Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which electric lift truck brands is the 314X438 wheel compatible with?
A: The 314X438 wheel is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Always verify the wheel bore, hub type, and load rating match your equipment specifications before ordering.
Q: What makes the polyurethane compound on the 314X438 suitable for cold storage?
A: The 314X438 features Bayer and Mitsubishi-sourced polyurethane engineered for high-traction performance at temperatures down to -40°C. The tread maintains flexibility and grip on frozen floors while resisting gumming and hardening that occurs with inferior compounds.
Q: How does the bonding strength of the 314X438 tread affect durability?
A: The 314X438 undergoes a 35-ton destructive peel test to verify the polyurethane tread bonding to the cast iron or steel center. This extreme testing ensures the tread will not separate or delaminate even under high-load stress, extending wheel lifespan in demanding applications.
Q: What environmental and performance advantages does the 314X438 offer?
A: The 314X438 delivers high-durometer tread for abrasion resistance, non-gumming performance across temperature ranges, reliable operation on wet and cold-storage floors, and consistent load-carrying capacity. The sandblasted wheel-center preparation enhances tread bonding durability.
Q: Can the 314X438 be used in both standard warehouse and cold-storage environments?
A: Yes. The 314X438 is engineered for use in standard warehouse, wet-floor, and cold-storage conditions down to -40°C. The polyurethane composition maintains traction and structural integrity across this temperature range.
Q: What wheel-center materials are available with the 314X438?
A: The 314X438 is available with wheel centers fabricated from QT450 cast iron or GB/T-20 steel. Both materials provide excellent load-bearing capacity; choose based on your equipment specifications or operating-environment requirements.
