SU S9809

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the SU S9809 load wheel?
A: The SU S9809 has an outside diameter of 3.25 inches (82.55 mm) and a width of 6 inches (152.4 mm). The wheel features a polyurethane tread bonded to a steel hub. This dimension is a standard load wheel size for many electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. Always verify your existing wheel diameter and width before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Q: What is the material composition of the SU S9809 wheel?
A: The SU S9809 features a polyurethane tread bonded to a steel hub. The polyurethane compound provides good grip on concrete and smooth floors, while the steel hub ensures durability and a tight bond to the axle. This combination is suitable for standard indoor material handling. The wheel does not include bearings; it mounts directly onto the axle bore.

Q: What electric pallet jack models are compatible with the SU S9809?
A: The SU S9809 fits many Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich electric lift trucks and pallet jacks that use a 3.25 inch diameter load wheel. Always verify your truck model, serial range, and axle bore size before ordering. Wheel fitment also depends on hub width and bore configuration; an incorrect bore fit will cause the wheel to come loose during operation.

Q: How long does the SU S9809 polyurethane tread last?
A: Tread life for the SU S9809 depends on floor surface, load weight, and operating hours. On clean, smooth concrete floors with standard pallet jack loads (typically 2,500-4,000 lbs), expect 1,500 to 2,500 operating hours before visible wear. Rough or outdoor floors reduce life to 800-1,200 hours. Replace the wheel when tread flat spots develop, chunks separate, or the wheel loses roundness.

Q: Can I use the SU S9809 on wet floors or cold storage environments?
A: The SU S9809 uses standard polyurethane and works adequately on slightly damp indoor floors. However, for consistently wet areas or cold storage below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the wheel becomes hard and traction decreases significantly. If your application involves wet floors, freezers, or cold docks, request a wheel with high traction polyurethane compound designed for those conditions. Contact us to identify the correct specification for your environment.

Q: What is the load rating for the SU S9809 wheel?
A: The SU S9809 wheel rating is determined by your truck model and total load capacity, distributed across all wheels. A typical 2,500-lb electric pallet jack with 4 load wheels carries approximately 625 lbs per wheel. For accurate load rating and to confirm the SU S9809 is rated for your truck, contact us with your equipment model and serial number.
