Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the 083970-050 polyurethane load wheel?
A: The 083970-050 load wheel has an outside diameter of 3.25 inches, tread width of 4.5 inches, and bore diameter of 2.44 inches. It is constructed with a cast iron core and high-resilience 95A polyurethane tread. These specifications make it compatible with Crown electric pallet trucks and lift trucks requiring this exact wheel size.
Q: What does 95A polyurethane compound offer compared to 93A hardness wheels?
A: The 95A Shore hardness polyurethane in the 083970-050 is slightly harder and more resilient than 93A compound. This provides enhanced durability and extended tread life, particularly in challenging floor conditions with debris or rough surfaces. The 95A compound also offers superior performance in cold storage environments and maintains traction on cooler floors where softer compounds may become stiff.
Q: Is the 083970-050 suitable for cold storage and wet floor applications?
A: Yes. The 083970-050 is specifically designed for operation in cold storage and challenging floor environments. The high-resilience 95A polyurethane compound maintains grip and flexibility even in frozen spaces and on wet or damp surfaces. However, for extremely slippery floors, additional traction compounds may still be beneficial depending on specific floor conditions.
Q: What is the load capacity of the 083970-050 wheel and what applications is it rated for?
A: The 083970-050 is a load wheel rated for electric pallet truck and electric lift truck applications with Crown-compatible equipment. The cast iron core provides strength for demanding warehouse operations. Actual load capacity depends on equipment configuration and total wheel count. Consult your Crown equipment documentation for total rated load capacity.
Q: What is the typical service life of the 083970-050 polyurethane wheel in regular use?
A: In standard warehouse conditions with moderate use, expect 18 to 36 months of service life. Cold storage use may extend lifespan due to reduced tread wear. High-volume daily use or exposure to sharp debris and rough floors will shorten service life. Inspect wheels regularly for tread wear, flat spotting, or damage to the polyurethane compound.
Q: What is the cross-reference information for the 083970-050?
A: The 083970-050 OEM part number is Crown 083970-050. Cross-reference part numbers include 083970050, CR083970-050, and CR083970050. These references identify the same wheel across different ordering systems and documentation. Verify bore diameter and tread width match your equipment before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
