Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the RA 631-051-XL load wheel?
A: The RA 631-051-XL has a 5 inch diameter with 2.875 inch tread width and 25 mm bore diameter. These specifications are engineered for Raymond electric lift truck outrigger applications.
Q: What material and durometer rating does the RA 631-051-XL use?
A: The RA 631-051-XL features Poly XL high-performance polyurethane tread rated at 97A Shore durometer. The higher 97A rating provides increased wear resistance and load capacity compared to standard 95A compounds.
Q: What bearing type is installed on the RA 631-051-XL?
A: The RA 631-051-XL is equipped with a 6205 ball bearing. This bearing size is optimized for the 25 mm bore diameter and supports smooth rotation under continuous warehouse lift truck service.
Q: Are there cross-reference or equivalent part numbers for the RA 631-051-XL?
A: The RA 631-051-XL is equivalent to Raymond 631-051 and 631-051-003. Verify the exact part number in your equipment documentation, as numbering formats may vary across different truck models and production years.
Q: How does the 97A Poly XL compound compare to standard 95A polyurethane?
A: The 97A Poly XL compound is harder and more wear-resistant than 95A polyurethane. Higher durometer ratings provide longer tread life and improved load distribution, making the RA 631-051-XL suitable for demanding warehouse lift truck operations with sustained high-cycle service.
Q: Which Raymond electric lift truck models use the RA 631-051-XL?
A: The RA 631-051-XL fits Raymond electric lift trucks using the 631-051 wheel mounting pattern. Confirm your truck model designation and verify bore and dimension compatibility before ordering.
Q: What maintenance practices extend the service life of this load wheel?
A: Monitor tread wear and bearing condition regularly. Keep the wheel bore clean and free from debris. Store wheels in a dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, or corrosive chemicals to preserve the polyurethane compound.
Q: Is the RA 631-051-XL suitable for outdoor use?
A: The RA 631-051-XL is optimized for indoor warehouse and dock operations. While polyurethane wheels offer some weather resistance, extended outdoor exposure may accelerate tread degradation. Consult Raymond equipment manuals for outdoor storage recommendations.
