Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the 079494-342-01?
A: The 079494-342-01 is a Crown polyurethane load wheel with a size.
Q: What does a Shore A hardness of 90A indicate?
A: A Shore A hardness of 90A represents a moderately firm polyurethane compound that balances durability and grip. This hardness level is well-suited for general industrial material handling applications requiring both load capacity and reasonable floor traction across varying surface types.
Q: What are the benefits of polyurethane tires compared to rubber?
A: Polyurethane tires offer superior load-carrying capacity, extended tread life, and excellent resistance to oil, chemicals, and abrasion. They also minimize floor damage and perform reliably in warehouse and industrial environments with continuous use.
Q: Is the 079494-342-01 a press-on or pneumatic tire?
A: The 079494-342-01 is a press-on tire, meaning the polyurethane compound is bonded directly to a metal wheel core. This design provides a solid, maintenance-free wheel suitable for material handling equipment.
Q: What type of lift equipment is this tire designed for?
A: The 079494-342-01 polyurethane wheel is designed for use on material handling equipment including electric pallet jacks, manual pallet jacks, forklifts, and electric lift trucks. Verify compatibility with your specific equipment model before ordering.
Q: How does the 90A hardness compare to other Crown tire options?
A: The 90A hardness provides a mid-range option balancing tread wear resistance and traction. Crown manufactures polyurethane tires across a range of hardness levels; the 90A compound is versatile for applications requiring general-purpose performance without extreme wear or grip demands.
