Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions and bore specifications for the RA 640-070-XL load wheel?
A: The RA 640-070-XL has a 5.00 inch outside diameter, 3.25 inch width, and 2.047 inch bore. It features a steel core with machined finish and 97A durometer polyurethane compound. These dimensions fit Raymond electric lift truck drive wheels and similar OEM applications with matching bore specifications.
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 similar industrial material-handling equipment with matching bore and width requirements. Verify the 5.00 inch diameter, 3.25 inch width, and 2.047 inch bore match your equipment specifications before ordering, as wheel fitment depends on exact dimensions rather than model designation alone.
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. Replace when wear reduces diameter or stability.
Q: Can the RA 640-070-XL cross-reference to other aftermarket or OEM load wheels?
A: The RA 640-070-XL is an OEM Raymond part number. When cross-referencing, match the exact outside diameter (5.00 inch), width (3.25 inch), and bore (2.047 inch). 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.
