Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the durometer rating and material composition of the 27808?
A: The 27808 features a polyurethane compound with a 95A durometer rating. This is a non-marking formulation designed for medium-duty electric forklift applications. The durometer rating indicates moderate hardness, suitable for reduced rolling resistance and minimal heat buildup in warehouse environments.
Q: Which equipment is the 27808 load wheel assembly compatible with?
A: The 27808 is designed for Raymond RSS series walkie straddle trucks, including RSS 22, RSS 30, and RSS 40 models. It is engineered for electric forklift and straddle truck applications. Verify compatibility against application guide 304583-000 before ordering.
Q: What does non-marking polyurethane mean for warehouse floor conditions?
A: Non-marking polyurethane means the wheel does not leave visible residue or discoloration on clean warehouse floors, painted surfaces, or finished concrete. This is essential for food, pharmaceutical, and clean-room material handling environments where floor cleanliness is critical.
Q: What is the mounting configuration for the 27808?
A: The 27808 features a steel ring base designed for press-on wheel mounting. This configuration provides secure attachment to the axle and distributes load evenly across the mounting surface.
Q: Are variant configurations available for the 27808?
A: Yes. The standard configuration is 27808-00. An alternate configuration, 27808-00-SG, is available with integrated string guards for applications requiring additional load containment or safety features.
Q: How should the 27808 load wheel be stored to maintain performance?
A: Store the load wheel assembly in a dry, climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid prolonged storage in high-humidity conditions, which may degrade the polyurethane compound over time. Inspect periodically for cracks or deformation before installation.
Q: What is the expected service life of a polyurethane load wheel assembly?
A: Service life depends on operating conditions, load intensity, floor surface type, and maintenance. Medium-duty polyurethane wheels typically provide 2-4 years of reliable service in standard warehouse environments with regular operational cleaning. Heavy use or harsh conditions may reduce service life; inspect wheels quarterly for wear.
