Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 0000-72008 and which pallet jacks does it fit?
A: The 0000-72008 is a steer wheel assembly designed for manual pallet jacks and hand trucks. It fits CAT Caterpillar HPT series hand pallet trucks. The wheel features an ultra-polyurethane tread bonded to an aluminum core for durability and finished floor protection.
Q: What are the key specifications?
A: Tread Material: Ultra-polyurethane compound. Core Material: Aluminum. Wheel Type: Steer wheel assembly. Application: Manual pallet jacks and hand trucks. The tread is engineered for smooth, quiet operation on concrete, tile, and sealed floors.
Q: What are the benefits of ultra-polyurethane tread?
A: Ultra-polyurethane provides superior floor grip, quiet operation, and protection of finished flooring compared to hard rubber. The material resists wear, abrasion, and degradation from oils and solvents common in warehouses. Aluminum cores minimize wheel weight while maintaining strength and durability.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this wheel?
A: Tread life depends on load, floor type, and frequency of use. Well-maintained wheels on smooth concrete under normal duty typically last 1-3 years before noticeable wear. Excessive loading, rough surfaces, or high-traffic environments accelerate wear. Inspect wheels quarterly for flat spots, uneven wear, or visible damage.
Q: How should this wheel be maintained?
A: Keep wheels clean and free of debris that can embed in the tread or cause flat spots. Periodically inspect the axle bearing for play or noise. Verify mounting bolts remain tight during regular equipment maintenance. Do not exceed the pallet jack rated capacity, as overload accelerates wheel and bearing wear. Replace wheels when tread wears unevenly or operator control diminishes.
