Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and load capacity of the C33735 polyurethane wheel?
A: The C33735 features a core is QT450 cast iron with steel components meeting GB/T-20 specification. Confirm these dimensions and load rating match your electric lift truck application before ordering.
Q: Which electric lift truck models are compatible with the C33735?
A: The C33735 is a direct replacement part for electric lift truck applications. It is compatible with Crown, Jungheinrich, Linde, BT, and Mitsubishi electric forklifts. Cross-reference your specific equipment model and serial number to confirm compatibility with C33735 specifications.
Q: What is the polyurethane hardness and why is it specified?
A: The C33735 polyurethane has a nominal hardness of 87 to 98 Shore A. This hardness range provides wear resistance, load-bearing capacity, and reduced rolling resistance for electric lift truck efficiency. Shore A hardness is the industry standard for material handling wheels and directly affects traction and tire wear rates.
Q: Is the C33735 suitable for low-temperature or cold storage environments?
A: Yes. The C33735 is resistant to low-temperature environments and does not gum or degrade in cold storage conditions. Polyurethane maintains flexibility and traction at sub-zero temperatures better than nylon, making it suitable for frozen food warehouses and cold storage applications.
Q: What does the sand-blasted finish on the C33735 mean and how should I handle it?
A: The C33735 tread surface is sand-blasted, cleaned, and dried before shipment. This finish removes mold release agents and contaminants, ensuring optimal bonding between the polyurethane tread and the cast iron core. Do not wash or alter the tread surface after receiving the wheel to maintain this protective preparation.
Q: How long does the C33735 wheel typically last in electric lift truck service?
A: Expected lifespan is 3 to 5 years in regular electric lift truck warehouse use. Polyurethane wheels wear faster at higher speeds or under continuous heavy loading. Periodically inspect for flat spots, surface cracking, or loss of tread grip. Lifespan extends in indoor-only, climate-controlled environments versus outdoor or mixed-use operations.
