Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material specification for the CT 1050236-XL idler caster wheel?
A: The CT 1050236-XL features a Polyurethane XL wheel with 97A durometer hardness. XL designation refers to an extra-durable, high-durometer polyurethane formulation engineered for extended wear life in material handling applications.
Q: Is the CT 1050236-XL a powered or non-powered caster?
A: The CT 1050236-XL is a non-powered idler caster. It provides directional steering and load support for the electric lift truck but does not transmit drive power.
Q: What does XL durometer rating mean for the CT 1050236-XL performance?
A: The 97A Shore durometer XL compound resists abrasion and deformation under heavy loads and prolonged use. This high-durometer formulation delivers longer wheel life than standard compounds when used on typical warehouse floors and plant surfaces.
Q: How does the CT 1050236-XL compare to standard durometer idler casters?
A: The CT 1050236-XL uses a harder 97A polyurethane compound versus typical 85-90A medium-durometer casters. The higher durometer provides superior wear resistance and slower degradation under sustained loads, making it suitable for high-utilization equipment requiring longer service intervals between replacements.
Q: Is the CT 1050236-XL a direct OEM replacement part?
A: Yes, the CT 1050236-XL is engineered as a direct OEM replacement idler caster for Caterpillar electric lift trucks originally specified with this part number. Verify your equipment model and OEM specification match before ordering.
