Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of this 5-inch TPR swivel caster wheel?
A: This caster features a wheel with steel frame construction, and 1/2"-13 UNC threaded stem. The thermoplastic rubber material provides traction and quiet operation on smooth warehouse floors. Verify mounting dimensions match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What material is this wheel made from and what are its benefits?
A: The wheel uses thermoplastic rubber (TPR) bonded to a steel caster frame. TPR provides moderate traction, quiet operation, and resistance to floor oils and common warehouse debris. The steel frame delivers durability under heavy loads. TPR wheels wear gradually over time; performance declines as tread flattens.
Q: Which equipment brands and models is this caster compatible with?
A: This Jungheinrich caster is primarily designed for Jungheinrich electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Similar TPR casters with matching thread specifications are used by Toyota, Raymond, Crown, and Hyster equipment, but thread size and mounting configurations vary across brands. Always verify your equipment model and current caster specifications before ordering.
Q: What is the typical lifespan and wear pattern of a TPR caster wheel?
A: On smooth warehouse floors with light-to-moderate use, a TPR caster typically operates 1 to 3 years before tread flattens and traction decreases. Rough or contaminated floors accelerate wear. Inspect wheels regularly for flat spots, cracking, frame separation, or uneven wear patterns indicating replacement need.
Q: How should this caster wheel be stored when not in use?
A: Store caster wheels indoors in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can degrade TPR material. Keep wheels off the floor on a rack or shelf to prevent moisture accumulation and flat-spotting. Store separately from equipment until ready for installation.
