Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the CA PO-0523 polyolefin wheel?
A: The CA PO-0523 is a 5 inch diameter wheel with a 2 inch width and 1-3/16 inch bore. This size fits standard cart and equipment frames requiring polyolefin wheels.
Q: What materials is this polyolefin wheel made from and what surfaces does it perform best on?
A: Polyolefin construction provides durability on smooth, clean floors like sealed concrete and polished indoor surfaces. It does not perform well on wet or outdoors surfaces and can degrade in extreme cold or direct sunlight.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a polyolefin wheel in regular use?
A: Polyolefin wheels typically last 12 to 24 months under normal indoor use with moderate loads. Lifespan depends on load, floor conditions, and usage frequency. Wheels should be inspected regularly for wear flats, cracks, or debris buildup.
Q: What is the load rating for the CA PO-0523?
A: Consult the equipment manufacturer specifications. Load capacity depends on bearing type, mounting configuration, and how many wheels share the load on the equipment.
Q: How does polyolefin compare to urethane wheels?
A: Polyolefin is harder and more affordable than urethane but produces noise and vibration on rough floors. Urethane provides better shock absorption and quieter operation but costs more and is better for high-impact or wet environments.
