Polyurethane Wheel

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 313179-003 polyurethane wheel designed for?
A: The 313179-003 is a polyurethane wheel engineered for electric lift truck load wheel and steer wheel applications. It provides traction and smooth material handling performance on warehouse floors and outdoor surfaces.

Q: Which electric lift truck brands are compatible with the 313179-003?
A: The 313179-003 polyurethane wheel fits multiple electric lift truck models from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, and BT. Verify the wheel bore diameter and hub configuration match your specific equipment before ordering.

Q: What are the material properties of the 313179-003 polyurethane wheel?
A: The 313179-003 features polyurethane compound construction that provides durability and load-bearing capability for electric lift truck operations. Polyurethane resists wear, provides good floor grip, minimizes floor marking, and handles repeated loading cycles typical of industrial material handling.

Q: How do I inspect the 313179-003 for wear?
A: Replace the 313179-003 when tread depth diminishes significantly, flat spots develop, or the wheel no longer maintains consistent traction. Worn wheels reduce steering control, increase equipment vibration, and accelerate wear on other components. Regular inspection identifies wear before operational problems occur.

Q: Can the 313179-003 polyurethane wheel be used on wet floors?
A: Standard polyurethane wheels like the 313179-003 provide good traction on most surfaces including light moisture conditions. For specialized high-traction requirements on wet or cold storage floors, verify the wheel compound specification matches your application. Contact us to confirm if a high-traction variant is appropriate for your facility conditions.

Q: How long does a polyurethane wheel typically last?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on load weight, floor conditions, equipment usage intensity, and maintenance practices. Regular inspection and cleaning extend wheel life. Replace when wear indicators appear, typically after 2-5 years of moderate to heavy use in standard warehouse operations.
