Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 100462-020-A load wheel assembly?
A: The CR 100462-020-A is a complete load wheel assembly. It features 95 Shore A polyurethane tread bonded to a ductile iron core, paired with 6205 ball bearings and a center spacer for Crown electric pallet truck applications.
Q: Which Crown pallet truck models is the CR 100462-020-A compatible with?
A: The CR 100462-020-A is designed for Crown PE 3000 series, Crown PE 4000 series, and Crown PE 4500 series electric pallet trucks. Verify your equipment model and serial range to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between ductile iron and cast iron?
A: Ductile iron (also called nodular iron) offers greater impact resistance and flexibility than standard cast iron while maintaining strength. This property reduces cracking under shock loads and improves durability in applications involving rapid direction changes or uneven floor conditions common in material handling.
Q: Are the bearings on the CR 100462-020-A sealed?
A: The CR 100462-020-A includes standard 6205 ball bearings with a center spacer. These are open bearings, not sealed. If you need sealed bearings for contamination protection in wet or dusty environments, consult Crown's sealed bearing alternatives.
Q: What older part numbers does the CR 100462-020-A replace?
A: The CR 100462-020-A replaces CR 100462-020, CR100462-020A, 100462-020, CR 100462-A, and 100462. It is equivalent to CR100462-020A, CR 100462-A, and CR100462-A. If your equipment documentation references any of these legacy numbers, the CR 100462-020-A provides the current direct replacement.
Q: How does 95 Shore A polyurethane perform compared to other hardness ratings?
A: 95 Shore A is medium-hard polyurethane that provides a balance between load capacity and traction. It performs well on standard concrete and finished floors typical in warehouses. Higher durometer wheels (100+ Shore A) sacrifice grip for increased wear resistance, while lower durometers sacrifice durability for better traction on smooth surfaces.
Q: How should the CR 100462-020-A load wheel be stored?
A: Store the wheel assembly in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to preserve polyurethane integrity. Keep it upright or mounted in a way that prevents flat spots from forming under continuous weight. Store away from oils, solvents, and other chemicals that can degrade the polyurethane tread.
