PR 303692-A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the complete specifications of the PR 303692-A load wheel assembly?
A: The PR 303692-A is a 6 inch diameter load wheel with a 4 inch tread width, 2.835 inch bore, polyurethane tread, cast iron core, 95A Shore A hardness, and shoulder bearings. These specifications make it suitable for demanding material handling environments on BT electric lift trucks.

Q: Which BT electric lift truck models are compatible with the PR 303692-A?
A: The PR 303692-A is designed for BT Prime Mover electric lift trucks requiring a 6 inch diameter load wheel with 2.835 inch bore. Verify your truck model and serial range match this specification before ordering. Contact us if you need fitment confirmation.

Q: What does the 95A Shore A hardness mean for the PR 303692-A wheel?
A: 95A Shore A hardness indicates a firm polyurethane compound. This hardness level provides excellent load capacity, durability, and resistance to wear in demanding material handling environments. The harder tread maintains shape under heavy loads better than softer compounds.

Q: Why does the PR 303692-A use a cast iron core instead of other materials?
A: Cast iron cores provide strength, rigidity, and the ability to support heavy loads without deformation. The cast iron does not compress under load like some materials, ensuring consistent wheel diameter and truck stability throughout the wheel lifespan.

Q: What is the function of the shoulder bearings on the PR 303692-A?
A: Shoulder bearings support radial loads and enable smooth rolling motion. They reduce friction between the wheel and its axle mount, allowing efficient truck movement. Bearing wear or damage causes resistance, noise, or jerky movement.

Q: How do I know when the PR 303692-A wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the PR 303692-A when you observe flat spots on the tread, cracks or chunks missing from the polyurethane, grinding or bearing noise during movement, reduced traction, or visible separation between the tread and cast iron core.
