Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 9988-038S polyurethane wheel?
A: The 9988-038S is an industrial-grade polyurethane load wheel designed for electric lift trucks and pallet handling equipment. It features a solid aluminum core with 95 Shore A polyurethane tread, precision sealed ball bearings, and a bore for direct replacement applications.
Q: What are the dimensions of the 9988-038S?
A: The wheel has standard dimensions for many electric lift truck load wheels. Verify your equipment specifications match before ordering.
Q: Is the 9988-038S interchangeable with part number A-28842-647?
A: Yes, the 9988-038S is equivalent to Fast Lift Parts A-28842-647. Both are 95A poly load wheels with identical specifications. Confirm your equipment serial range is compatible before substituting parts.
Q: What makes the solid aluminum core construction beneficial?
A: The solid aluminum core is mechanically and chemically bonded to the polyurethane tread, preventing tread separation and improving durability under heavy continuous loads. This construction method extends wheel lifespan and maintains performance under warehouse operating conditions.
Q: What is the durability of the 95 Shore A polyurethane tread?
A: Industrial-grade liquid-cast polyurethane with 95 Shore A hardness resists abrasion, punctures, and deformation during continuous operation. The material maintains traction on dry and slightly damp floors. Replace the wheel when tread wears flat or visible cracks develop.
Q: What maintenance do the sealed ball bearings require?
A: Sealed ball bearings are maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. The protective seals prevent contamination and moisture ingress. If the wheel develops noise or rotation resistance, bearing wear is indicated and replacement is recommended.
Q: How should the 9988-038S wheel be stored when not in use?
A: Store the wheel indoors in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect the polyurethane tread from oils, solvents, and harsh chemicals during storage. Keep the bore and bearings free from dust and debris.
