Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does Poly L/W (95A) 5.50 X 3.75 specify?
A: Poly L/W indicates a polyurethane load wheel. 95A is the durometer hardness (Shore A scale), specifying material stiffness and wear resistance. These specifications determine equipment compatibility, floor grip, and operational lifespan.
Q: What does 95A durometer mean for wheel performance?
A: 95A durometer indicates a firm polyurethane compound with excellent wear resistance and load-carrying capacity. 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 standard middle-ground compound for general warehouse use.
Q: Is this wheel suitable for wet or cold storage environments?
A: Standard polyurethane wheels 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, contact us for alternative compound recommendations.
Q: What Yale equipment models does the 614206308 fit?
A: This wheel fits Yale electric lift trucks, pallet jacks, and reach trucks with compatible load wheel bores and mounting specifications. Always verify your equipment model and original part specifications before ordering to ensure correct fitment and safe operation.
Q: How long does a 95A polyurethane wheel 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 wheel condition impacts lift truck control and safety.
Q: Does this wheel require maintenance?
A: Periodically inspect the wheel for flat spots, cracks, or uneven wear. Clean debris and buildup regularly. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, which can degrade polyurethane. Replace when visibly worn or when flat-spotting affects vehicle control.
