993-470

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the core specifications for the 993-470 polyurethane wheel?
A: The 993-470 is a press-on industrial wheel featuring high durometer polyurethane tread chemically bonded to a steel core with a minimum 3/8 inch ring thickness. The tread material is industrial-grade polyurethane designed for abrasion resistance and minimal flex in clean indoor environments.

Q: Which electric lift truck brands does the 993-470 fit?
A: This load wheel is compatible with electric forklift drive and load applications across multiple OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Verify dimensions match your specific equipment model before ordering.

Q: Why is the polyurethane tread bonded to steel rather than cast?
A: The chemical bond between polyurethane and steel provides superior durability, flexibility under load, and resistance to abrasion compared to cast wheels. This construction also delivers non-marking performance critical for clean warehouse and manufacturing floors.

Q: How long does a 993-470 wheel typically last in regular use?
A: Lifespan depends on load weight, floor surface, and operating hours. In typical indoor electric forklift service, a quality polyurethane wheel lasts 2-4 years before tread wear requires replacement. Inspect regularly for edge damage or tread separation.

Q: Is there a cross-reference part number for the 993-470?
A: SKU 993-470 is the direct manufacturer part number. If you need equivalent wheels for a specific brand or model, contact our parts team with your equipment details for compatibility verification and alternatives.
