Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the PR 40266-01 drive tire?
A: The PR 40266-01 is a Prime Mover OEM solid rubber drive tire dimensioned at 13.5 x 5.5 x 8 inches. It is manufactured from high-durometer industrial-grade rubber designed for smooth, quiet operation on level warehouse and production facility floors.
Q: Which electric lift trucks is the PR 40266-01 compatible with?
A: The PR 40266-01 is designed as a drive position replacement tire for Prime Mover electric lift trucks. It may also fit comparable equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale with matching 13.5 x 5.5 x 8 inch tire positioning. Verify wheel hub bore diameter and mounting configuration before ordering.
Q: What is the expected service life of the PR 40266-01 tire?
A: High-durometer industrial-grade rubber tires like the PR 40266-01 typically deliver 2000 to 5000 operating hours before hardening, cracking, or wear requires replacement. Service life depends on load weight, floor surface, ambient temperature, and drive cycle intensity. Colder storage environments extend durability.
Q: When should the PR 40266-01 be replaced?
A: Replace the PR 40266-01 when the tire shows visible flat spotting, cracking, hardening, chunks missing, or reduced traction on smooth floors. Worn tires reduce steering control, increase motor load, and may cause drive slippage under peak load conditions. Inspect tires monthly during maintenance cycles.
Q: Why use high-durometer rubber in the PR 40266-01?
A: High-durometer rubber resists compression set and extends tire life under the continuous and repetitive loading typical of electric lift truck drive wheels. It provides firm contact on concrete and sealed floors while minimizing rolling resistance and energy consumption compared to softer compounds.
Q: Does the PR 40266-01 come with a hub or hub kit?
A: The PR 40266-01 is the tire only. The hub must be sourced separately or may already be present on your equipment. Cross-reference your current hub assembly or contact us with your lift truck model and serial number to confirm hub and bearing compatibility.
