Product Description
The Clark CL 1806276-ST is a replacement steering wheel designed for Clark manual pallet jacks. This direct replacement features a high-wear black polyurethane tread bonded to an injection-molded nylon hub, providing smooth floor-protective travel and extended service life. The polyurethane tread resists abrasion and UV exposure, while the nylon hub reduces rolling resistance and resists corrosion, making this wheel ideal for warehouse and material handling operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the CL 1806276-ST tread made from?
A: The CL 1806276-ST features a high-wear black polyurethane tread bonded to an injection-molded nylon hub. Black polyurethane formulations provide superior resistance to abrasion and UV exposure compared to standard polyurethane, making this wheel suitable for extended outdoor or high-traffic warehouse environments.
Q: Is the CL 1806276-ST a direct replacement for my Clark manual pallet jack?
A: The CL 1806276-ST is a direct replacement wheel for Clark manual pallet jacks. Verify that your jack model is compatible and that the hub bore and axle diameter match the specified configuration. Standard hub and axle fitment is required for proper operation.
Q: What makes the nylon hub durable for long-term use?
A: The injection-molded nylon hub provides high load-bearing capacity and reduces rolling resistance compared to steel hubs. Nylon also offers natural resistance to corrosion and moisture absorption, extending service life in humid or wet warehouse environments. The hub geometry is optimized to support standard manual pallet jack axle loads.
Q: How long does the CL 1806276-ST typically last in normal warehouse use?
A: High-wear polyurethane wheels typically perform for 12 to 18 months in standard warehouse service. Extended service life occurs in lower-cycle operations or climate-controlled environments. Periodically inspect tread for wear, checking that minimum thickness remains above. Replace if the wheel loses roundness or develops flat spots.
Q: What floor conditions is the CL 1806276-ST best suited for?
A: The high-wear black polyurethane tread performs well on standard concrete and polished warehouse floors. It provides moderate grip in slightly wet conditions but is not designed for heavy water exposure. For cold storage or wet floor applications, consider wheels with enhanced-grip compound formulations.
Q: How should I clean and maintain the CL 1806276-ST wheel?
A: Clean the wheel assembly with water and a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Avoid aggressive solvents, degreasers, or harsh chemicals that can degrade the polyurethane tread bond or nylon hub finish. Do not use high-pressure washers directly on the wheel assembly. Regular cleaning extends wheel life and maintains optimal performance.
