CR 123240-035-XL-A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the exact dimensions of this polyurethane caster wheel?
A: The XL oversized configuration is specifically engineered for Crown electric lift truck load wheel applications, providing enhanced load capacity and durability in heavy-use environments.

Q: What is the Shore A hardness rating and why does it matter?
A: The wheel is rated 97 Shore A durometer, indicating a firm, durable polyurethane compound. This hardness level provides excellent wear resistance, maintains consistent performance across varying load conditions, and delivers dependable traction on multiple floor types.

Q: What core material is used and what are its benefits?
A: The core is high-strength machined steel with a precision ground finish and anti-corrosive coating. Machined steel cores provide superior load capacity, longer service life, and greater durability compared to cast iron alternatives, making them ideal for demanding warehouse operations.

Q: Are the bearings sealed and what is their maintenance requirement?
A: Yes, this wheel features precision sealed ball bearings integrated into the assembly. Sealed bearings are maintenance-free, reduce operational downtime, and prevent water and debris intrusion, extending overall wheel lifespan in demanding industrial conditions.

Q: What is the expected service life of this wheel assembly?
A: With machined steel core construction and sealed bearings, this wheel typically delivers 2-4 years of reliable service in heavy industrial use. Service life depends on load weight, floor surface conditions, operating hours, and maintenance practices.

Q: Which Crown lift truck models are compatible with this wheel?
A: This wheel is designed as a direct replacement for Crown electric lift truck load wheel applications. Verify your specific Crown equipment model before purchasing. Contact a Crown distributor or our parts team with your truck model and serial number for compatibility confirmation.

Q: How do sealed bearings differ from open bearings?
A: Sealed bearings are protected from external contaminants, requiring no routine lubrication and reducing maintenance costs. Open bearings require periodic greasing and are more susceptible to failure in wet or dusty environments. Sealed bearings extend component life significantly in industrial settings.

Q: What makes this an XL-configuration wheel?
A: The XL designation indicates this wheel is oversized compared to standard configurations, delivering increased load capacity, improved weight distribution, and enhanced stability for Crown electric lift trucks operating in demanding applications.
