Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the 550069217 load wheel?
A: The 550069217 is a polyurethane load wheel with high-rebound XL-grade tread at 97A durometer bonded to a precision-machined cast iron core. Dimensions are 3.25 inches diameter by 4.5 inches width. It is designed for heavy-duty electric pallet truck service and is compatible with 6205 bearing assemblies.
Q: What equipment brands and models use the 550069217?
A: The 550069217 is a Yale part designed for Yale electric walkie pallet jacks including models MPB045VH, MPW060E, MPW065E, and MPW080E. Cross-compatibility with other brands depends on matching bearing size, shaft diameter, and mounting configuration. Verify compatibility with your specific equipment before ordering.
Q: Why is the 97A durometer and XL-grade specification important?
A: The 97A durometer indicates a hard, durable polyurethane compound resistant to cutting, abrasion, and deformation under heavy loads. XL-grade is premium polyurethane formulated for extended service life in continuous-use, high-cycle material handling environments. This specification ensures superior performance on concrete and warehouse floors.
Q: Is the 550069217 suitable for cold storage or wet floor operations?
A: The XL-grade polyurethane performs well in cold storage environments below 32°F. However, it is not specifically formulated for persistent wet-floor applications. For wet floors, consult regarding high-traction wheel variants if enhanced grip on wet surfaces is required.
Q: What bearing assembly is required with the 550069217?
A: The 550069217 is compatible with 6205 bearing assemblies, which are standard deep-groove ball bearings. Ensure the bearing is installed with correct preload and sealing to prevent contamination and premature failure. Do not reuse old or worn bearings when replacing the wheel.
Q: Are there cross-reference or supersession part numbers for the 550069217?
A: No supersession or cross-reference part numbers are available for the 550069217. This is the current Yale part number. Do not assume compatibility with wheels from other brands or earlier Yale models without verifying dimensions and bearing specifications match exactly.
