Load wheels rarely get any attention, until they wear out. Having a more durable wheel will save you time, money, and increase the productivity of the real job: moving goods. For many companies, load wheel maintenance exceeds 50% of their forklift maintenance budget, so finding a longer lasting load wheel alternative can save a lot of money.

The price of the load wheel is only about half of the direct cost of load wheel replacement—the cost of labor, wheel bearings, etc. should also be considered. A cheaper load wheel that needs to be changed more frequently results in increased parts and labor expenses, as well as additional downtime.

Luckily, Crown offers a line of load wheels that last 25% longer than the typical load wheel. Crown wheels are renowned for their quality, and Crown has a lot of pride in this wheel specifically built for Class 2 and Class 3 narrow aisle lift trucks. Reach trucks, order pickers, pallet jack, tuggers…all are served by this rugged wheel.
