Product Description
Load wheel assy, xl 97a
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the 550043532-A assembly?
A: This is a complete load wheel assembly with 97A durometer polyurethane tread pre-assembled to the core and bearing. The assembly is ready to mount to compatible Yale electric pallet jacks without requiring separate component sourcing.
Q: What does 97A durometer mean for this load wheel?
A: The 97A durometer rating indicates the hardness of the polyurethane tread. A higher durometer (97A) means a firmer, more durable compound that resists cutting and abrasion effectively. This is suitable for heavy-duty industrial use, concrete floors, and extended service cycles.
Q: Is the 550043532-A a direct replacement for other Yale wheel assemblies?
A: The 550043532-A is designed as a direct replacement for specific Yale electric pallet jack models. Confirm your equipment model and serial number match this assembly before ordering to ensure proper fit and handling performance.
Q: What bearing is used in the 550043532-A assembly?
A: The assembly uses a standard deep-groove ball bearing fitted to the core. The bearing type (typically 6205 or similar) is designed to be compatible with Yale electric pallet jack wheel mounting shafts and preload specifications.
Q: Can the tread be replaced if it wears, or must I buy a new assembly?
A: The 550043532-A is a bonded assembly where the polyurethane tread is permanently bonded to the core. When tread wears excessively (flat spots, reduced thickness, loss of grip), the entire assembly must be replaced. Tread-only replacement is not available for this assembly.
Q: What floor conditions is the 97A compound suitable for?
A: The 97A polyurethane works well on dry concrete, warehouse floors, and typical indoor surfaces. For persistent wet floors or cold storage below 32°F, verify 97A performance is adequate, as standard durometers may experience reduced traction in those conditions.
Q: How do I know if this wheel is correct for my Yale pallet jack?
A: Cross-reference your equipment's model number and parts diagram with the 550043532-A specification. Contact Yale's technical support or consult your equipment manual to verify this assembly matches your specific machine before ordering.
