Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material and durometer rating of the CT 289069-XL?
A: The CT 289069-XL is constructed from high-performance polyurethane with a 97A durometer rating. This hardness level provides excellent cut and tear resistance while maintaining flexibility for load distribution on electric lift trucks and pallet jacks.
Q: What is XL3™ chemical bonding technology?
A: XL3™ bonding technology is a proprietary Caterpillar process that chemically bonds the polyurethane tread to the wheel core. This prevents bond separation and reduces heat buildup during extended operations, extending cycle life in severe-duty applications.
Q: What equipment is the CT 289069-XL compatible with?
A: The CT 289069-XL is designed for Caterpillar electric lift trucks, electric pallet jacks, and similar electric-powered material handling equipment. It functions as a load wheel (non-drive wheel) in lift truck assemblies.
Q: Is the CT 289069-XL a direct replacement for other part numbers?
A: Yes. The CT 289069-XL is equivalent to part number CT 51043753 and supersedes the earlier CT 289069. It is a direct replacement for these original equipment compatible parts.
Q: What are the signs that I need to replace the CT 289069-XL load wheel?
A: Replace the wheel when you observe visible wear patterns, significant reduction, surface cracks, cuts, or chunks missing from the polyurethane. Worn wheels reduce steering response and increase strain on the truck's drive and steering mechanisms.
Q: How should the CT 289069-XL be stored before use?
A: Store the wheel in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, ozone, and extreme temperatures. Proper storage prevents premature degradation of the polyurethane and preserves the bonding integrity.
Q: Does the CT 289069-XL require maintenance?
A: Routine maintenance includes inspection for wear and cracks during regular truck servicing. Clean the wheel surface periodically to remove debris. No special lubrication or treatment is required for polyurethane wheels.
