Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material composition and hardness of the CT 1201776 idler caster?
A: The CT 1201776 features a polyurethane XL 97A compound tread mounted on a steel core. The 97A Shore A durometer hardness provides durability for standard indoor material handling on dry to slightly wet floors. The bolt-on mounting secures the assembly to your lift truck fork structure.
Q: Which electric lift trucks is the CT 1201776 compatible with?
A: The CT 1201776 is a direct OEM replacement for Caterpillar electric lift trucks. The cross-referenced CT 1201776-XL variant is compatible with Clark electric pallet jacks. Confirm your equipment OEM and model before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: Can I use the CT 1201776 on wet floors or in cold storage?
A: The standard 97A polyurethane compound on the CT 1201776 is rated for typical indoor warehouse conditions. For wet floors or cold storage environments, request our high-traction compound option (EZ designation), which provides superior grip in moisture and low-temperature applications.
Q: What is the difference between CT 1201776 and CT 1201776-XL?
A: Both units feature 97A polyurethane tread and steel cores. The XL designation indicates a larger or extended size configuration. Cross-reference availability shows the -XL variant is interchangeable with Clark CL 1201776-XL for compatible Clark electric pallet jacks. Confirm your equipment specifications before selecting the correct variant.
Q: How long will the CT 1201776 last before replacement?
A: Idler caster lifespan depends on daily load cycles, floor surface abrasiveness, and maintenance. Inspect tread depth regularly. Worn casters reduce load stability and increase steering resistance. Replace when tread becomes significantly worn or when bearing movement increases.
