The XL extended size provides maximum load-bearing surface and superior weight distribution for demanding warehouse operations. Constructed from durable 97A polyurethane compound, this wheel delivers excellent wear resistance and stability on warehouse floors. Ideal for heavy-duty material handling in indoor distribution centers, loading docks, and manufacturing facilities where reliable performance and long service life are essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does XL designate in the 51368734-XL-A load wheel assembly?
A: The XL designation indicates an extended load wheel size within Jungheinrich part specifications. This load wheel is constructed from 97A durometer polyurethane, a harder compound compared to standard wheels. The XL size provides increased load-bearing capacity and contact surface area for heavy-duty pallet truck applications.
Q: What is the difference between 97A and 95A polyurethane hardness for load wheels?
A: The 97A durometer rating is firmer and more durable than 95A compounds. The higher hardness provides greater wear resistance, better load stability, and extended wheel life under heavy or continuous loading. Trade-offs include reduced shock absorption and less traction on slippery surfaces. Select 97A for high-volume operations and heavy loads.
Q: Which Jungheinrich equipment models are compatible with the 51368734-XL-A?
A: The 51368734-XL-A is designed as a load wheel for Jungheinrich electric pallet trucks and walkie stackers. Load wheels carry the weight of the load and differ from caster wheels in construction and placement. Consult your equipment documentation to confirm compatibility with this XL extended wheel size.
Q: What surfaces is the 97A polyurethane compound suitable for?
A: The 97A durometer polyurethane performs well on dry concrete and sealed warehouse floors typical of standard material handling environments. This compound is not optimized for wet floors, cold storage, or outdoor surfaces. For wet or temperature-sensitive applications, consult alternative wheel specifications designed for those conditions.
Q: How does XL load wheel size affect equipment performance?
A: XL extended load wheels provide greater tread surface contact area, which distributes weight more effectively and improves stability during load handling. The larger size reduces stress concentration on the bearing and axle, enhancing overall equipment performance and extending component life in high-demand operations.
Q: What maintenance does the 51368734-XL-A require during service?
A: Inspect the wheel regularly for excessive wear, flat spots, or damage to the polyurethane compound. Check bearing clearance and lubrication according to your equipment's maintenance schedule. Clean the wheel surface to remove debris and maintain traction. Replace the wheel when wear exceeds safe operating limits or when the polyurethane surface becomes compromised.
