Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Crown electric pallet truck models is the CR 100462-A1 compatible with?
A: The CR 100462-A1 is designed for Crown PE 3000, PE 4000, and PE 4500 series electric pallet trucks. This multi-model compatibility makes it a flexible replacement option. Always verify your equipment model plate and bearing bore dimension to confirm fitment before ordering.
Q: What are the wheel diameter, width, and hardness rating?
A: The CR 100462-A1 features a Shore A 95 polyurethane compound. The polyurethane tread is bonded to a high-durability cast iron core. The 95A hardness provides good balance between traction and wear resistance for standard warehouse and dock environments.
Q: How many bearings does this assembly include and what type?
A: The CR 100462-A1 includes 2 x 6205 bearings, providing dual-point load support for extended service life and reduced bearing wear. Confirm whether your equipment uses sealed (2RS) or open bearings, as bearing type affects maintenance requirements. Sealed bearings require no routine greasing; open bearings need periodic lubrication.
Q: What is the part number history and supersession status?
A: The CR 100462-A1 supersedes earlier part numbers including CR100462, 100462, CR 100462-A, and 100462-A. Equivalent numbers include 100462-305-88 and CR 100462-301-88. When replacing older wheels on existing equipment, use the A1 designation as your primary specification to ensure you receive the updated assembly.
Q: How does the polyurethane 95A compound perform on different floor types?
A: The 95A Shore hardness polyurethane provides reliable traction on concrete, tile, and smooth warehouse floors. Performance is adequate on slightly wet floors but not recommended for prolonged wet or freezer use. For cold storage below 0 degrees Fahrenheit or consistently wet environments, evaluate extended-traction polyurethane wheel options with higher durometer ratings.
Q: What is the typical lifespan for this load wheel assembly?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions with consistent maintenance, the CR 100462-A1 typically lasts 2,000 to 4,000 operating hours. Heavy loads, rough floors, and frequent impact reduce lifespan. Regular bearing lubrication (if open bearings) and floor debris removal extend wheel life significantly. Replace when tread becomes flat or hardness noticeably increases.
Q: Should I store spare assemblies in any particular way?
A: Store load wheel assemblies indoors in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Protect from ozone, oils, and solvents which can degrade polyurethane. Keep wheels upright or flat (not on edge for extended periods) to maintain shape and bearing alignment. Sealed-bearing assemblies can be stored for extended periods without special maintenance.
