Q: What are the complete specifications for the SU S487-XL-A load wheel?

Bore depth: 0.785 inches. Hub width: 2.5 inches. Material: cushothane polyurethane tread bonded to cast iron core. Designed for electric lift truck load wheel applications.
Q: How do I verify the SU S487-XL-A is the correct wheel for my electric lift truck?
A: Locate the wheel or axle assembly on your truck and note the current wheel size printed on the sidewall or stamped on the hub. Cross-reference this with your truck model manual to confirm 8 inch x 2.5 inch is specified. Measure the mounting bore (1.938 inch ID, 2.0467 inch OD) with calipers if documentation is unavailable. Contact your truck manufacturer with the model number if unsure.
Q: What is the installation process for an SU S487-XL-A wheel on an electric pallet truck?
A: Remove the truck from service. If the wheel is bolted, remove the bolts with appropriate hex socket and slide the wheel off. If the wheel is press-fit, use a bearing puller to remove it without damaging the axle. Clean the axle with a cloth. Lubricate the axle lightly with machine oil. Align the new SU S487-XL-A wheel bore with the axle and slide or press it on until fully seated. Verify free rotation and secure any bolts.
Q: What maintenance is required to extend the life of the SU S487-XL-A wheel?
A: Inspect wheels quarterly for tread wear, flat spots, or visible cracks in the cast core. Spin each wheel by hand to confirm smooth, free rotation. Check that mounting bolts (if applicable) are tight. Clean polyurethane tread of grease, oil, or debris, which can soften the material. Lubricate wheel bearings per manufacturer schedule. Maintain proper truck load capacity to prevent premature tread failure. Replace in sets when one wheel shows significant wear.
