Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the durometer rating and what does it mean?
A: The KA1Y4/100 load wheel features a 97A durometer rating, which indicates a medium-hard polyurethane compound. This durometer rating provides good wear resistance, floor grip, and durability for typical warehouse and light industrial electric pallet jack and lift truck applications.
Q: What equipment types are compatible with the KA1Y4/100 load wheel?
A: The KA1Y4/100 is designed as a direct replacement load wheel for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Before ordering, verify that the mounting diameter, wheel width, and axle specifications of your equipment match this wheel's specifications.
Q: What is the difference between KA1Y4/100 and KA1Y4/100-XL?
A: Both variants feature 97A durometer polyurethane construction. The designation difference typically indicates a size or application variant. Confirm your equipment's wheel diameter, width, and mounting specifications to select the correct part for your needs.
Q: Is the KA1Y4/100 suitable for wet floors or cold storage?
A: The KA1Y4/100 uses a standard 97A polyurethane compound suitable for general warehouse use. For extended operation on wet, slippery, or cold storage surfaces, you may want to evaluate whether an enhanced-traction polyurethane formulation would better meet your operational environment. Contact our team to discuss your specific application requirements.
Q: What is the load capacity rating?
A: Load capacity depends on the complete lift truck or pallet jack assembly, not the wheel alone. Verify your equipment's rated load capacity and confirm that the KA1Y4/100 wheel diameter, width, and mounting specifications match your equipment before ordering.
Q: How should the KA1Y4/100 be stored or maintained?
A: Store the wheel in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as excessive heat or UV exposure can degrade polyurethane compounds over time. Inspect the wheel periodically for cracks, flat spots, or loss of elasticity. Clean with mild soap and water as needed to maintain optimal performance.
Q: How many reuse cycles does a polyurethane load wheel typically provide?
A: Wheel lifespan varies based on load weight, floor surface conditions, operational hours, and maintenance. A well-maintained 97A durometer polyurethane wheel typically provides 2-5 years of service in standard warehouse environments. Wheels on heavily used equipment or rough surfaces may require replacement sooner.
