Caterpillar Electric Lift Truck Load Wheel Assembly

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the CT 972004-A load wheel assembly include?
A: The CT 972004-A is a complete load wheel assembly that features 95A durometer polyurethane tread and precision bearings. This assembly is designed as a direct replacement for load wheel positions on Caterpillar electric lift trucks.

Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the CT 972004-A?
A: Known cross-reference and equivalent part numbers include CT0972004-SMH, CT972004, and CT 972004. If your equipment references a different part number, contact us to confirm fit and compatibility before ordering.

Q: Is the CT 972004-A different from the CT 972004?
A: CT 972004-A includes precision bearings as part of the complete assembly, whereas CT 972004 is a base load wheel. The -A suffix indicates it is configured as a complete replacement assembly. Verify your equipment specifications to determine which version you need.

Q: Which Caterpillar models use the CT 972004-A wheel?
A: The CT 972004-A is compatible with Caterpillar electric pallet jack models that specify this part number. Confirm your exact equipment model and serial range against manufacturer documentation before ordering. Contact us if you need model-specific compatibility verification.

Q: How do the precision bearings in the CT 972004-A affect wheel performance?
A: Precision bearings provide smooth rotation, reduce rolling resistance, and enhance load capacity. This design minimizes vibration and extends wheel life under frequent cycling and sustained load conditions typical of material handling operations.

Q: What is the polyurethane durometer rating and why does it matter?
A: The 95A durometer rating indicates medium-hardness polyurethane, balancing load capacity with traction. This rating is suitable for indoor electric pallet jack applications and provides good wear resistance and floor protection.
