SU S9531-A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the specific application for the SU S9531-A load wheel assembly?
A: The SU S9531-A is a load wheel assembly specifically designed for select compatible electric walkie vehicles. It features a 2.50 inch diameter by 3.25 inch width with polyurethane tread bonded to a steel core, engineered for the lighter load profiles and steering characteristics of walkie forklifts compared to ride-on equipment.

Q: Can I use SU S9531-A wheels on my ride-on electric lift truck, or only walkie vehicles?
A: No. The SU S9531-A is engineered specifically for select electric walkie vehicles and is not interchangeable with ride-on truck wheels. Install only on equipment compatible with the SU S9531-A designation. Using walkie wheels on ride-on trucks or vice versa will result in poor handling and possible carriage damage. Verify your equipment type before ordering.

Q: What is the core material and polyurethane tread specification for the SU S9531-A?
A: The SU S9531-A has a machined steel core with high-durability polyurethane tread bonded to the core. The core material provides strength and load capacity while the bonded polyurethane tread delivers traction and wear resistance. The assembly is designed for enhanced durability under typical walkie pallet truck loading conditions.

Q: How do I diagnose a worn or damaged SU S9531-A load wheel?
A: Inspect for tread wear, visible cracking in the polyurethane, or separation of the tread from the steel core. Check if the wheel has flat spots or if the carriage binds during operation. If tread thickness drops below 50 percent of original depth, or if you observe peeling or deep cracks, replace the wheel immediately to maintain safe handling and load capacity.

Q: What is the difference in load capacity between SU S9531 and SU S9531-A?
A: The SU S9531 is rated for ride-on lift truck loads, while the SU S9531-A is rated for lower walkie vehicle loads. Do not exceed the load rating for your specific vehicle. Consult your walkie vehicle documentation for maximum load capacity, and contact our parts team if you have questions about load ratings for the SU S9531-A.

Q: How do I install the SU S9531-A on my electric walkie vehicle?
A: Remove the old load wheel by unbolting or unpinning from the carriage axle. Align the SU S9531-A with the axle and carriage guides, then bolt or pin it in place. Ensure the wheel rotates freely and is seated properly in the carriage before operating. Follow your vehicle manual for any specific torque or fastener requirements for your walkie model.
