Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions and bore specifications for the RA 640-070-XL load wheel?
A: It features a steel core with machined finish and 97A durometer polyurethane compound.
Q: Which Raymond electric lift truck models use the RA 640-070-XL load wheel?
A: The RA 640-070-XL is designed for Raymond electric lift trucks and industrial material-handling equipment with matching bore and width requirements. Verify the match your equipment specifications before ordering, as wheel fitment depends on exact dimensions.
Q: What does the 97A durometer rating mean for polyurethane load wheel performance?
A: The 97A durometer indicates the polyurethane hardness on the Shore A scale. A 97A compound is relatively hard and durable, providing good load-bearing capacity and resistance to abrasion on smooth warehouse floors and concrete surfaces. The XL series design delivers smooth, resilient performance for sustained industrial applications.
Q: How long does a polyurethane load wheel like the RA 640-070-XL typically last in service?
A: Polyurethane load wheel lifespan depends on load, floor surface, and usage frequency. High-durometer wheels like the 97A RA 640-070-XL resist wear longer than softer compounds and commonly last 1 to 3 years under normal warehouse conditions. Inspect wheels regularly for flat spots, cracks, or contamination.
Q: Can the RA 640-070-XL cross-reference to other aftermarket or load wheels?
A: Equivalent aftermarket wheels from Superior and other manufacturers may fit if dimensions align precisely. Always verify bore fit, as mismatched bores cause binding or wheel movement.
