Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the material and hardness specifications of the CT 971786-A wheel tread?
A: The CT 971786-A features polyurethane tread with a Shore A 95 durometer hardness rating. This high-durometer formulation provides superior wear resistance and load-carrying capacity for demanding warehouse and production environments.
Q: What equipment models does the CT 971786-A fit?
A: The CT 971786-A is compatible with select Caterpillar and Towmotor electric lift truck models. It is an OEM-equivalent replacement for Caterpillar applications. Confirm your lift truck model and serial range before ordering.
Q: What bearing design does the CT 971786-A use?
A: The CT 971786-A includes a sealed ball bearing design. Sealed bearings protect against dust, moisture, and debris, reducing maintenance intervals and extending wheel and bearing service life.
Q: What are the cross-reference and equivalent part numbers for the CT 971786-A?
A: The CT 971786-A is equivalent to CT971786 and supersedes CT971786-SUP. These part numbers can be used interchangeably when ordering replacements or checking inventory across different part management systems.
Q: Why would a technician choose the CT 971786-A instead of a standard durometer wheel?
A: The CT 971786-A hard polyurethane formulation (Shore A 95) resists abrasion and punctures better than softer compounds. Choose this wheel for high-mileage operations, rough floor surfaces, or applications where extended wheel life and reduced downtime are priorities.
