Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the RA 1060703-008 drive tire?
A: This configuration fits Raymond 8300, 8400, 8500, 8600, and 8900 series electric pallet trucks designed for this tire size.
Q: What is the durometer rating and material composition of this tire?
A: The RA 1060703-008 is manufactured from premium polyurethane elastomer compound with a durometer rating of 85 Shore A. This softer compound provides good traction and floor protection while resisting wear in standard warehouse and floor conditions.
Q: Is the RA 1060703-008 a direct replacement or equivalent to other Raymond tire numbers?
A: Yes. The RA 1060703-008 is a direct replacement for part number 1060703/004 and is equivalent to 1060703/009 and 1060703/0S8. All these part numbers reference the same tire specification and are interchangeable for Raymond 8300-8900 series pallet trucks.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of a polyurethane drive tire like the RA 1060703-008?
A: Polyurethane drive tires typically last 2 to 4 years in normal warehouse service, depending on floor conditions, load cycles, and maintenance. Smooth floors and moderate use extend lifespan. Rough concrete, heavy loads, and wet floors accelerate wear. Regular inspection for flat spots and edge cracking helps determine replacement timing.
Q: Can the RA 1060703-008 be used on both walkie and rider-operated pallet trucks?
A: The RA 1060703-008 is designed as a powered drive wheel tire for Raymond electric pallet trucks in the 8300-8900 series. Verify your specific truck model in the serial range to confirm compatibility. This tire is engineered for motor-driven applications in these models.
Q: How does the 85 Shore A durometer compare to other polyurethane tire options?
A: The 85 Shore A durometer indicates a relatively soft compound, offering good grip and shock absorption. Higher durometer ratings (such as 95A) provide greater hardness and longer wear life but less traction. Lower ratings increase traction but wear faster. Choose based on your floor type and load demands.
Q: Where should this tire be stored when not in use?
A: Store the RA 1060703-008 in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Protect from ozone and UV exposure to preserve the polyurethane elastomer. Indoor storage at temperatures between 50-70°F and low humidity extends tire life and maintains performance characteristics.
