Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 1242400-001 caster assembly and what load rating does it support?
A: The RA 1242400-001 is a side-adjustable caster assembly for Raymond electric lift truck chassis. It is rated for 4500 lbs static load capacity and features sealed ball bearings and high-strength steel construction engineered for industrial duty cycles.
Q: Which Raymond truck models and chassis configurations is the RA 1242400-001 compatible with?
A: The RA 1242400-001 is designed for direct side-mount integration on Raymond electric pallet jack and lift truck chassis. Verify your chassis model and mounting cavity dimensions match the caster specifications before ordering.
Q: What wheel construction material is used on the RA 1242400-001 caster?
A: The RA 1242400-001 features a polyurethane tread bonded to a steel core wheel. Polyurethane provides grip on wet and dry floors, cold storage protection, and resistance to industrial oils and solvents common in warehouses.
Q: What sealed bearing system does the RA 1242400-001 use and what maintenance is required?
A: The RA 1242400-001 incorporates sealed ball bearings that require no lubrication and prevent water and dirt contamination. Maintenance is limited to periodic visual inspection for damage. Sealed bearings eliminate grease-related residue on floors.
Q: How does the side-adjustable design of the RA 1242400-001 benefit truck operation?
A: The side-adjustable mounting allows minor alignment correction to compensate for wear or floor unevenness without removing the caster from the truck chassis. This reduces downtime and extends caster lifespan by maintaining true wheel tracking.
Q: What is the expected service life and replacement schedule for the RA 1242400-001?
A: The RA 1242400-001 typically lasts 2-4 years under continuous warehouse use, depending on floor conditions and load cycles. Replace when polyurethane tread shows flat spots, excessive wear, or loss of traction. Bearing noise or lateral wheel wobble indicates replacement need.
