Product Description
The 1242400-001 is a side-adjustable caster assembly engineered for Raymond electric lift truck and pallet jack chassis platforms. Rated for static load capacity, this precision component features sealed ball bearings that eliminate maintenance and dirt contamination, combined with a polyurethane tread bonded to a steel core wheel for durable floor contact. The industrial powder-coated high-strength steel construction and direct side-mount compatibility enable straightforward integration and fine-tuning of wheel alignment to compensate for wear or uneven floor surfaces, extending overall caster lifespan while maintaining optimal tracking and operational performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 1242400-001 caster assembly and what load rating does it support?
A: The 1242400-001 is a side-adjustable caster assembly for Raymond electric lift truck and pallet jack chassis. It features sealed ball bearings and high-strength steel construction engineered for industrial duty cycles.
Q: Which Raymond truck models and chassis configurations is the 1242400-001 compatible with?
A: The 1242400-001 is designed for direct side-mount integration on Raymond electric pallet jack and lift truck chassis. Verify your chassis model and mounting cavity dimensions match the caster specifications before ordering.
Q: What wheel construction material is used on the 1242400-001 caster?
A: The 1242400-001 features a polyurethane tread bonded to a steel core wheel. Polyurethane provides grip on wet and dry floors, cold storage protection, and resistance to industrial oils and solvents common in warehouses.
Q: What sealed bearing system does the 1242400-001 use and what maintenance is required?
A: The 1242400-001 incorporates sealed ball bearings that require no lubrication and prevent water and dirt contamination. Maintenance is limited to periodic visual inspection for damage. Sealed bearings eliminate grease-related residue on floors.
Q: How does the side-adjustable design of the 1242400-001 benefit truck operation?
A: The side-adjustable mounting allows minor alignment correction to compensate for wear or floor unevenness without removing the caster from the truck chassis. This reduces downtime and extends caster lifespan by maintaining true wheel tracking.
Q: What is the expected service life and replacement schedule for the 1242400-001?
A: The 1242400-001 typically lasts 2-4 years under continuous warehouse use, depending on floor conditions and load cycles. Replace when polyurethane tread shows flat spots, excessive wear, or loss of traction. Bearing noise or lateral wheel wobble indicates replacement need.
