Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the RA 631-051-008?
A: The RA 631-051-008 features a 95A polyurethane tread, cast iron hub, and sealed bearing fitment. The wheel is engineered for Raymond electric lift truck applications.
Q: What is the tread material and durometer hardness?
A: The tread is premium 95A polyurethane with a durometer hardness of 95 Shore A. This hardness level provides excellent wear resistance and load capacity for continuous-duty warehouse environments.
Q: What are the equivalent part numbers?
A: Cross-reference and equivalent part numbers include 631-051-008, RA631051008, and 631051008. Check your equipment documentation to confirm part compatibility.
Q: Why does this wheel use a cast iron hub?
A: Cast iron hub construction provides durability and precision bearing mounting for high-capacity lift applications. The material resists deformation and maintains dimensional stability under sustained loading.
Q: How long does this wheel typically last?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on duty cycle, floor conditions, and load weights. Under normal warehouse conditions with regular maintenance inspection, expect 3-5 years before tread wear or bearing degradation requires replacement.
Q: Is this wheel suitable for both load and steer wheel positions?
A: The RA 631-051-008 is designed as a load wheel assembly. For steer wheel applications, consult Raymond documentation or contact your parts supplier for the appropriate model number.
