Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Caterpillar pallet jack models use the CT A000001738 steer wheel assembly?
A: The CT A000001738 is a steer wheel assembly designed for Caterpillar manual pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: Why is the CT A000001738 steer wheel made from nylon?
A: Nylon is chosen for steer wheels because it is lightweight, reduces rolling resistance, and operates quietly on warehouse floors. Nylon also resists moisture and most common warehouse chemicals better than rubber compounds.
Q: What surface types does the CT A000001738 nylon steer wheel perform best on?
A: This nylon wheel is designed for smooth to moderately textured warehouse floors including concrete, sealed concrete, epoxy, and tile. Performance may differ on outdoor rough surfaces or uneven asphalt.
Q: How do I know when to replace the CT A000001738 steer wheel assembly?
A: Replace the wheel assembly when you observe flat spots, cracks in the nylon, excessive wear, or when the wheel no longer rolls smoothly. A worn steer wheel affects directional control and handling.
Q: Is the nylon tread on the CT A000001738 replaceable separately?
A: The CT A000001738 is supplied as a complete steer wheel assembly. The nylon tread is bonded to the wheel hub and cannot be replaced separately. Order the full assembly as a unit.
Q: Does the CT A000001738 require lubrication or maintenance?
A: Inspect the wheel bearing and axle connection during regular maintenance. Lubricate the axle connection if the wheel begins to bind or squeak. Nylon treads do not require additional lubrication.
