Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key specifications of the 972010?
A: It uses a steel core chemically bonded to non-marking polyurethane compound 201 with Shore 83A hardness.
Q: Is this wheel suitable for wet and cold environments?
A: Yes. The Shore 83A polyurethane compound is designed for dock boards, debris-prone areas, wet floors, and cold storage environments. The softer compound provides superior traction and flexibility in these conditions.
Q: What equipment is the 972010 compatible with?
A: The 972010 is designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. It is a direct replacement load wheel compatible with major lift truck manufacturers including Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster equipment.
Q: How does the chemical bond between the steel core and polyurethane work?
A: The steel core is chemically bonded to the polyurethane material, creating a permanent molecular connection. This prevents separation during heavy loads or shock impacts, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
Q: What is the difference between Shore 83A and harder wheel compounds?
A: Shore 83A is a softer compound than standard 95A wheels. The lower hardness provides better grip, flexibility, and shock absorption on challenging floor surfaces while maintaining durability in general warehouse use.
Q: Do I need to verify bearing compatibility before ordering?
A: Confirm your equipment's hub configuration, bearing size, and bore specifications before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
Q: Can this wheel be used on manual pallet jacks?
A: The 972010 is primarily designed for electric lift trucks and powered pallet jacks. For manual pallet jack applications, verify compatibility with your specific equipment model before ordering.
