Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the wheel dimensions and material specifications for the HY 3012966?
A: The HY 3012966 features a 3.25 inch diameter load wheel with a 4.50 inch tread width. The wheel is constructed from Durarun Polyurethane rated at 95A hardness, mounted on a cast iron or steel core. The assembly includes sealed ball bearings and a precision axle for smooth, maintenance-free operation.
Q: Which Hyster and Yale models does the HY 3012966 fit?
A: The HY 3012966 is designed for Hyster W40Z and W45Z electric pallet jacks. It is also compatible with Yale MPB040E models. Verify your exact model designation before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: What cross-reference and equivalent part numbers exist for the HY 3012966?
A: Cross-reference part numbers include 310700-203-KIT, 360038-176, and our house brand equivalent GWK-W40Z-LW. The HY 3012966 replaces and is equivalent to 310700-203-KIT and 360038-176. Verify part number compatibility with your equipment before purchase.
Q: Does the HY 3012966 include all hardware needed for replacement?
A: Yes. The HY 3012966 is a complete kit that includes all mechanical hardware required for direct replacement, including the axle, bearings, and fastening hardware. This is a plug-and-play component for compatible models.
Q: How durable is the 95A polyurethane wheel on the HY 3012966?
A: Polyurethane at 95A hardness provides good wear resistance for standard indoor and moderate-duty material handling. Sealed ball bearings extend component life by protecting against moisture and contamination. Expected lifespan depends on load, floor surface, and operational hours. Inspect regularly for wear, flat spots, or bearing noise.
Q: What maintenance does the HY 3012966 assembly require?
A: The sealed ball bearings require no scheduled lubrication. Keep the wheel clean and inspect regularly for damage. Bearing seals protect against water and dirt intrusion, but avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or high-pressure washers. Replace when tread wears significantly or bearings become noisy.
