Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the CT 972008-A load wheel?
A: The CT 972008-A features a 3.25 inch diameter polyurethane tread, 3.0 inch width, and a 20 mm precision bearing bore. The steel hub is molded with the polyurethane tread. These specifications are critical for direct fit on CAT pallet trucks.
Q: What parts does CT 972008-A replace?
A: The CT 972008-A is a direct replacement for part numbers CT972008, CT972008-XL, and A000028162. Cross-reference variations include CT 972008-XL and CT972008-XL. Always verify your existing part number matches one of these before ordering.
Q: What material specifications does the CT 972008-A use?
A: The CT 972008-A tread is manufactured from high-wear polyurethane formula, and the core is steel. This combination supports high load capacity and frequent cycling in Caterpillar electric pallet truck applications while resisting abrasion and deformation.
Q: Is the 20 mm bearing bore standard across Caterpillar load wheels?
A: The 20 mm precision bearing bore on the CT 972008-A is specific to this assembly design. Do not assume bore size across different Caterpillar models or part numbers. Confirm your shaft diameter and bearing bore specifications against the OEM documentation for your equipment.
Q: What is the durometer hardness of the CT 972008-A polyurethane?
A: The CT 972008-A polyurethane tread is specified at 95 Shore A hardness. This durometer provides a balance between traction, wear resistance, and rolling resistance for material handling operations on typical warehouse and facility floors.
Q: How do I confirm CT 972008-A is compatible with my Caterpillar pallet truck?
A: Verify the OEM part number on your current wheel against the CT 972008-A cross-reference list (CT972008, CT972008-XL, A000028162). Confirm the load wheel bore, diameter, and width match your equipment specifications. Contact us with your equipment model and serial number for compatibility confirmation.
