Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SU 9186-XL-A and what equipment does it fit?
A: SU 9186-XL-A is a load wheel assembly designed for XL-class electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. It is a complete preassembled unit that replaces the entire wheel mounting. Always verify your lift truck model and serial range before ordering to ensure fitment compatibility with your equipment.
Q: Is the SU 9186-XL-A a direct replacement or does it require modification?
A: SU 9186-XL-A is a direct replacement assembly for compatible XL-class models. No modification to the frame or mounting hardware is required on properly maintained equipment. Inspect the mounting surface for wear or damage before installation. If the mounting bore shows scoring or enlargement, you may need to rebore or use a larger pin.
Q: How do I know when the SU 9186-XL-A load wheel assembly needs replacement?
A: Replace the assembly when you observe flat-spotted or severely worn tread, play or wobble in the wheel, unusual noise during operation, or visible cracks in the wheel body. If the assembly does not roll freely by hand after removing the load, the bearing is likely seized and replacement is necessary.
Q: What tools are required to install the SU 9186-XL-A assembly?
A: You will need a standard socket set, snap ring pliers if equipped, and a press or bearing puller if removing the old assembly. Most installations use an appropriate pin or fastener to secure the assembly axle. Refer to your lift truck manual for torque specifications and pin sizing, which varies by model year.
Q: What load rating and tire dimensions does the SU 9186-XL-A have?
A: Consult the OEM nameplate or manual for the exact load rating and wheel diameter specifications, as these vary by lift truck model and configuration. The assembly is designed for the full rated capacity of your XL-class truck when properly maintained. Do not exceed the truck nameplate capacity.
