Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the CT 1201764-XL load wheel?
A: The XL designation indicates an extra-large or extended specification. The CT 1201764-XL features 97A Shore polyurethane hardness, which is harder and more durable than the standard 95A Durarun wheel, offering increased wear resistance for demanding duty cycles.
Q: What is the hardness difference between the CT 1201764-XL (97A) and standard CT 1201764 (95A)?
A: The CT 1201764-XL uses 97A Shore polyurethane versus 95A on the standard CT 1201764. The 97A hardness provides increased wear resistance, longer lifespan, and better durability under heavy or continuous duty cycles. Trade-off is slightly reduced floor protection and ride quality.
Q: Is the CT 1201764-XL suitable for cold storage environments?
A: The 97A polyurethane on the CT 1201764-XL is engineered for high-impact applications but is not specifically formulated as a High Traction cold storage wheel. For freezer or cold storage use, verify temperature specifications or consider dedicated cold storage polyurethane options.
Q: Can the CT 1201764-XL be used as a direct replacement for CT 1201764 or CT 1201281?
A: The CT 1201764-XL can be substituted for CT 1201764 or CT 1201281 if wheel diameter and bore diameter (20mm) match your equipment. However, the 97A hardness provides different floor protection characteristics. Verify that your equipment and flooring are compatible with increased wheel hardness.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a CT 1201764-XL 97A polyurethane wheel?
A: The 97A Shore polyurethane on the CT 1201764-XL typically provides 18 to 36 months of service life in standard material handling, with longer lifespan than 95A wheels due to increased hardness and wear resistance. Actual lifespan depends on duty cycle, floor conditions, and load weights.
Q: Is the CT 1201764-XL compatible with non-Caterpillar electric lift trucks?
A: The CT 1201764-XL is engineered for Caterpillar equipment. Cross-compatibility with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, or other brands requires matching wheel diameter, bore diameter, and hub configuration. Verify complete specifications before ordering for other equipment brands.
