CT 1051264-XL

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the hardness rating of the CT 1051264-XL polyurethane wheel?
A: The CT 1051264-XL features 97A durometer polyurethane construction. This enhanced hardness specification provides increased abrasion resistance and extended wear life compared to standard 95A wheels, making it suitable for high-utilization or heavy-load reach truck applications.

Q: What Caterpillar equipment is the CT 1051264-XL compatible with?
A: The CT 1051264-XL is designed for Caterpillar electric lift trucks, building on the CT 1051264 platform. Select this variant when your NRR35 reach truck or similar Caterpillar equipment operates under heavy loads or extended cycle demands that require the upgraded 97A hardness specification.

Q: What material type is used in the CT 1051264-XL?
A: The CT 1051264-XL uses polyurethane tread material bonded to a steel hub core. Polyurethane provides excellent floor grip and load distribution, while the steel hub ensures structural integrity under the sustained stresses of reach truck operations.

Q: When should I choose CT 1051264-XL over the standard CT 1051264?
A: Select the XL variant with 97A durometer when your application experiences heavy daily cycle counts, operates under loads near the truck maximum capacity, or when standard 95A wheels show excessive wear or flat-spotting. The harder compound extends service intervals significantly in these scenarios.

Q: What is the typical service life of a 97A polyurethane idler caster in reach truck service?
A: A 97A durometer wheel typically provides 24 to 48 months of service in normal to heavy-duty reach truck environments, depending on cycle intensity and floor conditions. The harder compound resists wear better than 95A, especially under sustained high-utilization schedules.
