Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the physical dimensions and weight capacity of the CT 1201773-XL?
A: The CT 1201773-XL has a wheel diameter of with a bore diameter, rated for per wheel. The XL designation indicates an extended-duty configuration designed for heavy-load Caterpillar pallet truck applications.
Q: What does the 97A durometer rating mean?
A: The 97A durometer indicates a high-rebound polyurethane hardness rating that is 2 points harder than standard 95A formulations. This provides increased wear resistance and load-carrying capacity, making it ideal for fast-paced, heavy-duty operations on industrial pallet trucks.
Q: Why is a machined steel core important?
A: The machined steel core ensures precision bore and surface tolerances, which reduces runout and vibration during operation. This is critical for supporting the 2200 lb per-wheel load rating and maintaining consistent performance on Caterpillar equipment.
Q: Is the CT 1201773-XL compatible with all Caterpillar pallet truck models?
A: The CT 1201773-XL is designed for Caterpillar pallet trucks requiring the specific inch diameter and inch bore configuration. Verify your equipment documentation to confirm compatibility with your particular model before ordering.
Q: How does the CT 1201773-XL differ from the standard CT 1201773?
A: The CT 1201773-XL is the extended-duty variant with enhanced load capacity and durometer specifications optimized for heavy-duty applications. The standard CT 1201773 may have different dimensional or performance characteristics. Always reference your equipment manual when replacing wheels.
Q: How long does a polyurethane wheel typically last in service?
A: Polyurethane wheel lifespan depends on load intensity, floor surface conditions, and operational hours. Regular inspection for wear, flat spots, or damage is recommended. High-durometer wheels like the 97A variant generally outlast softer compounds in demanding environments.
