Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment types does the PW-005 polyurethane wheel fit?
A: The PW-005 is a polyurethane wheel designed for electric lift trucks, including models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. It is compatible with both walkie and rider-operated electric pallet jacks and hand-truck assemblies. Confirm your equipment model and wheel bore specifications before ordering.
Q: What does the 95D durometer rating mean for the PW-005?
A: The 95D durometer (Shore D per ASTM D2240) indicates polyurethane hardness. A 95D rating provides high abrasion resistance and load-bearing capacity while maintaining traction on smooth floors. This hardness is engineered for high-duty industrial applications with extended wheel life and minimal tread wear.
Q: What is the load rating and service factor for the PW-005?
A: The PW-005 is rated for 1.15 continuous industrial duty service factor, meaning it is engineered to handle loads at 115 percent of standard industrial demand. Wheel life and performance depend on total truck load rating, floor conditions, and frequency of operation.
Q: What bearing type does the PW-005 use?
A: The PW-005 features precision ball bearings that are sealed to prevent contamination and reduce maintenance. These sealed bearings are suitable for general warehouse and light wet-floor environments without requiring regular re-lubrication.
Q: How does the polypropylene industrial-grade core affect wheel durability?
A: The industrial-grade polypropylene core provides impact resistance and lightweight properties while maintaining rigidity under load. This construction reduces vibration and floor marking compared to solid cores, making it ideal for facilities with sensitive flooring.
Q: How should the PW-005 be stored when not in use?
A: Store the wheel in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep sealed bearings in their original protective packaging until installation. Store in a temperature range of 50–85°F with relative humidity below 65% to preserve seal integrity and material properties.
