Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 654-XL-A load wheel assembly?
A: The 654-XL-A is a polyurethane load wheel assembly featuring a 5.00-inch diameter by 3.625-inch width tread with Cushothane XL material. It includes a sealed 62 mm precision ball bearing and cast iron core. The 95A Shore durometer hardness provides wear resistance and floor grip for electric lift truck applications. This assembly is a factory-specification equivalent for Raymond lift trucks.
Q: What equipment is the 654-XL-A compatible with?
A: The 654-XL-A is designed for Raymond 7500-R45TT and 7700-R45TT electric lift trucks. These models use a 62 mm sealed bearing bore interface. Before ordering, verify your lift truck model number matches one of these models. Confirm the nameplate on your truck frame to ensure compatibility.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the 654-XL-A?
A: The 654-XL-A cross-references to Superior S654XL and Superior SUS654-XL-SP wheels. It is equivalent to factory-specification reference number L500654. When ordering replacement wheels, verify your current part number against these cross-references to ensure you are selecting the correct assembly.
Q: What is the tread material and hardness specification?
A: The 654-XL-A features Cushothane XL polyurethane tread at 95A Shore durometer hardness. The 5.000 inch by 3.625 inch dimensions provide good wear resistance and consistent floor grip. The 95A rating is mid-range hardness, suitable for general warehouse and industrial use, and resists flat-spotting during sustained operation.
Q: Does the sealed ball bearing require lubrication or maintenance?
A: No, the sealed precision ball bearing does not require lubrication or routine maintenance. The bearing is preinstalled and sealed. The assembly is ready for use upon receipt. If the bearing develops noise or resistance during operation, the wheel assembly should be replaced.
Q: What does factory-specification reference number L500654 mean?
A: The factory-specification reference number L500654 is the Raymond-designated number for this wheel assembly. If your Raymond lift truck documentation references L500654, you can order the 654-XL-A as a direct replacement. Both numbers refer to the same wheel and bearing assembly.
Q: Is the 654-XL-A available with different bore sizes or bearing types?
A: The 654-XL-A is specifically designed with a 62 mm sealed precision ball bearing bore. If your equipment requires a different bore size, different bearing type, or plain press-fit bore, a different wheel assembly may be required. Verify your equipment specifications before ordering to ensure correct fit.
Q: What are typical reuse or replacement intervals for this wheel assembly?
A: Wheel assemblies typically remain serviceable for 3,000–5,000 operating hours in standard warehouse conditions, depending on load, floor surface, and operating speed. Inspect wheels periodically for tread wear, flat spots, or unusual noise. Replace when tread wear becomes visible or bearing performance degrades. Proper wheel maintenance extends equipment life and ensures operator safety.
