Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the Crown 83585-030 drive wheel?
A: The 83585-030 is a Crown-engineered drive wheel. It features polyurethane compound 306 material rated at 97A Shore hardness. This hardness level is significantly higher than standard wheels, built for heavy-duty service.
Q: What operating conditions is the 83585-030 designed for?
A: The 83585-030 is engineered for extended runs under heavy sustained loads, dock board transitions with expansion joints, metal chip and chip-filled environments, and wet operating conditions. The 97A hardness resists chunking and flat spotting that would degrade lower-durometer wheels in these demanding applications.
Q: Why is the 97A durometer rating important for this wheel?
A: The 97A Shore A durometer provides superior hardness compared to standard wheels (typically 90A-95A). Higher hardness means increased tread life, reduced rolling resistance, and better performance under sustained heavy load. This makes the 83585-030 suitable for high-volume handling operations where wheel longevity directly impacts uptime.
Q: Is the 83585-030 compatible with Crown RD and RS series electric lift trucks?
A: The 83585-030 is designed for Crown RD and RS series electric lift trucks. Verify your truck model, serial range, and current wheel hub dimensions match before ordering. This is a drive wheel application; confirm your equipment calls for a drive wheel versus load wheel assembly.
Q: What is the difference between the 83585-030 and 083585-030 part numbers?
A: Both 83585-030 and 083585-030 refer to the same direct replacement drive wheel. The alternate format (083585-030) includes a leading zero but represents identical product specifications and fitment. Use either format when ordering from your parts supplier.
