Q: When should the 5242101-73 caster assembly be replaced?
A: Replace the caster assembly if the wheel shows flat spots, chunks missing, visible cracking, or reduced grip. If the truck pulls to one side or the swivel rotates with difficulty, the assembly may be worn. Inspect the bracket for bending or cracks as well.

Q: What is the load capacity of the 5242101-73 wheel?
A: Load capacity depends on the total number of casters on your truck and the specific truck model. The polyurethane wheel is rated for industrial material handling applications. Consult your truck's documentation or contact us with your equipment details for the exact load rating.
