Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the CR 072280 load wheel?
A: The wheel features a cast iron core with high-rebound polyurethane tread.
Q: What equipment does the CR 072280 fit?
A: The CR 072280 is a direct replacement for Crown electric pallet trucks and supersedes Crown part number 72280. It is equivalent to Wicke 072280 and compatible with Crown reference numbers 83968 and 83970. Verify your equipment serial range against Crown documentation before ordering.
Q: Why is polyurethane tread preferred for electric pallet jacks?
A: The CR 072280 uses high-rebound polyurethane because it provides superior load-carrying capacity, resists wear in heavy-duty warehouse environments, maintains traction on concrete and smooth floors, and tolerates cold storage without hardening. Cast iron core construction provides durability and load support.
Q: What is the typical service life of the CR 072280?
A: Lifespan depends on load weight, floor type, and daily usage. In typical warehouse operations, expect 2-4 years of service. Smooth concrete floors and consistent loads extend wheel life. Rough outdoor surfaces or sustained overload accelerate wear.
Q: When should the CR 072280 wheel be replaced?
A: Worn wheels reduce traction and increase floor damage risk. Signs of wear include tread flattening, polyurethane delamination from the core, visible flat spots, or the pallet jack pulling sideways during operation. Continued use of worn wheels damages the wheel bore and mounting hub.
Q: Are there equivalent wheels from other manufacturers for the CR 072280?
A: The CR 072280 is equivalent to Wicke 072280. Cross-references include Crown part numbers 83968 and 83970. Verify your specific pallet jack model.
