Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the CT 1050132-XL load wheel?
A: The CT 1050132-XL has a 97A durometer polyurethane tread with non-marking flat tread design and a CNC-machined high-strength steel core. The 97A hardness rating provides superior abrasion resistance compared to softer 95A options.
Q: Which part numbers does the CT 1050132-XL replace or interchange with?
A: The CT 1050132-XL interchanges with Caterpillar 1050132 and CT1050132-MIL part numbers. All versions maintain identical, making the CT 1050132-XL a direct fit replacement for equipment originally equipped with the standard 1050132 load wheel.
Q: What does non-marking tread mean and when should I use this wheel?
A: Non-marking tread means the polyurethane formulation is designed to prevent scuff marks and discoloration on floor surfaces. Use the CT 1050132-XL in retail environments, finished warehouse areas, or where non-marking compounds are contractually required. The 97A high-hardness polyurethane also resists marking better than softer compounds.
Q: Is the CT 1050132-XL compatible with all Caterpillar electric lift truck models?
A: The CT 1050132-XL is compatible with Caterpillar electric lift truck forks designed for the CT1050132 or 1050132 load wheel. Verify your equipment's original load wheel part number before ordering.
Q: How does the 97A durometer affect performance and durability?
A: The 97A durometer is 2 points harder than standard 95A wheels, delivering increased abrasion resistance and extended tread life under heavy or frequent use. This higher hardness reduces wear rates in high-traffic material handling environments, making it ideal for demanding warehouse applications requiring longer wheel lifespan.
Q: What environment is the CT 1050132-XL best suited for?
A: The CT 1050132-XL is designed for indoor material handling applications where load wheels are subjected to frequent use on hard floors. Its non-marking, high-hardness formulation makes it ideal for retail distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses requiring durable, floor-safe load wheels.
