Product Description
The RA 632-102 is a polyurethane drive wheel designed for Raymond electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. With a 95A durometer rating, this wheel delivers a balanced blend of load capacity, traction, and floor protection for standard warehouse operations. The medium-firm polyurethane compound resists wear and maintains steering responsiveness on typical warehouse flooring. Direct replacement component for Raymond material handling equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 632-102 and what does the 95A durometer rating mean?
A: The RA 632-102 is a polyurethane drive wheel for Raymond electric lift trucks rated at 95A durometer. The 95A rating indicates a medium-firm polyurethane hardness, providing a balance between load capacity, traction, and floor protection suitable for standard warehouse and distribution center operations.
Q: What is the difference between a drive wheel and a load wheel?
A: Drive wheels provide propulsion and steering for the lift truck and experience rotational force. Load wheels support the truck frame and load weight but do not rotate as part of the steering mechanism. The RA 632-102 drive wheel must withstand both load and rotational stress, requiring appropriate durometer hardness and material quality.
Q: How long does a 95A polyurethane drive wheel typically last?
A: A 95A polyurethane drive wheel typically lasts 12 to 24 months under normal warehouse duty, depending on truck usage, floor conditions, and operator technique. Wheels used in heavy-duty or continuous-operation environments may wear faster and require replacement sooner.
Q: What maintenance is required for the RA 632-102 drive wheel?
A: Inspect the RA 632-102 regularly for uneven wear, flat spots, or surface damage. Clean the wheel surface to remove debris that affects traction and steering. Check the mounting hardware and bearing condition. If the wheel shows significant wear or loss of traction, replacement is necessary to maintain truck control and safety.
Q: Are there equivalent drive wheels from other manufacturers?
A: The RA 632-102 is a Raymond OEM polyurethane drive wheel. Aftermarket equivalents may exist, but drive wheel replacement requires exact dimension and durometer matching to ensure proper truck steering, control, and safety. We stock the RA 632-102 as the direct OEM replacement for Raymond equipment.
