Poly dt mold-on 87A x-groove

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the 50020215-XG-EZ?
A: The EZ suffix indicates a high-traction polyurethane compound designed for material handling equipment in wet floors and cold storage applications. The polyurethane material provides superior grip compared to standard rubber on slippery surfaces. The XG designation refers to the cross-groove tread pattern.

Q: What is the durometer rating of this polyurethane wheel?
A: The polyurethane is rated at 87A durometer, meaning it is a moderately soft compound that balances grip with durability. This hardness is optimal for cold storage and wet floor environments where traction is critical but the wheel must still resist excessive wear.

Q: Where is this caster wheel best used?
A: This wheel is engineered for cold storage, freezer facilities, and wet or oily floor environments where standard wheels lose traction. The high-traction polyurethane compound and cross-groove tread pattern maintain grip on slippery surfaces. It is not recommended for dry warehouse or outdoor rough terrain applications.

Q: What equipment is this wheel compatible with?
A: This is a Jungheinrich mold-on polyurethane wheel. Compatibility with other lift truck brands (Yale, Hyster, Crown, Toyota, Raymond) depends on matching caster frame type, bore size, wheel diameter, and mounting method. Verify your equipment model and current wheel specifications before ordering, as mounting systems vary across manufacturers.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of this polyurethane wheel?
A: Polyurethane wheels typically outlast rubber wheels in harsh environments due to superior cold and chemical resistance. Actual lifespan depends on load frequency, floor surface texture, temperature exposure, and maintenance. Regular inspection for wear, cracks, or flat-spotting will help maximize wheel life.
