Polyurethane Wheel for Electric Lift Truck

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 1205643-01 and what equipment does it fit?
A: The 1205643-01 is a high-performance polyurethane load wheel engineered for electric lift trucks and electric pallet jacks. The wheel features a 95A durometer polyurethane tread bonded to a ductile iron wheel center (QT450 x 10). This wheel is compatible with electric material handling equipment from major manufacturers. Verify your lift truck model year and wheel bore diameter before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Q: What are the material specifications for the 1205643-01?
A: The 1205643-01 combines high-resilience polyurethane at 95A durometer hardness for the tread, providing non-slip and non-gumming performance. The wheel center is ductile iron (specification QT450 x 10), which offers superior impact resistance and load distribution. This combination is engineered for cold storage environments and high-wear applications.

Q: Is the 1205643-01 suitable for cold storage and freezer applications?
A: Yes. The 1205643-01 is specifically designed for cold storage and freezer environments. The 95A durometer polyurethane tread maintains traction and flexibility at sub-zero temperatures without becoming brittle or gumming. The ductile iron wheel center resists temperature-induced cracking. This wheel is rated for sustained operation to -40°C.

Q: How long does the 1205643-01 polyurethane wheel last in typical service?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on load weight, duty cycle intensity, and floor surface. Under normal electric lift truck operation with typical warehouse flooring, the 1205643-01 typically delivers 2-4 years of service. High-intensity operations (full-capacity loads, extended shifts) or abrasive flooring may reduce lifespan to 12-18 months. Cold storage environments may extend lifespan because lower temperatures reduce polyurethane degradation.

Q: What bearing type is compatible with the 1205643-01?
A: The 1205643-01 is designed for compatibility with sealed precision bearings. These bearings provide low rolling resistance and require minimal maintenance. When replacing this wheel, verify that your lift truck axle bore diameter and bearing bore on the wheel center match your equipment specification.

Q: Are there cross-reference or equivalent part numbers for the 1205643-01?
A: Cross-reference information for the 1205643-01 is available for multiple equipment manufacturers. Contact us directly with your lift truck model, serial number, and current wheel part number for specific equivalent references and to confirm dimensional compatibility.
