Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the CT 1050132-XL load wheel?
A: The CT 1050132-XL features a 5.000 inch diameter, 2.875 inch width, and 2.047 inch bore. It has a 97A durometer polyurethane tread with non-marking flat tread design and a CNC-machined high-strength steel core. This higher durometer rating provides superior abrasion resistance compared to standard 95A options.
Q: Which OEM part numbers does the CT 1050132-XL replace or interchange with?
A: The CT 1050132-XL interchanges with OEM Caterpillar 1050132 and CT1050132-MIL part numbers. Both the original and XL versions use identical bore and mounting dimensions, making the XL a direct fit upgrade for equipment originally equipped with standard 1050132 load wheels.
Q: What does non-marking tread mean and when should I use the CT 1050132-XL?
A: Non-marking tread means the polyurethane formulation is designed to prevent scuff marks on floor surfaces. Use the CT 1050132-XL in environments where floor appearance matters, such as retail or finished warehouse areas, or where non-marking compounds are contractually required. The 97A high-hardness polyurethane also resists marking better than softer compounds.
Q: Is the CT 1050132-XL compatible with Caterpillar electric lift trucks designed for CT1050132 load wheels?
A: Yes. The CT 1050132-XL maintains the exact same bore diameter (2.047 inch) and overall width (2.875 inch) as the original CT 1050132, ensuring compatibility with all Caterpillar electric lift truck forks designed for this load wheel. The XL is a direct replacement upgrade.
Q: How does the 97A durometer of the XL affect durability and performance compared to 95A options?
A: The 97A durometer is 2 points harder than the standard 95A, delivering increased abrasion resistance and extended tread life under heavy or frequent use. This higher hardness reduces wear rate in high-traffic material handling environments but provides only slightly firmer floor feel. Both ratings meet load-bearing requirements for industrial pallet truck applications.
