Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and bore specifications for the 15-201 wheel?
A: The 15-201 is a 4x2 7/8 inch polyurethane wheel with a 2.047 inch bore diameter. These dimensions are standard for electric lift truck load wheels. Verify bore size and wheel width match your equipment axle configuration before ordering.
Q: What polyurethane compound is used in the 15-201 wheel?
A: The 15-201 features a polyurethane tread material engineered for lift truck wheel applications. Polyurethane wheels provide low rolling resistance, floor protection, and good grip on standard warehouse floors. Material hardness and elasticity support load wheels on electric forklifts and pallet jacks.
Q: Which lift truck types use the 15-201 wheel?
A: The 15-201 is compatible with electric lift trucks using the 4x2 7/8 inch wheel standard. Common applications include electric counterbalanced forklifts, walkie stackers, and sit-down reach trucks. Consult your equipment documentation to confirm wheel diameter and bore size match.
Q: How does the polyurethane construction affect floor safety?
A: Polyurethane wheels minimize floor damage compared to metal or hard rubber alternatives. The 15-201 tread protects concrete and sealed floors in food processing facilities, cleanrooms, and sensitive storage areas while providing adequate grip for load stability on slightly sloped or wet surfaces.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the 15-201 wheel?
A: Polyurethane load wheels typically last 2-4 years depending on daily operating hours and load cycles. The 15-201 will show tread wear flattening and loss of elasticity over time. Replace when tread hardness increases noticeably or when wheel diameter reduction exceeds 1/4 inch, as this affects load distribution and steering.
Q: Does the 15-201 require maintenance?
A: Periodically inspect the wheel bore for debris and axle play. Clean polyurethane tread of oils and floor contaminants to maintain grip. Check bearing condition separately. The polyurethane material itself does not require lubrication, but monitor for cracks or uneven wear patterns, which indicate misalignment or overload conditions.
