Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -A suffix mean on the SU S9862-A part number?
A: The -A designation indicates this is a complete wheel assembly. The SU S9862-A includes the load wheel, axle, bearings, snap rings, and all mounting hardware needed for installation. This is the best choice if your axle is bent, bearing is worn, or you want a ready-to-install solution.
Q: When should I order SU S9862-A instead of just the SU S9862 wheel?
A: Order the SU S9862-A assembly if your axle is bent or rusted, if the bearing does not spin freely, or if multiple internal components are worn. If only the rubber wheel is damaged and your axle and bearing are good, the SU S9862 wheel alone is sufficient and more economical. Inspect the axle and bearing before deciding which part to order.
Q: Is the SU S9862-A a drop-in replacement or does installation require modification?
A: The SU S9862-A is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement on compatible Raymond, Hyster, and Toyota electric pallet jacks. Remove the fasteners holding the old assembly, unbolt the axle from the machine frame, and bolt in the new assembly. Standard wrenches and sockets are all you need. No drilling, cutting, or welding required.
Q: Does the SU S9862-A come pre-greased or do I need to lubricate it before use?
A: The SU S9862-A is pre-assembled and pre-lubricated. Do not over-grease the bearing; excess grease generates heat and damages the seal. Spin the wheel by hand to verify free movement. If it feels stiff or makes noise, the bearing may be defective; contact us for replacement.
Q: What is the average downtime to swap out the SU S9862-A assembly?
A: Replacing a complete wheel assembly typically takes 15-30 minutes per side, assuming the machine is on a lift and bolts are not corroded. Total downtime is usually 30-60 minutes for both wheels. Have wrenches and a parts cart ready to minimize idle time. If bolts are seized, allow extra time for penetrating oil and heat.
Q: Does the SU S9862-A fit both front and rear wheel locations?
A: The SU S9862-A is designed for load wheel (rear axle) locations on the machine. Verify your machine design; some jacks use different wheel sizes front and rear. Do not assume the same assembly works everywhere. Cross-reference your machine blueprint or contact us with your model to confirm correct wheel position and part number.
