Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material composition and hardness rating of the CT 1050234-XL idler caster?
A: The CT 1050234-XL features a Poly XL polyurethane wheel with a 97A durometer hardness rating. This high-durometer compound provides excellent wear resistance and load capacity for demanding material handling applications on electric lift trucks.
Q: Which Caterpillar electric lift truck models is the CT 1050234-XL compatible with?
A: The CT 1050234-XL is an OEM replacement idler caster designed for Caterpillar electric lift truck models that originally specify this part number. Verify your equipment model and serial prefix match the requirements for CT 1050234-XL before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: Is the CT 1050234-XL wheel powered or non-powered?
A: The CT 1050234-XL is a non-powered idler caster wheel. It does not have motor drive and provides directional steering and support for the lift truck frame.
Q: How does the 97A durometer hardness affect performance compared to softer compounds?
A: The 97A Shore hardness is a high-durometer formulation that resists abrasion and maintains shape under sustained load better than softer compounds. This durability advantage comes with slightly reduced grip on very smooth or polished surfaces compared to medium-durometer wheels, but superior performance on standard warehouse floors.
