Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 1201773-A?
A: The CT 1201773-A is a complete load wheel assembly featuring a polyurethane tread with a precision steel core, designed for Caterpillar electric lift trucks. It provides durable, long-lasting performance in material handling applications.
Q: What is the tread hardness of the CT 1201773-A?
A: The tread hardness is rated at per ASTM D2240 Shore A standard. This hardness specification ensures consistent abrasion resistance and load-bearing capability across Caterpillar lift equipment.
Q: Is the CT 1201773-A a direct replacement wheel?
A: Yes, the CT 1201773-A is a direct replacement for compatible Caterpillar lift trucks. Always verify wheel bore diameter and match your equipment specifications before purchase.
Q: What materials are used in the CT 1201773-A?
A: The assembly combines polyurethane tread bonded to a precision steel core. This construction provides structural rigidity, superior load distribution, and enhanced durability for heavy-duty material handling.
Q: Can the CT 1201773-A be used on non-Caterpillar lift trucks?
A: The CT 1201773-A is engineered specifically for Caterpillar lift trucks. Compatibility with other brands (Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster) cannot be assumed. Cross-brand compatibility requires verification of wheel bore and mounting specifications with your equipment documentation.
Q: How should I store the CT 1201773-A when not in use?
A: Store the wheel in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Extended UV exposure can degrade polyurethane tread material. Keep away from oils, solvents, and harsh chemicals.
Q: What is the difference between CT 1201773 and CT 1201773-A?
A: Both parts use polyurethane tread material and fit Caterpillar electric lift trucks. The CT 1201773-A designation indicates this is the complete wheel assembly with precision steel core, whereas CT 1201773 refers to the wheel only. They are cross-compatible replacements for the same equipment.
Q: What core material is used in the CT 1201773-A assembly?
A: The CT 1201773-A features a precision steel core. This provides structural rigidity and load distribution for heavy-duty material handling applications while maintaining the 95A Shore A polyurethane tread hardness.
Q: Does the CT 1201773-A meet ASTM durometer standards?
A: Yes. The CT 1201773-A is specified at per ASTM D2240 Shore A hardness standard, ensuring consistent material performance and compatibility across Caterpillar equipment platforms.
Q: Can I use CT 1201773-A on other material handling brands besides Caterpillar?
A: The CT 1201773-A is engineered specifically for Caterpillar lift trucks. Cross-compatibility with other brands such as Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or Yale cannot be assumed without matching wheel bore, diameter, and mounting specifications. Verify fitment with your equipment documentation.
