Thombert Load Wheel Assembly 5 x 3.88 x 2.44 – ST-1444 AOA

Load wheels on a sit-down electric truck carry the weight the drive tire does not, and this Thombert assembly handles that job at 5 inches in outside diameter, 3.88 inches wide, on a 2.44 inch bore. Thombert molds the tread from Dyalon A polyurethane, which holds up to the steady rolling load and the occasional impact of floor debris without chunking or developing flat spots.

The wheel arrives as a finished assembly with the 6305 bearing pressed into the hub, so it mounts as a single unit in place of a worn wheel. The wide 3.88 inch face spreads the load across more contact area, which lowers floor pressure and slows tread wear on a truck that runs long shifts.

Thombert documents this wheel as fitting Hyster and Yale lift trucks, which share load wheel dimensions across several of their electric and reach models. Match the 2.44 inch bore to the axle diameter before pressing the wheel on, since a bore cut for a larger or smaller shaft will not seat correctly and will run out of true.
