Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment models use the CT 1051261-XL idler caster?
A: The CT 1051261-XL is designed for select Caterpillar electric lift trucks. To confirm compatibility with your specific model, verify that the wheel bore diameter, diameter, and width match your equipment's hub specifications. Contact your Caterpillar dealer or consult your equipment manual for compatible models.
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the CT 1051261-XL?
A: The XL designation indicates this wheel uses 97A durometer polyurethane tread instead of standard 95A hardness. The enhanced 97A compound provides greater resistance to abrasion and flat-spotting, making it ideal for high-utilization applications or environments where standard wheels wear rapidly.
Q: What is the bore diameter of the CT 1051261-XL?
A: The CT 1051261-XL features a bore diameter. This measurement is critical for proper hub fit—ensure your equipment hub bore matches exactly before installation to prevent wobbling or unsafe operation.
Q: Are CT 1051261-XL and 1051261XL the same part?
A: Yes, CT 1051261-XL, CT1051261-XL, CT1051261XL, and 1051261XL refer to the same idler caster assembly. The CT 1051261-XL is the current designation and supersedes the earlier 1051261XL specification. Use any cross-reference number when ordering.
Q: Why choose 97A polyurethane over standard wheels?
A: The 97A durometer compound in this wheel provides enhanced durability for demanding applications. Select this wheel when operating under sustained heavy loads, extended runtime cycles, or in environments where standard 95A wheels experience premature wear or flat-spotting.
Q: What materials are used in the CT 1051261-XL construction?
A: The wheel features a polyurethane compound tread bonded to a precision machined steel hub. This combination delivers load-bearing rigidity and smooth rolling performance required for continuous-duty electric lift truck operations.
