Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the CR 79494 drive tire?
A: The CR 79494 is a press-on polyurethane drive tire. It features a tapered sidewall profile and is available in two hardness options: 85–87A Shore or 95A Shore. The polyurethane construction provides durability for high-load and extended-run applications.
Q: Which Crown electric pallet jack models are compatible with the CR 79494?
A: The CR 79494 is designed as a direct replacement for Crown PE3000 electric pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model and serial number match the PE3000 specification before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What is the difference between 85–87A and 95A Shore hardness?
A: Shore hardness indicates tire compound stiffness. The 85–87A option provides a softer, more cushioned ride suitable for standard-duty and extended-run applications. The 95A option is a harder compound better for high-load applications and demanding floor conditions. Choose based on your specific operational requirements.
Q: What cross-reference part numbers are compatible with CR 79494?
A: Compatible part numbers include 079494-341-05 (manufacturer designation), CR79494-EZ, CR079494-253-01-MIL, CR79494-1, CR79494-001, 79494-1, and 79494-001. Note that CR 79494-EZ uses a high-traction polyurethane compound and may have different performance characteristics for specific floor conditions.
Q: When should I replace the CR 79494 drive tire?
A: Replace the tire when you observe uneven wear patterns, visible cracks, missing tread sections, reduced grip performance, or compromised tire integrity. Worn drive tires reduce lifting efficiency and may affect steering control. Expected tire life is typically 2–4 years depending on duty cycle and floor surface conditions.
Q: Is the CR 79494 suitable for wet or cold storage environments?
A: The standard CR 79494 polyurethane compound is designed for typical warehouse and general floor conditions. For enhanced performance on wet floors or in cold storage environments, the CR 79494-EZ variant offers high-traction properties. Contact your distributor to discuss specific environmental requirements.
