Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key dimensions of the CT 1049911 load wheel?
A: The CT 1049911 is engineered for Caterpillar electric lift truck models requiring these specific dimensions. Proper fit ensures correct steering geometry and load distribution for safe material handling operations.
Q: What materials are used in the CT 1049911 construction?
A: The CT 1049911 combines a polyurethane tread rated at 95 Shore A hardness with a high‑strength polymer composite core. This construction balances durability, load‑bearing capacity, and rolling efficiency in warehouse environments.
Q: How do I confirm that the CT 1049911 is compatible with my equipment?
A: Cross‑reference your equipment documentation or parts manual using part number 1049911 or CT 1049911. Dimensions must match your fork carriage load wheel pocket exactly—using incorrect wheel sizes affects steering, stability, and safety.
Q: What makes the CT 1049911 suitable for warehouse use?
A: The polyurethane tread at 95 Shore A hardness resists damage from pallet edges and warehouse debris while minimizing friction during fork travel. The composite core provides consistent load‑rolling performance across standard loading cycles.
Q: What is the difference between the CT 1049911 and aftermarket load wheels?
A: The CT 1049911 is manufactured to Caterpillar original equipment specifications with controlled polyurethane hardness, composite core engineering, and dimensional tolerances. This ensures predictable performance, durability, and compatibility with your Caterpillar lift truck fleet.
Q: Can wheels with different diameters or widths be substituted for the CT 1049911?
A: No. The wheel is engineered for specific equipment models and load ratings. Substituting will affect steering geometry, load distribution, and equipment stability. Always use the dimension specified in your equipment documentation.
Q: What maintenance should the CT 1049911 receive?
A: Inspect the wheel regularly for wear, damage, or flat spots. Clean debris from the tread as needed. Replace the wheel if the polyurethane tread becomes worn thin, compromising load‑bearing performance or creating unsafe handling conditions.
