Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between 550034013-XL and standard 550034013?
A: The 550034013-XL features XL grade polyurethane with 97A Shore A hardness, providing higher abrasion resistance compared to standard 95A polyurethane. Use XL grade for high-cycle operations, rough floors, or extended wear requirements.
Q: Is 550034013-XL a direct replacement for part 550034013?
A: Yes, 550034013-XL supersedes part 550034013, making it an upgraded direct replacement. It is equivalent to YT 550034013. Confirm your truck model supports the XL compound before upgrading.
Q: What operational benefits does the 97A Shore A hardness provide?
A: The 97A Shore A hardness delivers increased resistance to flat-spotting, cracking, and abrasion compared to standard 95A wheels. It is better suited for high-volume cycle operations and harsh floor conditions found in industrial warehouses.
Q: Does 550034013-XL work in cold storage applications?
A: XL grade polyurethane in 550034013-XL provides better performance in cold conditions than standard 95A due to its higher hardness. For dedicated freezer environments below minus 10 degrees Celsius, contact us about alternative formulations designed for extreme cold.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of 550034013-XL compared to standard wheels?
A: 550034013-XL typically outlasts standard 95A wheels in high-wear applications due to its increased hardness and abrasion resistance. Lifespan depends on load, floor conditions, and cycle volume. Monitor for wear and replace if cracking or damage develops.
Q: What are the compatible Yale models for 550034013-XL?
A: The 550034013-XL is compatible with Yale electric pallet truck models including MPE060, MPE080, MPE080LFN, MPB040, and MPW045.
