Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 1075063-XL load wheel?
A: The CT 1075063-XL is a polyurethane load wheel with a 97A Shore A hardness rating, designed for Caterpillar electric pallet trucks. It features a machined steel hub, molded polyurethane tread, and precision-sealed ball bearings for reliable industrial performance.
Q: Which Caterpillar equipment models does the CT 1075063-XL fit?
A: The CT 1075063-XL is designed for Caterpillar NPP40 electric pallet trucks. Always verify your equipment model and serial range on your equipment nameplate before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: What part numbers does the CT 1075063-XL supersede or replace?
A: The CT 1075063-XL supersedes the CT 1075063-A and replaces the CT 1055548-XL-A. Equivalent part numbers include CT-1075063-A and CT1055548-XL-A. This is a direct replacement for equipment currently using those older part numbers.
Q: Why is the 97A durometer hardness rating important?
A: The 97A Shore A rating indicates high hardness, which provides superior wear resistance and longer service life. This hardness resists deformation under load and performs optimally on smooth, hard industrial flooring. For uneven or outdoor surfaces, softer compounds may offer better traction but wear more quickly.
Q: What maintenance does the CT 1075063-XL require?
A: Monitor bearing clearance and seal integrity periodically. Inspect tread wear patterns regularly and replace the wheel when tread thickness reduces by 25 percent or more. Keep the wheel clean of oil, grease, and debris to preserve bearing life and ensure proper tracking performance. Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
Q: Can I reuse the CT 1075063-XL wheel assembly?
A: The wheel hub and bearing assembly can typically be reused if bearing seals and races remain in good condition. Inspect for rust, play, or grinding sounds. However, the polyurethane tread is not rebuildable and must be replaced as a unit when worn beyond 25 percent thickness reduction.
