CT 1201773-XL

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 3.87 inches, bore diameter of 0.87 inches, and is rated for 2200 lbs per wheel. This extended version (XL designation) provides enhanced load handling for heavy-duty Caterpillar pallet truck applications.

Q: How does the 97A durometer in the CT 1201773-XL differ from the standard 95A wheels?
A: The CT 1201773-XL uses high-rebound 97A durometer polyurethane, which is 2 points harder than the standard 95A. This increases wear resistance and load-carrying capacity while slightly reducing grip on smooth floors. The 97A formulation is designed for heavy-load, fast-paced operations.

Q: What is the core material in the CT 1201773-XL and why does it matter?
A: The CT 1201773-XL uses a machined steel core for precision fit and durability under the 2200 lb per-wheel load rating. Machining ensures consistent bore and surface tolerances, reducing runout and vibration during operation on Caterpillar pallet trucks.

Q: Is the CT 1201773-XL compatible with standard Caterpillar models or only specific pallet truck lines?
A: The CT 1201773-XL is designed for Caterpillar pallet trucks requiring the 3.87 inch diameter and 0.87 inch bore specification. Verify your equipment manual to confirm the XL variant is the correct replacement; do not assume interchangeability with standard CT 1201773 applications.

Q: What cross-reference part numbers are equivalent to CT 1201773-XL?
A: CT 1201773-XL is related to CT 1201773-A and CT 1201773, but the XL variant has distinct dimensional and durometer specifications. Always reference the OEM part number in your equipment documentation to ensure correct ordering.
