Product Description
The Yale 220012782 is a polyurethane load wheel engineered for Yale electric lift trucks. Poly wheels deliver superior performance across warehouse environments with excellent load capacity, low rolling resistance, and durability in temperature-variable conditions. The 220012782 resists moisture and chemicals, maintains traction on concrete and sealed floors, and performs reliably in both standard and cold-storage settings. Choose polyurethane for consistent operation where rubber alternatives may become brittle or crack. This direct replacement wheel is built to factory specifications for reliable performance and extended service life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 220012782 poly wheel used for?
A: The 220012782 is a polyurethane wheel component for Yale electric lift truck assemblies. Poly wheels are used as load wheels, drive wheels, or guide wheels depending on the truck configuration and operate in various indoor and outdoor warehouse environments.
Q: What Yale lift truck models does the 220012782 poly wheel fit?
A: The 220012782 is designed for Yale electric lift truck models. Verify your equipment model, serial range, wheel diameter, and axle bore size before ordering to confirm compatibility and ensure proper wheel installation on your truck.
Q: What are the advantages of polyurethane wheels?
A: Polyurethane wheels like the 220012782 offer good load capacity, low rolling resistance, and durability across temperature ranges. They perform well on concrete and sealed floors, resist moisture and chemicals, and provide consistent traction in both standard and cold-storage environments without the cracking issues common with rubber wheels.
Q: How long does the 220012782 poly wheel typically last?
A: Polyurethane wheel lifespan depends on load weight, floor conditions, and daily usage hours. Typical service life ranges from 2-4 years in high-cycle warehouse operations. Wheels show wear through flat spotting, tread thickness reduction, and increased rolling noise before failure.
Q: What is the difference between the 220012782 and rubber wheels?
A: Polyurethane wheels are more durable and temperature-resistant than rubber wheels. Poly wheels maintain consistency in cold storage and outdoor environments where rubber becomes brittle. Polyurethane also resists moisture absorption and offers longer lifespan under constant load, making it preferred for electric lift truck applications.
Q: Can the 220012782 be used in wet or cold storage environments?
A: Yes. Polyurethane wheels like the 220012782 perform reliably on wet floors and in cold storage areas. The material does not become brittle in cold temperatures and resists moisture absorption, unlike rubber. However, on extremely wet surfaces, verify adequate tread depth for traction.
