Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 8730461 and what equipment does it fit?
A: SKU 8730461 is a polyurethane wheel for electric lift trucks and forklifts. It is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Linde, and similar major electric forklift manufacturers. Confirm your truck model and wheel diameter before ordering.
Q: What material is the 8730461 wheel made from?
A: The 8730461 features a solid polyurethane tread sourced from Bayer or Mitsubishi. The wheel core is cast iron or carbon steel. Polyurethane provides durability, reduced rolling resistance, and enhanced resilience in industrial warehouse environments.
Q: What does high durometer polyurethane mean for the 8730461?
A: High durometer polyurethane is a harder, more wear-resistant compound that reduces rolling resistance and increases load-bearing capacity. It provides better performance and longer wheel life compared to softer compounds in heavy-use warehouse applications.
Q: Is the 8730461 wheel suitable for low temperature or cold storage use?
A: Yes. The 8730461 polyurethane wheel is engineered for low temperature and cold storage environments. Polyurethane maintains flexibility and traction in freezers and refrigerated warehouses where other wheel materials become brittle.
Q: How long does the 8730461 wheel typically last?
A: Polyurethane wheels typically last 2 to 4 years depending on truck usage, load weight, facility surface conditions, and storage temperature. Worn or flat-spotted wheels reduce operator control and should be replaced promptly.
Q: Can the 8730461 wheel be used on rough warehouse floors?
A: Yes. The high durometer tread on the 8730461 is designed for industrial warehouse floors including concrete, asphalt, and uneven surfaces. The polyurethane compound resists cuts and gouges better than softer wheel materials.
