Polyurethane Mold-On Drive Tire X-Groove 87A Shore

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the 0039902347-XG-EZ?
A: The EZ suffix indicates a high-traction polyurethane compound specifically formulated for material handling equipment used on wet, slippery, or cold storage surfaces. The EZ designation refers to the enhanced grip characteristics of the tire formulation, not ease of installation.

Q: What is the hardness rating of the 0039902347-XG-EZ?
A: This tire features 87A Shore A hardness polyurethane. This hardness level provides a balance between durability and traction, offering wear resistance for heavy-duty warehouse operations while maintaining grip on various floor types.

Q: What is the X-groove tread pattern used for?
A: The X-groove tread profile is designed to enhance traction on industrial warehouse floors. The crosshatched groove pattern helps improve lateral grip and directional control, particularly useful when navigating tight aisles or operating on wet or cold floors.

Q: When should I use this high-traction tire versus a standard polyurethane drive tire?
A: Use the 0039902347-XG-EZ with EZ high-traction compound in operations involving wet floors, slippery surfaces, cold storage environments, or demanding material handling applications. For standard dry warehouse conditions, conventional polyurethane tires may be adequate.

Q: Is the 0039902347-XG-EZ a mold-on or bonded tire assembly?
A: This is a mold-on polyurethane drive tire, meaning the polyurethane tread is molded directly onto the wheel core during manufacturing. This construction ensures strong adhesion and consistent performance throughout the tire life.

Q: What industries benefit most from this tire design?
A: The 0039902347-XG-EZ is well-suited for food processing, cold storage facilities, beverage distribution, dairy operations, and any warehouse requiring enhanced traction. The high-grip compound maintains performance in low-temperature and high-moisture environments.
