Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a press-on tire and how does it differ from a pneumatic tire?
A: A press-on tire is a solid polyurethane tire mechanically compressed onto a metal core. Unlike pneumatic (air-filled) tires, press-on tires cannot flatten, puncture, or lose pressure. The CL 2778705 is designed for indoor electric lift trucks where maintenance-free, puncture-proof performance is required.
Q: Is the CL 2778705 compatible with other manufacturers besides Clark?
A: The CL 2778705 is an OEM Clark part. While cross-fit compatibility with Toyota, Crown, Raymond, or other brands may exist for similar tire dimensions, always verify core diameter, width, and press-on interface specifications before ordering. Different manufacturers use different core standards.
Q: What does Shore A 95 hardness provide for indoor material handling?
A: Shore A 95 polyurethane offers high load capacity and abrasion resistance on concrete warehouse floors. This hardness is optimized for heavy-duty, high-mileage indoor use. It provides firm ride characteristics and minimal deflection compared to softer compounds.
Q: What core material does this tire use and why does it matter?
A: The CL 2778705 uses either ductile iron or cast steel core. Ductile iron is more cost-effective and handles moderate loads; cast steel is heavier and suited for maximum load capacity. Core material affects durability and weight. Verify which core your equipment requires.
Q: Will the CL 2778705 work on wet floors?
A: Standard 95A polyurethane can lose grip on wet or slippery surfaces. If your facility has frequent wet-floor conditions or cold storage requirements, a specialized high-traction polyurethane formulation will provide better control and safety.
