Thombert Load Wheel 5 x 3.88 x 2.44 for Linde and Yale – ST-1683

Thombert builds this polyurethane load wheel to a 5 inch outside diameter with a 3.88 inch tread width, a mid-size footprint that carries working load without adding unnecessary bulk to the wheel pocket. The 2.44 inch bore is the press-fit dimension that seats the wheel on its axle, so it is the first spec to verify against the shaft. Polyurethane tread resists cutting and flat-spotting under the repeated start-stop duty of an electric lift truck far better than a rubber compound.

The bore is cut for the 8605 bearing series used at this size, so match the bearing to the hub and application when preparing the wheel for service.

Thombert documents this wheel fitting Linde/Baker and Yale lift trucks, drawn from the manufacturer's own cross-reference table rather than a bare dimensional guess. Because bore is what determines whether the wheel presses on and runs true, measure the axle and confirm it matches the 2.44 inch bore before pressing the wheel into place.
