Product Description
This 95D polyurethane wheel is engineered for demanding material handling environments where durability and load-bearing capacity are critical. The higher durometer rating (95D) provides superior resistance to abrasion, cutting, and deformation under heavy loads and high-speed operation. Ideal for electric pallet jacks, ride-on lift trucks, and warehouse straddle carriers, this wheel delivers reliable performance on concrete, asphalt, and rough facility floors. Factory-spec direct replacement for equipment by Nichiyu, Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the durometer rating of this polyurethane wheel?
A: This wheel is manufactured from polyurethane with a 95D durometer hardness rating. The 95D rating indicates a harder, more wear-resistant compound optimized for high-load and high-friction material handling environments.
Q: What equipment types does this 95D polyurethane wheel fit?
A: This wheel is compatible with electric pallet jacks, ride-on lift trucks, and straddle carriers from Nichiyu, Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Always verify your equipment model, wheel diameter, width, and bore size before ordering.
Q: How does 95D polyurethane differ from 95A or other durometer ratings?
A: 95D is significantly harder than 95A durometer, providing greater resistance to abrasion, cutting, and deformation under heavy loads. 95D wheels are preferred for rough surfaces, high-speed applications, and maximum load-bearing requirements.
Q: What surface conditions is this wheel designed for?
A: The 95D hardness rating makes this wheel suitable for concrete, asphalt, and rough warehouse floors. It resists tearing and wear in demanding environments but may have reduced traction on smooth or wet surfaces compared to softer compounds.
Q: What is the typical service life of a 95D polyurethane wheel?
A: Service life depends on load cycles, operating surface, speed, and maintenance. The harder 95D compound typically extends wheel life compared to softer durometer ratings when used in appropriate high-load applications.
Q: Are replacement wheels available with different durometer ratings?
A: Yes, compatible wheels are available in multiple durometer ratings including 95A, 95D, and specialized compounds. Contact our parts team with your operating conditions and load requirements to select the optimal durometer for your application.
