Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of equipment does the CT 971763 load wheel fit?

Q: What is the purpose of a load wheel in electric lift truck design?
A: Load wheels support the weight of the truck and load during operation. Unlike caster wheels, load wheels are typically fixed to the frame and carry the majority of the static and dynamic weight during lifting and travel.
Q: When should the CT 971763 load wheel be replaced?
A: Replace the CT 971763 if you observe flat spots, cracking in the wheel tread, bearing noise, wobbling, or reduced traction. Worn wheels reduce load stability and increase strain on lift truck components, affecting safety and performance.
