Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the RL 3-91027 polyurethane load wheel?
A: The RL 3-91027 is a polyurethane load wheel with 92A durometer hardness. It features a steel core with powder-coat finish and sealed ball bearing construction designed for continuous industrial duty on electric lift trucks and forklifts.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is the RL 3-91027 compatible with?
A: The RL 3-91027 fits various electric pallet jack and lift truck models from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Always verify your equipment model, serial number, and existing wheel dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fitment and safe operation.
Q: What does 92A durometer hardness mean for load wheel performance?
A: Durometer measures material hardness on the Shore A scale. A 92A durometer polyurethane provides balanced load-bearing capacity and floor traction. This hardness level resists wear during high-frequency lift operations while maintaining grip on smooth industrial floors. Harder wheels (95A+) wear slower but offer less shock absorption, while softer wheels (85-88A) provide better traction but wear faster.
Q: How long does a polyurethane load wheel like the RL 3-91027 typically last?
A: Service life depends on duty cycle, floor surface, load weight, and maintenance practices. In continuous industrial use, polyurethane load wheels typically last 12 to 36 months before wear requires replacement. Replace when tread wears down, flat spots develop, or bearing noise indicates seal failure.
Q: Is the RL 3-91027 sealed bearing construction maintainable?
A: Yes, sealed ball bearing construction protects bearings from dust and contamination, extending service intervals in wet and cold storage environments. The sealed design cannot be re-lubricated in the field. When bearings wear or noise develops, replace the entire wheel assembly as a unit.
Q: How should the RL 3-91027 be stored when not in use?
A: Store the wheel in a clean, dry location protected from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive chemicals. Polyurethane can degrade under prolonged UV exposure or in temperatures above 122°F (50°C). Keep sealed bearings clean and away from moisture to maintain functionality.
