Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -A designation mean on the 6142063-02-A load wheel assembly?
A: The -A suffix indicates this is a complete load wheel assembly, not just the wheel. The assembly 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 6142063-02-A assembly?
A: The 6142063-02-A assembly is designed for Yale electric lift trucks that require the -02 variant wheel specification and an integrated assembly design. Verify the assembly part number on your equipment matches this part number before ordering.
Q: What components are included in the 6142063-02-A assembly?
A: The load wheel assembly includes the polyurethane wheel, sealed bearing cartridge, axle pin, retaining clip, and washers or spacers required for mounting. All components are factory pre-assembled and tested for proper alignment and rotation before shipment.
Q: What is the advantage of this 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. Sealed bearings provide superior protection against moisture and contamination in warehouse and outdoor environments.
Q: How long does the bearing cartridge 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.
