Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is the 971736 polyurethane wheel compatible with?
A: The 971736 is designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Hyster. Verify wheel hub bore size and load rating matches your equipment before ordering.
Q: What are the dimensions of the 971736 wheel?
A:
Q: What does the 95A durometer rating mean?
A: The 95A durometer indicates medium-hard polyurethane tread that balances load capacity with floor protection. This hardness provides excellent wear resistance for heavy-duty applications while maintaining adequate grip and reducing shock transmission during operation.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 971736?
A: Expected lifespan is 2000 to 4000 operating hours depending on load weight, floor surface type, and operating environment. Inspect tread regularly for wear, flat spots, or chunks missing. Replace when tread depth becomes insufficient for safe operation.
Q: What maintenance does the 971736 require?
A: The sealed bearing assembly requires no lubrication. Periodically inspect bearing rotation for grinding noise or resistance. Clean debris from tread grooves to maintain grip. Replace wheels as a set to maintain even load distribution and prevent steering issues.
Q: Is the 971736 suitable for cold storage or wet floor applications?
A: The 971736 is a general-purpose polyurethane wheel suitable for standard warehouse and manufacturing environments. For specialized wet floor or cold storage applications, consult our specialists about alternative tread compounds designed for those specific conditions.
