Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the CT 972008-A load wheel?
A: The CT 972008-A has a polyurethane tread and precision bearing bore. The steel hub is molded with the polyurethane tread to form a single integrated assembly.
Q: What parts does the CT 972008-A replace?
A: The CT 972008-A is a direct replacement for part numbers CT972008, CT972008-XL, and A000028162. Verify your existing part number matches one of these before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What are the material specifications?
A: The tread is manufactured from high-wear polyurethane formula, and the core is precision-machined steel. This combination supports high load capacity and frequent cycling in electric pallet truck applications while resisting abrasion and deformation.
Q: What is the tread hardness rating?
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 typical warehouse and facility floor operations.
Q: Is the 20 mm bearing bore standard across all Caterpillar load wheels?
A: The precision bearing bore on the CT 972008-A is specific to this assembly design. Verify your shaft diameter and bearing bore specifications match before ordering, and confirm against your equipment specifications.
Q: How do I confirm compatibility with my equipment?
A: Verify the part number on your current wheel against the CT 972008-A cross-reference list (CT972008, CT972008-XL, A000028162). Confirm the load wheel matches your equipment specifications. Contact our support team with your equipment model and serial number for compatibility confirmation.
