AC 9862

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the AC 9862 load wheel?
A: The AC 9862 is a direct replacement load wheel featuring industrial-grade polyurethane construction with 97A Shore durometer hardness. It is designed for continuous duty electric lift truck applications in warehouse and manufacturing environments.

Q: What does 97A Shore durometer mean?
A: 97A Shore durometer is a hardness measurement for polyurethane. At this hardness level, the AC 9862 provides excellent wear resistance and load support, making it suitable for demanding applications with varied floor conditions.

Q: What are the performance benefits of the AC 9862?
A: The AC 9862 delivers superior wear resistance, high load support capacity, and reliable performance on concrete and composite floors. The industrial-grade polyurethane construction ensures durability in continuous duty operations.

Q: What equipment compatibility should I verify?
A: Before ordering, verify that your equipment model and wheel mounting dimensions match the AC 9862 specifications. The part number AC 9862 is designed for Allis-Chalmers electric lift trucks. Contact us with your equipment serial number for exact compatibility confirmation.

Q: How should the AC 9862 wheel be maintained?
A: Regular inspection of tread depth and wheel condition is recommended. The polyurethane tread will gradually wear with use. Service life depends on daily operating hours, average loads handled, floor surface types, and maintenance practices. Replace when tread wear becomes significant or visible damage occurs.

Q: What environmental conditions affect the AC 9862 performance?
A: The AC 9862 with 97A durometer polyurethane provides excellent performance on standard concrete and composite floors. Performance in wet floors and cold storage environments depends on the specific polyurethane compound formulation. Contact us with your specific facility conditions for detailed recommendations.
