Poly L/W (95A) 5.50 X 3.75
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the specification Poly L/W (95A) 5.50 X 3.75 tell me about this wheel?
A: Poly L/W indicates a polyurethane load wheel. 95A is the durometer hardness rating (95 on the Shore A scale), specifying the material stiffness and wear resistance. 5.50 X 3.75 are the wheel dimensions in inches (diameter x width). These specifications determine compatibility, floor grip, and lifespan.
Q: What is the 95A durometer and how does it affect performance?
A: 95A durometer indicates a firm polyurethane compound with good wear resistance and load-carrying capacity. Higher durometer (stiffer) wheels resist flat-spotting and last longer in heavy-use environments. Lower durometer wheels provide better grip on slippery floors but wear faster. 95A is a common middle-ground compound for general warehouse use.
Q: Is the YL 614206308 suitable for wet or cold storage environments?
A: Standard polyurethane wheels like the YL 614206308 are not optimized for wet or cold storage. In those environments, durometer and grip properties degrade, reducing traction and increasing slipping risk. If your application involves wet floors or freezer use, consult us for alternative compound recommendations.
Q: What equipment models does the YL 614206308 fit?
A: This wheel fits Yale electric lift trucks with compatible load wheel bores and mounting points matching the 5.50 X 3.75 dimension. Verify your equipment model and original part number before ordering. Incorrect sizing causes fitment failure and unsafe operation.
Q: How long does a 95A polyurethane wheel typically last?
A: In typical indoor warehouse use, a 95A polyurethane wheel lasts 2-3 years before flat-spotting or hardening becomes significant. Heavy use, rough floors, or high temperatures accelerate wear. Regular inspection helps identify replacement timing before the wheel impacts lift truck control and safety.
