Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the L009157 load wheel?
A: The L009157 is a polyurethane load wheel designed for electric lift truck applications. It features sealed precision bearings and a cast iron or forged steel core.
Q: What equipment does the L009157 fit?
A: The L009157 is designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Always verify compatibility by confirming your equipment accepts the wheel before ordering.
Q: Is the L009157 non-marking?
A: Yes, the L009157 features a chemically bonded non-marking tread, making it ideal for use on finished flooring, clean room environments, and polished concrete surfaces without leaving marks or residue.
Q: Why is the L009157 suitable for cold storage and freezer applications?
A: The L009157 is manufactured from high resilience polyurethane with Shore A 95 hardness, which resists the hardening and cracking that can occur in standard polyurethane at low temperatures. This material maintains durability and load capacity in extreme cold environments.
Q: What maintenance does the L009157 require?
A: The L009157 contains sealed precision bearings requiring no routine lubrication. Periodically inspect the wheel for visible wear, damage, or flat spots. Clean the tread surface regularly to maintain optimal traction. Replace the wheel when tread depth is significantly worn or if the core shows damage.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the L009157?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on operating conditions, frequency of use, load weight, and floor surface type. In typical electric lift truck applications, the L009157 generally lasts 12 to 24 months before replacement is needed. Cold storage environments may extend lifespan due to reduced material stress.
Q: What material composition makes the L009157 durable?
A: The L009157 combines Bayer or Mitsubishi high resilience polyurethane (Shore A 95 hardness) for the tread with a cast iron or forged steel core. This construction provides excellent load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and stability in demanding lift truck operations.
