Product Description
Polyurethane Drive Tire - XL Extended Width
High-quality polyurethane drive tire designed for Raymond material handling equipment. The XL variant features extended width and hub dimensions for applications requiring increased tire contact surface and load distribution. Non-marking formulation protects floors from discoloration while providing reliable drive performance.
This direct replacement tire delivers consistent power transmission and reduced noise during operation, making it ideal for warehouses and distribution centers where equipment operates multiple shifts. The durable polyurethane compound resists wear and maintains performance across varied floor conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the 1060703-101-XL?
A: The XL designation indicates an extended width or hub configuration compared to the standard 1060703-101 polyurethane drive tire. This variant is designed for specific equipment frames and mounting requirements that need greater tire contact surface or different hub bore specifications. Always verify your equipment documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: Is the 1060703-101-XL compatible with all Raymond 8300-8900 series models?
A: The 1060703-101-XL is optimized for Raymond 8300, 8400, 8500, 8600, and 8900 series equipment. However, due to extended dimensions, it may not be compatible with all configurations within these series. Confirm hub bore, tire width, and mounting geometry specifications against your equipment manual before purchasing to prevent fitment issues.
Q: What material and durometer rating does the 1060703-101-XL use?
A: The tire is manufactured from non-marking polyurethane in durometer options of 87A Shore or 95A Shore. The 87A option provides softer ride characteristics and better grip, while 95A Shore offers increased durability for heavy-duty applications. Specify your durometer preference when ordering.
Q: When should you choose the XL version over the standard 1060703-101?
A: Choose the XL variant only when your equipment specifications explicitly require extended width or modified hub bore dimensions. Measure your existing tire or consult your equipment manual to determine the correct variant. Using an incorrectly sized tire can compromise equipment stability and safety.
Q: How does the extended width affect tire performance?
A: Extended width distributes the load over a larger floor contact area, which can reduce floor marking, improve traction on slippery surfaces, and enhance load stability. These performance benefits depend on your truck frame and steering geometry being properly configured for the wider footprint.
Q: How should the 1060703-101-XL be stored and maintained?
A: Store the tire in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to prevent degradation. Inspect periodically for cracks, separation, or unusual wear patterns. Clean the tire surface to remove oils, grease, and floor debris that could accelerate wear or affect traction.
Q: What is the expected lifespan and reuse potential?
A: Polyurethane drive tires typically last 3-5 years or longer depending on usage intensity, floor conditions, and maintenance. Tires showing visible wear, cracking, or reduced drive performance should be replaced. Proper inflation (if applicable) and regular inspection extend service life.
