Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does SU S242-A come pre-assembled and ready to install?
A: Yes, SU S242-A is a complete load wheel assembly. It includes the wheel body, bearings, and mounting hardware pre-installed. You can mount it directly to your lift trucks axle without additional assembly. Simply slide it onto the axle and secure with the fastener.
Q: What bearing size is included in the SU S242-A assembly?
A: The SU S242-A includes bearings sized for Superior lift truck axles. Standard assembly uses 25mm bore bearings. If your truck has a non-standard axle size, verify compatibility before ordering. Measure your existing axle diameter to confirm fit.
Q: Can I replace just the wheel on an SU S242-A assembly or must I replace the entire unit?
A: If only the tread is worn and the bearing is still good, you must replace the entire SU S242-A assembly. The wheel is bonded to the hub and cannot be separated. However, you can reuse the bearings on a new assembly if they spin smoothly and show no wear.
Q: What is the installation process for SU S242-A on a Superior lift truck?
A: Remove the axle pin or nut holding the old wheel. Slide the old assembly off the axle. Insert the SU S242-A onto the axle and align with the wheel mounting point. Reinstall the axle pin or nut and tighten securely. Spin the wheel by hand to ensure it moves freely without noise or wobble.
Q: How do I diagnose if my SU S242-A assembly has a failed bearing?
A: Lift the truck and spin the wheel by hand. A good bearing spins freely for several rotations and stops smoothly. A failed bearing will feel gritty, make grinding noise, or stop abruptly. Check for play by grasping the wheel rim and attempting to move it side to side. Any movement indicates bearing wear. Replace the assembly if the bearing is compromised.
