environments are suitable for the CT 1201787?
A: The CT 1201787 is designed for indoor smooth concrete and warehouse floor applications. The 92A Shore polyurethane compound can degrade if exposed to outdoor conditions, temperature extremes, oils, or solvents. Use this tire only in controlled indoor environments for maximum lifespan.
Q: Are cross-reference part numbers available for the CT 1201787?
A: No cross-reference part numbers are published for the CT 1201787. Use the exact OEM part number CT 1201787 when ordering. Verify dimensions and hub specifications match your Caterpillar electric lift truck before placing an order.
