YL 1296611-00

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What equipment does the YL 1296611-00 wheel fit?
A: The YL 1296611-00 is a polyurethane load wheel sized 3 1/4 inch by 2 1/16 inch, designed for Yale electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and electric lift trucks. It is used as a steering or main drive wheel depending on truck model.

Q: What are the specifications for the YL 1296611-00 wheel?
A: This wheel measures 3 1/4 inches in diameter by 2 1/16 inches in width. It is constructed with a polyurethane tread compound bonded to a steel or ductile iron core. Load capacity depends on application, but typically ranges from 500 to 1200 pounds per wheel depending on total truck load rating.

Q: Is the YL 1296611-00 compatible with non-Yale lift trucks?
A: The YL 1296611-00 is compatible with Yale equipment. Cross-compatibility with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or other brands requires verification of bore diameter, axle fit, and wheel hub dimensions. Measure your existing wheel and verify center bore and width match before ordering.

Q: What are the material properties of the polyurethane compound used in the YL 1296611-00?
A: The YL 1296611-00 uses a polyurethane tread formulation designed for indoor and smooth floor applications. Polyurethane offers good grip on dry concrete and tile but may have reduced traction on wet surfaces. The material resists oils and mild chemicals common in warehouse environments.

Q: When should the YL 1296611-00 wheel be replaced?
A: Replace this wheel when tread depth reduces below 1/8 inch, when the wheel shows visible chunks missing, when cracks penetrate the tread, or when steering becomes notchy or unstable. Worn wheels reduce control and increase accident risk.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of the YL 1296611-00 wheel?
A: Under normal warehouse use, the YL 1296611-00 typically lasts 18 to 36 months. High-use operations or outdoor concrete may shorten life to 12 to 18 months. Light-use indoor environments may extend life to 4 years. Regular inspections help catch wear early.
