Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -A designation mean on the YL 6142063-02-A load wheel assembly?
A: The -A suffix indicates this is a complete load wheel assembly, not just the wheel. The assembly typically includes the wheel, bearing cartridge, axle pin, and mounting hardware pre-assembled as a single unit. This design reduces installation complexity and ensures proper alignment compared to separate wheel and bearing components.
Q: Which Yale trucks use the YL 6142063-02-A assembly?
A: The YL 6142063-02-A assembly is designed for Yale electric lift trucks that require the -02 variant wheel specification and an integrated assembly design. Serial number ranges and truck model determine compatibility. Verify the assembly part number on your equipment matches this SKU before ordering.
Q: What components are included in the YL 6142063-02-A assembly?
A: The YL 6142063-02-A load wheel assembly includes the polyurethane or rubber wheel, sealed bearing cartridge, axle pin, retaining clip, and any washers or spacers required for mounting. All components are pre-assembled and tested for proper alignment and rotation before shipment.
Q: What is the advantage of the YL 6142063-02-A assembly over separate wheel components?
A: The complete assembly eliminates mismatched component combinations and ensures bearing preload and wheel alignment are correct from the factory. This reduces diagnostic problems caused by incorrect bearing installation or spacer placement. Sealed bearings in the assembly also provide better protection against moisture and contamination.
Q: How long does the bearing cartridge in the YL 6142063-02-A assembly last?
A: Bearing lifespan depends on load, speed, and environmental conditions. In high-use material handling applications, sealed bearing assemblies typically last 2 to 4 years before friction increases and noise develops. Replace the assembly when bearing play or noise becomes noticeable; bearing failure will damage the wheel hub and axle.
