Overview

The Hytile Top Pulley Wheel is a replacement part for the upper pulley on HyTile belt elevators and cable hoists. It guides the belt or rope over the top pulley so the lift tracks straight and runs smoothly. It suits all models in the HyTile range, which makes it a simple spare to keep on hand for hoist maintenance.

The wheel is the contact point that takes the most wear at the top of a lift, because the belt or rope runs over it under load on every cycle. When that wheel wears, the belt can start to track off line and rub on the frame. Replacing it with the correct part keeps the lift running true and avoids the more expensive wear that a misaligned belt causes over time.

Key Features

• Suits all HyTile belt elevators and cable hoists
• Tough polymer construction for site conditions
• Guides the belt or rope over the upper pulley
• Straight swap over the existing shaft and spacers
• Keeps the belt tracking true to avoid wear

Specifications

• Compatibility: standard on all HyTile belt elevators and cable hoists
• Construction: tough polymer composite
• Mounting: shaft and spacers, retained by bolt or pin
• Spacer reference: CA195

Applications

• Replacing a worn pulley wheel on a HyTile belt elevator
• Maintaining HyTile cable hoists
• Roof tile lifting where the belt needs smooth tracking
• Preventative servicing of legacy HyTile units
• Keeping the belt aligned so it does not rub the frame

What You Need to Complete the Job

While servicing the top of the lift, check the stop and go switch at both travel limits. See the Tile Roofing Tools range for other hoist and tiling parts. Note the orientation of the shaft and spacers as you remove the old wheel so the new one goes back the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fit the top pulley wheel?

Remove the securing bolt or pin, slide the old wheel off the shaft, and note the position of the shaft and spacers. Fit the new wheel in the same orientation, replace the spacers, secure it with the original bolt or pin, then run the elevator briefly to check the belt tracks straight across the full travel.

What material is the wheel made from?

The listing describes a tough polymer composite, a high impact nylon or polyurethane style material built to handle concrete and terracotta tile loads on site. The exact polymer blend is not stated, so the copy keeps the description as a tough polymer composite and does not add a specific grade.

Will it fit my older HyTile hoist?

The listing states the pulley suits all HyTile belt elevators and cable hoists, including legacy units. If your hoist uses a different shaft or spacer setup, check the CA195 shaft and spacer reference against your unit before ordering so the wheel sits in the same position as the original.
