Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of this wheel?
A: The 5046465-01 is a polyurethane load wheel. These dimensions are critical for fitment; verify that your equipment frame and axle configuration match before ordering.
Q: Which Yale electric lift truck models accept this wheel?
A: The 5046465-01 is a direct replacement wheel for Yale electric pallet jacks and walkie lift trucks. Cross-reference your equipment model and axle specifications to confirm fitment with your frame and bearing assembly.
Q: What are the material properties of this wheel?
A: This wheel features a polyurethane tire compound bonded to a steel or cast iron hub. Polyurethane offers good load capacity, floor grip, and moderate wear resistance compared to rubber or cast iron alternatives.
Q: How do I know when this wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if the polyurethane surface shows significant flat spots, chunking, or tears, or if the wheel does not roll smoothly despite being properly mounted. A worn wheel reduces load capacity and floor traction.
Q: Can this wheel be used in cold storage?
A: Polyurethane wheels maintain flexibility at moderate cold temperatures typical of refrigerated warehouses. However, extremely low temperatures may reduce compound resilience; verify the operating temperature range of your equipment before use in very cold environments.
Q: What is the hub composition?
A: The wheel hub is constructed from steel or cast iron, providing durability and consistent performance under typical warehouse loading. Steel hubs are preferred for optimal load distribution.
