Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SU S9186-XL-A?
A: SU S9186-XL-A is a complete load wheel assembly designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. The assembly includes the polyurethane wheel, steel hub, precision bore, and all components required for installation. It is ready to install once you remove the old assembly from the axle.
Q: Is SU S9186-XL-A a direct replacement or does it require modification?
A: SU S9186-XL-A is a direct replacement assembly that does not require modification. Lower the jack, remove the axle bolt and retaining clip, slide off the old assembly, and slide SU S9186-XL-A onto the axle. Reinstall the retaining clip and axle bolt. No cutting, welding, or bore adjustment is needed if your original axle is in good condition.
Q: How do I know if SU S9186-XL-A fits my jack model?
A: Verify compatibility by confirming your jacks OEM part number against your documentation or the existing wheel assembly. Cross-reference the OEM number to SU S9186-XL-A. If unsure, measure the axle diameter, wheel bore, wheel outer diameter, and width of your existing assembly and compare to the specs for SU S9186-XL-A. Contact your parts supplier if you need clarification.
Q: What maintenance does SU S9186-XL-A require?
A: Inspect wheels weekly for cracks, flat spots, uneven wear, and foreign material buildup. Clean the wheel tread with a damp cloth to remove dust and oils. Rotate wheels side-to-side every 200 hours to promote even wear. Replace the assembly when tread depth falls below 1/8 inch, or when the wheel no longer tracks straight, typically after 2 to 3 years of daily use.
Q: What is the load capacity for SU S9186-XL-A?
A: Load capacity depends on your specific jack model and how many wheels support the load. Do not exceed the maximum load rating printed on the jack nameplate. SU S9186-XL-A must be used in matched sets of four wheels. Installing wheels rated for a lower capacity than your jack can compromise safety and cause premature failure.
Q: Can SU S9186-XL-A be used on wet floors or in cold storage?
A: SU S9186-XL-A is a standard polyurethane load wheel assembly. For wet floors or cold storage environments below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, request a product with the -EZ designation. The -EZ High Traction polyurethane compound is engineered specifically for wet and slippery surfaces and provides improved traction and grip in cold conditions.
