Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is this polyurethane wheel designed for?
A: This wheel is engineered for electric forklifts, electric pallet jacks, and similar electric material-handling equipment. The 95D durometer polyurethane compound provides the durability required for warehouse and industrial environments. Verify mounting specifications match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What does the 95D durometer rating mean?
A: Durometer measures polyurethane hardness on a scale from 0 to 100D, with higher numbers indicating greater hardness. At 95D, this wheel offers a balance of hardness and resilience suitable for high-load warehouse applications while maintaining good floor contact and traction.
Q: Is this a non-marking wheel?
A: Yes. This polyurethane wheel is formulated as non-marking, meaning it will not leave black scuff marks on polished, painted, or light-colored floors. This makes it ideal for clean warehouse, production facility, and light manufacturing environments.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this wheel?
A: Lifespan depends on load weight, floor surface, and usage frequency. Under typical warehouse conditions with normal loads, a 95D polyurethane wheel generally lasts 12 to 24 months before significant wear occurs. Regularly inspect wheels for flat spots, cracks, or tread wear to determine replacement timing.
Q: What are the core specifications?
A: The core is precision-machined steel that provides structural support and load distribution. It is designed to withstand repeated shock loads and heavy use in industrial settings.
Q: Can this wheel be used in cold storage or wet environments?
A: This standard 95D polyurethane formulation is optimized for clean, dry warehouse and industrial environments. For use in cold storage (below 40°F) or wet floor applications, consult the manufacturer about alternative polyurethane compounds designed for those specific conditions, which may have different part designations.
