Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions and bore type for the CT 1050132-A load wheel?
A: The CT 1050132-A has a 5.000 inch diameter, 2.875 inch width, and 2.047 inch bore. It uses a press-fit mounting style with a high-strength steel core bonded to polyurethane tread.
Q: Which Caterpillar electric pallet truck models use the CT 1050132-A load wheel?
A: This wheel is designed as a replacement load wheel assembly for various Caterpillar electric lift trucks that specify CT 1050132 or CT1050132 original equipment manufacturer part numbers. Verify your equipment manual for exact compatibility.
Q: What is the polyurethane durometer rating and what does 95A mean for load applications?
A: The CT 1050132-A uses a 95A durometer polyurethane tread. A 95A Shore durometer indicates a harder compound suitable for high-load bearing and abrasion resistance in typical indoor and outdoor material handling applications. The 95A formulation balances durability with floor protection.
Q: How does the CT 1050132-A compare to the CT 1050132-XL in terms of durometer and application?
A: The CT 1050132-A features a 95A durometer tread, while the CT 1050132-XL uses a harder 97A durometer with non-marking high-hardness polyurethane. Both share identical dimensions (5.000 inch diameter x 2.875 inch width x 2.047 inch bore). Choose the XL for applications requiring maximum abrasion resistance or where non-marking tread is critical.
Q: Can the CT 1050132-A be used as a direct replacement for other Caterpillar 1050132 variants?
A: The CT 1050132-A is compatible with equipment specifying CT 1050132 or equivalent cross-references. Always confirm mounting bore diameter (2.047 inch) and overall dimensions match your fork assembly before ordering. The press-fit style requires proper equipment for installation.
Q: What is the expected lifespan and maintenance requirements for the CT 1050132-A?
A: Polyurethane load wheels typically provide extended service life in standard warehouse environments. Lifespan depends on load weight, floor conditions, and usage frequency. Inspect wheels regularly for tread wear, cracking, or delamination. Replace when tread thickness becomes inadequate for load bearing or when structural damage occurs.
