Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the CT 12017777-A assembly?
A: The CT 12017777-A is a complete polyurethane load wheel assembly for tandem wheel configurations. It includes a polyurethane load wheel with Shore A 95 durometer compound and four factory-sealed ball bearings that are pre-installed and ready for use.
Q: What equipment is this wheel assembly designed for?
A: The CT 12017777-A is designed for Caterpillar electric pallet jacks and electric lift trucks with tandem wheel axle configurations. Verify your equipment specifications match the tandem wheel requirement before ordering.
Q: Why is Shore A 95 polyurethane recommended for this wheel?
A: The Shore A 95 polyurethane tread provides excellent load-bearing capacity, strong resistance to wear and abrasion, and superior durability in indoor warehouse and material handling applications. This hardness rating balances grip performance with extended operational life.
Q: Are the bearings sealed or do they require lubrication?
A: The four ball bearings included in the CT 12017777-A assembly are factory-sealed, eliminating the need for routine lubrication or maintenance. The sealed design prevents contamination and debris ingress during equipment operation.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this load wheel assembly?
A: Polyurethane wheel assemblies typically deliver 2 to 5 years of service in active warehouse environments, depending on load intensity, floor conditions, and equipment duty cycle. The sealed bearings operate maintenance-free throughout the wheel's service life.
Q: Can this wheel be used as a direct replacement for other wheel assemblies?
A: The CT 12017777-A is engineered as a factory-spec direct replacement for compatible Caterpillar tandem wheel applications. Confirm your equipment's part specifications and axle dimensions match before ordering to ensure proper fit and function.
