Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is the 505596501 load wheel assembly designed for?
A: The 505596501 is a load wheel assembly designed for Yale MPE 060 and MPE 080 electric pallet trucks. Verify your truck model and serial number match the MPE designation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What material and hardness specifications does this load wheel have?
A: This assembly uses polyurethane material with 92A Shore hardness. This durometer rating provides balanced load-bearing capacity and floor traction suitable for typical warehouse and material handling environments.
Q: What are the part number references for this load wheel?
A: The primary manufacturer part number is 505596501, also referenced as YT505596501. Use either designation when cross-referencing with Yale documentation or inventory systems.
Q: What does the XL designation mean on this load wheel?
A: The XL suffix indicates an oversized or extended load wheel assembly compared to standard variants. Verify your truck undercarriage before ordering to avoid fitment issues.
Q: How long does a 92A Shore hardness polyurethane load wheel typically last?
A: Polyurethane wheels at 92A Shore hardness typically provide 12 to 24 months of service under normal warehouse duty, depending on floor conditions, load weight, and operating hours. Harder polyurethane compounds resist floor abrasion but may reduce shock absorption in high-impact environments.
Q: How should this load wheel be maintained?
A: Periodically inspect the wheel for wear, cracks, or flat spots. Clean debris from wheel grooves and bearing surfaces. Monitor floor contact for uneven wear patterns which may indicate axle misalignment. Store wheels in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent polyurethane degradation.
