Load Wheel Assembly Hyster, HY389630-A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HY 389630-A load wheel assembly and how does it differ from the HY 389630?
A: The HY 389630-A is an OEM load wheel assembly for Hyster electric lift trucks. The A-suffix designation indicates a variant configuration, typically differing in bearing arrangement, axle bore size, or tread material from the standard HY 389630. Verify the specific configuration needed for your model before ordering.
Q: Which Hyster models use the HY 389630-A load wheel assembly?
A: The HY 389630-A is designed for select Hyster electric pallet jacks and lift truck models. Confirm your exact model number and check the OEM parts diagram to verify that the -A variant (not the standard HY 389630) is correct for your equipment.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a load wheel assembly before replacement?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on duty cycle, flooring type, and maintenance. In standard warehouse conditions, a polyurethane load wheel typically lasts 12 to 36 months. High-traffic areas, uneven floors, or poor bearing lubrication can reduce this significantly. Replace the wheel when tread is worn flat, if the bearing is noisy or loose, or if the hub is cracked.
Q: Can the HY 389630-A be used as a direct replacement for the HY 389630?
A: No. The HY 389630-A and HY 389630 are different configurations. Do not substitute one for the other. Always verify that the -A variant is specified in your OEM parts diagram before ordering. Using the wrong load wheel configuration can affect steering response and wheel wear.
