Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AC 21038-00 poly load wheel?
A: The AC 21038-00 is a polyurethane load wheel assembly designed for Allis Chalmers electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. It features a non-marking polyurethane tread bonded to a steel hub with 95A Shore hardness for durability and floor protection.
Q: What equipment is the AC 21038-00 compatible with?
A: The AC 21038-00 is OEM fitment for Allis Chalmers electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. This wheel does not have documented cross-reference part numbers for other manufacturers. Verify wheel bore, width, and hub dimensions match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What does the 95A Shore hardness rating mean for the AC 21038-00?
A: 95A Shore hardness indicates the polyurethane tread is durable and resistant to abrasion in general warehouse and material handling applications. This hardness balances wear resistance with enough grip to prevent slipping on dry floors. Softer compounds perform better on wet or cold storage floors.
Q: Is the AC 21038-00 non-marking?
A: Yes, the AC 21038-00 features a non-marking polyurethane tread. Non-marking wheels do not leave black residue or scuff marks on light-colored or finished floors, making them suitable for retail, pharmaceutical, and food production environments.
Q: What is the lifespan of the AC 21038-00 load wheel?
A: Polyurethane load wheel life depends on usage, load, floor surface, and operating environment. Wheels typically last 1 to 3 years in high-volume warehouse operations. Inspect for flat spots, tread loss, hub damage, or bearing play. Replace when tread depth reduces below 1/8 inch or when the wheel no longer rolls smoothly.
Q: Can the AC 21038-00 be used in cold storage?
A: The 95A Shore hardness polyurethane on the AC 21038-00 is designed for general warehouse applications. For cold storage or freezer environments, lower hardness compounds provide better traction at freezing temperatures. Consult specifications for cold-storage-rated alternatives if your equipment operates below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
