Product Description
XL-Grade Polyurethane Load Wheel for Yale Electric Pallet Jacks
This heavy-duty load wheel is engineered for demanding warehouse and distribution center operations. Featuring XL-grade polyurethane tread bonded to a reinforced cast iron or aluminum core, it delivers superior durability and load capacity for extended service cycles. Designed as a direct replacement for Yale electric walkie pallet jacks and compatible lift truck models, the wheel provides excellent floor grip, smooth operation, and consistent performance across concrete and smooth warehouse surfaces.
Suitable for standard Yale electric pallet jack wheel bays. Requires standard deep-groove ball bearing (typically 6205 or 6206). Complete wheel assembly with tread; bearing and mounting hardware sold separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean for this load wheel?
A: XL indicates heavy-duty polyurethane compound engineered for demanding industrial service. XL-grade wheels offer superior tread durability and load-carrying capacity compared to standard polyurethane wheels, making them ideal for high-cycle warehouse and distribution operations.
Q: What are the typical dimensions of the YL 550043532-XL?
A: XL-grade load wheels are manufactured in multiple diameter and width combinations to fit various Yale equipment models. Measure your existing wheel or provide your equipment model number to confirm the exact size for your machine.
Q: Is this a complete wheel assembly or just the tread?
A: The YL 550043532-XL is a complete load wheel with polyurethane tread bonded to a cast iron or aluminum core. The bearing assembly is not included and must be ordered separately. Standard Yale wheels typically use 6205 or 6206 deep-groove ball bearings.
Q: What is the load rating for this wheel?
A: Load rating depends on bearing quality, core material, and the equipment design. XL-grade polyurethane wheels are built for heavy-duty pallet jack service. Always confirm your equipment's maximum payload capacity in the machine documentation and do not exceed the truck's rated load limit.
Q: Can this wheel be used outdoors or on rough surfaces?
A: XL-grade polyurethane is designed for indoor industrial environments such as concrete warehouse floors and smooth surfaces. Outdoor use or operation on rough, uneven pavement will accelerate tread wear and may cause premature failure. Keep electric pallet jacks indoors or restrict use to level, smooth surfaces.
Q: What bearing size and type does this wheel require?
A: The bearing must match your wheel's core shaft diameter and your equipment's mounting configuration. Standard Yale load wheels typically use 6205 or 6206 deep-groove ball bearings. Do not reuse worn bearings; always inspect bearing condition during wheel replacement and install a new bearing if needed to ensure safe operation.
