Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the YL 524252456-XG drive tire?
A: The YL 524252456-XG measures 9.00 inches outer diameter by 5.00 inches width. It features a black X-groove tread pattern molded into a high-durability rubber compound. The integral traction grooves are designed to channel water and enhance grip on wet, smooth, and cold storage floors.
Q: Which Yale electric pallet truck models are compatible with the YL 524252456-XG?
A: The YL 524252456-XG is engineered for Yale electric pallet trucks requiring a tire-only replacement component. It is cross-referenced to multiple Yale models. Verify that your equipment hub assembly matches the press-fit mounting specification of this 9.00 x 5.00 inch tire before ordering.
Q: What is the advantage of the X-groove tread pattern over a smooth flat tire?
A: The X-groove tread pattern provides superior traction on wet floors, cold storage environments, and smooth concrete surfaces. The grooves channel water away and increase surface contact pressure, reducing slip and improving load control during acceleration and braking. Choose the XG variant if your operation involves wet or cold storage areas.
Q: Can the YL 524252456-XG replace the smooth flat version YL 524252456?
A: Yes. The YL 524252456-XG is a direct replacement for the flat tread version YL 524252456. Both share identical outer diameter (9.00 inches) and width (5.00 inches), and both press onto the same hub assembly. The only difference is the X-groove traction surface. Your equipment will fit either variant without modification.
Q: What is the material composition and expected service life of the YL 524252456-XG?
A: The YL 524252456-XG is manufactured from a high-durability rubber compound with integral X-groove molding. Service life depends on floor conditions, load frequency, and maintenance. Rubber tires wear faster than polyurethane in high-cycle operations. Monitor tread depth and replace when grooves begin to flatten or tire surface shows visible wear.
Q: How does the YL 524252456-XG relate to the complete assembly YL 524251411?
A: The YL 524252456-XG is a tire-only component. The YL 524251411 is a complete assembly that includes the tire with an integrated steel hub. If you need to replace only the tire and your hub is still serviceable, order the YL 524252456-XG. If the hub is damaged or worn, order the complete assembly YL 524251411 or YL 524251411-XG.
