Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the 083179-040 polyurethane load wheel?
A: The 083179-040 features a 4.00 inch outside diameter, 2.50 inch tread width, and 2.047 inch inside diameter. It has a 99A Shore A hardness rating and is constructed as cast polyurethane on a steel or iron core, designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks.
Q: Which bearing part numbers are compatible with the 083179-040 wheel?
A: The 083179-040 accepts either 6205 or 8505 bearing part numbers. Verify your existing bearing size before ordering to ensure proper fitment and performance.
Q: What equipment brands does the 083179-040 fit?
A: The 083179-040 is compatible with Crown electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. It is an equivalent to Falcon Hyload 083179 and replaces older Crown versions including 083179-201 and 083179-402-88. Verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between 083179-040, 083179-201, and 083179-402-88?
A: The 083179-040 is the current production version. The 083179-201 and 083179-402-88 are superseded versions with the same 4.00 inch outer diameter and 2.50 inch tread width. The 083179-040 should be used for replacements on Crown equipment.
Q: Why would I choose a 99A durometer wheel like the 083179-040?
A: The 99A Shore A hardness provides excellent load-bearing capability and reduced deformation under heavy loads typical of electric lift truck and pallet jack applications. This durometer rating offers a balance between durability and floor contact for standard warehouse conditions.
Q: How long does the 083179-040 polyurethane wheel typically last?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on usage intensity, floor conditions, and load weights. Monitor for visible wear, flat spots, or reduced wheel diameter. Replace when the tread becomes thin or if the wheel develops excessive runout or vibration.
