YL 550011239-XG

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the -XG designation mean on this part number?
A: The -XG suffix designates the X-groove tread pattern in the polyurethane tire. This provides increased traction and improved slip resistance compared to smooth tire designs, making it suitable for wet floors and varied surfaces.

Q: Which Yale electric lift truck models use the YL 550011239-XG?
A: The YL 550011239-XG is a genuine Yale replacement part for Yale electric lift trucks requiring X-groove drive tire assemblies with integrated steel hubs. This part is engineered for warehouse and industrial applications.

Q: What is the hub material, and why does it matter?
A: This assembly features a machined steel hub. Steel hubs provide greater load-bearing capacity, longer service life, and better resistance to bearing wear compared to aluminum or plastic hubs. Steel is standard for heavy-duty industrial lift trucks.

Q: What tire material is used in this assembly?
A: The tread material is polyurethane elastomer with an X-groove pattern. Polyurethane elastomer provides good grip on multiple floor types, resists oil and chemicals, and offers consistent performance across temperature ranges typical in warehouse environments.

Q: Can I use this -XG tire if my equipment originally had a smooth tire?
A: Installation compatibility depends on matching hub bore size, diameter, and width specifications to your equipment. The -XG designation indicates tread pattern only. Verify all dimensional specifications match your current assembly before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
