Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the durometer rating and material composition of the CT 289069-XL load wheel?
A: The CT 289069-XL is constructed from high-performance polyurethane with a 97A durometer rating. It features XL3 chemical bonding technology to resist bond separation and heat buildup, making it suitable for severe duty applications where cut and tear resistance are critical.
Q: Which equipment types and manufacturers is the CT 289069-XL compatible with?
A: The CT 289069-XL is designed for heavy-duty electric lift truck and pallet truck applications. It is compatible with Caterpillar equipment and fits load wheel positions on electric-powered material handling equipment where high cycle life and wear resistance are required.
Q: What is the cross-reference part number for the CT 289069-XL?
A: The CT 289069-XL is equivalent to CT 51043753. This load wheel supersedes CT 289069 and carries OEM part number CT 289069-XL.
Q: What performance advantage does XL3 chemical bonding technology provide?
A: XL3 chemical bonding technology improves durability by preventing bond separation between the polyurethane compound and the wheel core, while reducing heat buildup during extended operation. This extends cycle life in severe duty applications.
Q: When should I replace the CT 289069-XL load wheel?
A: Replace the CT 289069-XL when visible wear patterns develop, the wheel diameter reduces significantly, or cut and tear damage compromises the polyurethane surface. Worn wheels reduce load truck steering response and increase strain on the drive mechanism.
