Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the CT 1055548 load wheel?
A: These dimensions are standard for Caterpillar electric lift truck load wheel applications.
Q: What material is this wheel made from and what is its hardness?
A: The CT 1055548 is constructed from polyurethane with a Shore A 95 hardness rating. This durometer provides reliable traction and wear resistance for general material handling applications.
Q: What Caterpillar equipment does the CT 1055548 fit?
A: This load wheel is engineered for Caterpillar electric lift truck and pallet jack applications. Verify your equipment model and serial range match before ordering, as fitment varies across Caterpillar platforms.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the CT 1055548?
A: The CT 1055548 is equivalent to part number 1055548. Cross-reference numbers include CT1055548, CT 1055548-XL, CT 1055548-XL-A, CT1055548V-THO, and CT1055548EZ-MIL. Always verify the exact variant matches your equipment before ordering.
Q: How long does this polyurethane load wheel typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on load cycles, floor surface conditions, and operating environment. Polyurethane wheels typically deliver 1-3 years of service in high-cycle pallet truck operations before wear indicators appear. Cold storage and wet floors accelerate wear; regular inspection helps identify replacement timing.
Q: How should this wheel be stored when not in use?
A: Store the wheel in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Polyurethane is susceptible to UV degradation and hardening in cold conditions. Keep away from oils, solvents, and other chemicals that may degrade the material.
