Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the 8730487 polyurethane wheel fit?
A: This polyurethane wheel is designed for electric lift truck and pallet truck applications. It is compatible with electric forklifts, electric pallet jacks, and similar material-handling equipment from major OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Verify the wheel diameter and core dimensions match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What are the material specifications for SKU 8730487?
A: This wheel features a 95D durometer polyurethane compound bonded to a precision-machined 3/8 inch steel core. The 95D durometer indicates a moderately hard, durable polyurethane suitable for high-load applications. The steel core provides structural strength for heavy-duty warehouse and industrial use.
Q: Is this a non-marking wheel?
A: Yes. The 8730487 is a non-marking polyurethane wheel designed for clean floor environments such as warehouses, production facilities, and light manufacturing areas. Non-marking polyurethane does not leave black scuff marks on polished or light-colored floors.
Q: How long does a 95D polyurethane wheel typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on load weight, floor conditions, and usage frequency. In typical warehouse environments, a 95D durometer polyurethane wheel under normal loads will last 12 to 24 months before wear becomes noticeable. Inspect wheels regularly for flat spots, cracks, or severe tread wear as indicators of replacement need.
Q: What is the core thickness and construction of this wheel?
A: The core is 3/8 inch thick, precision-machined steel that provides load distribution and durability. This core thickness is standard for most electric lift truck wheels in the light to medium duty range and is designed to handle repeated shock loads in warehouse environments.
Q: Can this wheel be used in wet or cold storage environments?
A: The standard 95D polyurethane compound in SKU 8730487 is suited for clean, dry warehouse and industrial environments. For wet floors or cold storage below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, specify a high-traction polyurethane compound designed for those conditions, which may have a different SKU designation.
