Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the CT 1009234-XL different from standard polyurethane load wheels?
A: The CT 1009234-XL features an XL grade heavy-duty polyurethane compound with 97A Shore durometer hardness and XL3 poly/steel bonding technology, designed for high-cycle industrial material handling and extended service life.
Q: What equipment types is the CT 1009234-XL compatible with?
A: The CT 1009234-XL is designed for select Caterpillar electric pallet trucks and stackers. Confirm your equipment model before ordering to verify compatibility.
Q: What are the advantages of XL3 poly/steel bonding technology used in the CT 1009234-XL?
A: XL3 bonding provides superior adhesion between the polyurethane tread and steel hub, reducing delamination and increasing durability in high-duty-cycle applications with frequent stop-start operations.
Q: What is the durometer rating of the CT 1009234-XL and what does it mean for performance?
A: The CT 1009234-XL has a 97A Shore durometer rating, which indicates a harder compound than standard wheels. This provides greater resistance to wear and scuffing but offers slightly less floor compliance than softer grades.
Q: Is the CT 1009234-XL suitable for cold storage or wet environments?
A: The industrial-grade polyurethane compound in the CT 1009234-XL is designed for general warehouse applications. For cold storage or high-moisture environments, verify material performance with a specialized high-traction polyurethane option.
