Poly Load Wheel Assembly 70D
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the YL 220170653 and what equipment does it fit?
A: The YL 220170653 is a poly load wheel assembly rated at 70D durometer. This wheel assembly fits Yale electric lift trucks and pallet jacks across multiple model lines. Verify your equipment model and wheel mounting specifications before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What are the material properties and durability characteristics of this load wheel?
A: This assembly features a polyurethane wheel with 70D durometer rating, which provides good load capacity and wear resistance for general material handling applications. The 70D compound balances durability and grip for indoor warehouse and dock environments.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the YL 220170653 load wheel assembly?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on usage intensity and floor conditions. Typical service life ranges from 2 to 4 years in moderate-use environments. High-traffic warehouses may see shorter lifespan; light-duty applications may extend it. Inspect wheels quarterly for flat spots, cracks, or excessive wear.
Q: Are there alternative or cross-reference part numbers for this load wheel?
A: Cross-reference compatibility depends on your specific Yale model and generation. Other Yale models may use different wheel assemblies; verify the exact part number from your equipment documentation or contact us with your model number for confirmed equivalents.
Q: What maintenance does the YL 220170653 require?
A: Inspect wheels regularly for debris, cracks, flat spots, or uneven wear. Clean wheels and axles to remove dirt buildup. Ensure wheel bearings rotate freely. Replace when wheel diameter decreases noticeably or tread surface becomes uneven, as this affects truck handling and stability.
Q: What happens if I use a wheel with a different durometer rating than the original?
A: Using a non-matching durometer can affect load capacity, handling, and floor compatibility. Softer compounds (lower durometer) may grip better but wear faster; harder compounds last longer but may reduce traction. Always replace with the OEM-specified rating for your Yale model.
