PM 21038-00

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the PM 21038-00 load wheel?
A: The PM 21038-00 is a polyurethane load wheel assembly featuring a 95A Shore durometer tread for hardness and abrasion resistance, mounted on a machined steel core. The 95A Shore rating provides durability in standard warehouse and light outdoor conditions.

Q: Which electric lift truck models are compatible with the PM 21038-00 load wheel?
A: The PM 21038-00 load wheel is designed for electric pallet jacks and walkie-type lift trucks that use compatible wheel mounting systems. Verify wheel diameter, bore size, and load rating match your equipment specifications before ordering.

Q: What is the difference between the polyurethane tread material and rubber alternatives?
A: The 95A Shore polyurethane tread offers superior abrasion resistance, consistent hardness, and reliable performance in dry warehouse environments. It resists degradation from oils and chemicals better than some rubber compounds.

Q: How long does the PM 21038-00 load wheel typically last?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on operating hours, load weight, and floor conditions. Wheels with visible flat spots, cracking, or reduced diameter should be replaced. Regular inspection helps catch wear before it affects truck performance or safety.

Q: What does machined steel core mean?
A: The machined steel core is precisely fabricated from steel stock to ensure accurate bore and diameter tolerances. This machining process produces consistent wheel geometry and balanced performance under load.
