Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Yale electric lift truck models are compatible with the 516971804 drive tire?
A: This tire is designed for Yale electric lift trucks and pallet trucks using standard drive wheels. Verify your equipment's wheel specifications against the tire dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fitment and load rating compatibility.
Q: What are the typical dimensions and load capacity of the 516971804?
A: The rubber smooth flat tire is engineered for electric lift truck drive wheels. Exact specifications depend on the wheel assembly and truck model. Consult your equipment documentation or parts catalog for precise specifications matching your serial number and configuration.
Q: What material makes up the 516971804 drive tire?
A: The 516971804 features a rubber smooth flat compound. This material provides good traction on standard warehouse and facility floors. The smooth, flat rubber formulation is designed specifically for general material handling applications on indoor concrete and hard surfaces.
Q: How long will the 516971804 drive tire last in typical warehouse use?
A: Tire lifespan depends on load weight, usage frequency, floor conditions, and maintenance practices. Rubber smooth flat tires typically show wear signs after 12 to 24 months of regular warehouse use. Replace the tire when tread becomes completely flat or when you observe visible cracking or rubber separation.
Q: Is the 516971804 suitable for use in wet or cold storage environments?
A: The smooth flat rubber compound is optimized for dry to moderately wet indoor floors. For consistent use in cold storage facilities or wet environments, high-traction polyurethane tire options may provide better grip. Always test traction under your specific floor and temperature conditions before relying on this tire for critical applications.
Q: How should I store the 516971804 when not in use?
A: Store the tire in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, ozone sources, and extreme temperatures. Avoid prolonged storage on concrete directly—use shelving or racks to minimize flat spotting. Keep the tire protected from oils, solvents, and other chemicals that can degrade rubber.
Q: What is the warranty on the 516971804 drive tire?
A: Warranty terms vary by distributor and application. Contact your supplier for specific warranty coverage, any mileage or time limitations, and coverage conditions. Most industrial lift truck tires include coverage against manufacturing defects but not normal wear, impact damage, or misuse.
