Product Description
The YL524251411 drive tire assembly is an aftermarket drive wheel designed for Yale electric pallet trucks (models MPB 040 E and MPW 045 E). This assembly features a smooth, flat-tread rubber tire mounted on its hub, ready to install.
It directly replaces the original drive wheel on the pallet truck, restoring traction and drive performance. The tire’s rubber compound provides a good grip on warehouse floors, and the flat tread maximizes contact area for stable movement. With the hub included, this drive tire assembly makes it easy to swap out a worn or damaged drive wheel and get the Yale pallet truck rolling reliably again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does this drive tire have a smooth, flat tread design?
A: The smooth, flat tread is intentional for indoor pallet trucks. Smooth tires maximize the contact area with the floor, providing excellent traction on clean, dry surfaces typically found in warehouses. Unlike an automobile tire, a pallet truck doesn’t need deep tread for traction on rough terrain; instead, a flat tread spreads the load and grips the flat floor. This design also minimizes wear on both the tire and the floor – there are no protruding lugs or patterns that could scrape the concrete. Smooth tires are ideal for warehouses because they provide a stable, solid contact patch and a quiet ride. (However, it’s worth noting that in wet or slick conditions, even a smooth tire can slip, so caution is needed if there’s any liquid on the floor.)
Q: Can I replace just the rubber tire, or do I need to replace the entire assembly, including the hub?
A: In most cases with this type of part, you replace the entire drive tire assembly (rubber tire + hub together) rather than trying to separate the rubber from the hub. The tire is press-fit or bonded onto the hub very tightly. Removing an old tire and pressing a new one onto the hub requires special equipment (a press and proper tooling) and can be quite difficult in the field. That’s why the replacement part is sold as a complete assembly – it arrives with the rubber tire already mounted on a new hub. This way, you can simply swap out the old wheel for the new one. It ensures the tire is properly seated and balanced.
Q: Can a drive tire swell in the presence of common warehouse solvents?
A: Rubber absorbs hydrocarbon-based solvents. Swelling increases the diameter and alters the gear reduction ratio, stressing the motor windings. After spill events, rinse the tire and inspect the diameter against the service manual. A chemically resistant replacement tire helps mitigate this risk, but maintaining good spill control practices remains the primary defense.
Q: How does the drive tire assembly impact the pallet truck’s overall performance?
A: The drive tire assembly plays a crucial role in overall performance because it’s where the “rubber meets the road.” If the drive tire is in good condition, the pallet truck can translate the motor’s power into movement efficiently. This means proper speed and acceleration when moving pallets around.
