Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 971875-XL and how does it differ from the standard CT 971875?
A: The CT 971875-XL is a premium load wheel assembly featuring a Cushothane XL polyurethane compound with XL3 bonding technology. It is heavy-duty cycle rated, offering higher durometer (97A vs 95A), superior bond separation resistance, and enhanced performance for severe surface conditions compared to the standard CT 971875 wheel.
Q: What does the XL3 bonding technology provide?
A: XL3 bonding technology is a specialized surface treatment applied to the steel hub that ensures maximum polyurethane adhesion and guaranteed bond separation resistance. This technology prevents tread separation under heavy load and severe duty cycle conditions, extending assembly lifespan.
Q: What is the durometer rating of the Cushothane XL compound?
A: The CT 971875-XL uses a Cushothane XL polyurethane compound rated at 97A Shore durometer. This higher hardness compared to the standard 95A provides increased load capacity, greater wear resistance, and superior performance under maximum load applications and severe surface conditions.
Q: Which equipment applications is the CT 971875-XL designed for?
A: The CT 971875-XL is engineered for heavy-duty cycle rated replacement on Caterpillar electric pallet jacks and material handling equipment. It is rated for maximum load capacity applications where standard duty cycle wheels are insufficient.
Q: What is the highest duty cycle tolerance of the CT 971875-XL?
A: The CT 971875-XL is classified as heavy-duty cycle rated with the highest duty cycle tolerance available in this product line. It is designed for continuous or near-continuous operation under maximum load conditions where standard wheels would experience premature wear or failure.
Q: Is the CT 971875-XL compatible with the same Caterpillar electric lift truck models as CT 971875?
A: Yes, the CT 971875-XL maintains the same 5.00 inch diameter and 3.25 inch width as the standard CT 971875, making it compatible with the same Caterpillar electric pallet jack and lift truck models. It is a direct heavy-duty upgrade for applications requiring superior performance and durability.
