Product Description
Polyurethane Load Wheel Assembly 97A XL
This heavy-duty load wheel assembly is engineered for electric pallet jacks, walkie trucks, and material handling equipment. The 97A polyurethane compound delivers excellent wear resistance, shock absorption, and floor grip for smooth operation on warehouse and dock floors. Extra-large (XL) diameter provides increased rolling surface area and load-bearing capacity ideal for high-cycle applications. Molded onto a durable steel or aluminum hub with precision ball bearings for reliable performance in demanding warehouse and logistics environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is the 146382 load wheel assembly compatible with?
A: The 146382 load wheel assembly fits Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric pallet jacks and walkie trucks. The 97A XL designation indicates a large-format wheel suitable for heavier-duty applications. Confirm the wheel mounting diameter and axle type match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What does the 97A XL designation mean for this load wheel?
A: The 97A refers to the polyurethane compound durometer (hardness). This size provides larger rolling surface area, higher load capacity, and improved shock absorption compared to standard wheels. XL wheels reduce ground surface pressure and improve ride quality on damaged or outdoor floors.
Q: What are the key dimensions and specifications of the 146382?
A: The 146382 is a load wheel assembly with polyurethane 97A compound molded onto a steel or aluminum hub. Load capacity depends on the specific axle configuration and bearing assembly. Measure your equipment wheel diameter and axle bore to confirm exact fit before ordering.
Q: What material is the 146382 load wheel made from?
A: The wheel rim is polyurethane 97A compound molded onto a steel or aluminum hub. The 97A polyurethane provides wear resistance, shock absorption, and floor grip. Steel ball or roller bearings in the center enable smooth rolling and load-bearing under heavy-duty cycles.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the 146382 load wheel assembly?
A: In typical warehouse service with standard load patterns, the 146382 lasts 2 to 4 years. High-cycle operations, outdoor use, or wet floor exposure reduce lifespan. Replace wheels when polyurethane shows flat spots, chunking, or hardening. Bearing noise or wheel wobble indicates hub or bearing wear.
