Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key specifications of the YL 5044497-31-XL-A load wheel?
A: The YL 5044497-31-XL-A features a 3.250 inch wheel diameter with 97 Shore A polyurethane construction bonded to a steel core. The assembly includes an integrated precision ball bearing and complete axle mounting hardware for Yale electric pallet jacks.
Q: Which Yale equipment does this wheel assembly fit?
A: The YL 5044497-31-XL-A is engineered for Yale material handling equipment requiring heavy-duty load wheel replacements in electric pallet jack applications. Cross-reference to YT 5044497-31-XL-A and verify your specific Yale model before ordering.
Q: What bearing type is included in this assembly?
A: The YL 5044497-31-XL-A includes an integrated precision ball bearing configuration designed to support sustained load cycles typical in warehouse and distribution operations. The bearing is pre-mounted in the wheel hub.
Q: What cross-reference part numbers are equivalent to the YL 5044497-31-XL-A?
A: The YL 5044497-31-XL-A is interchangeable with YT 5044497-31-XL-A, YL504449731XLA, YT504449731XLA, and YL 5044497-31-XL. Always confirm cross-reference compatibility with your equipment documentation.
Q: How does 97 Shore A polyurethane affect performance compared to softer compounds?
A: The 97 Shore A durometer rating indicates a harder, more abrasion-resistant polyurethane formulation. This higher hardness reduces tread wear during high-cycle operation and improves load capacity, making it suitable for intensive material handling environments.
Q: Does this wheel come with mounting hardware?
A: Yes. The YL 5044497-31-XL-A assembly includes complete axle mounting hardware designed for Yale lift truck specifications. Verify mounting compatibility with your specific equipment model.
