Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material and durometer of SU 2365 and why does it matter?
A: SU 2365 is a polyurethane wheel with Cushothane XL material and 95A durometer rating. The 95A durometer provides firm traction and load support while absorbing minor floor vibrations. This durometer is standard for warehouse and manufacturing electric lift trucks. Softer wheels (85A-90A) offer more cushioning but wear faster on rough concrete; harder wheels (98A+) reduce cushioning and increase floor noise.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of SU 2365 and how do I verify fitment?
A: SU 2365 dimensions are: 3.250 inch outside diameter, 4.500 inch width, 1.938 inch inside diameter, 2.0467 inch bore outside diameter, and 0.593 inch bore depth (metric: 82.55mm x 114.30mm). Before purchasing, remove your existing wheel and measure outside diameter, width, and bore hole size. If any measurement differs by more than 0.050 inch, contact the supplier to confirm the correct part number.
Q: Can I use SU 2365 as a replacement for a worn wheel with the same dimensions?
A: Yes, if dimensions match exactly. However, verify that the original wheel was also 95A Cushothane XL. If the worn wheel was a different durometer or material, SU 2365 may change handling, floor contact, or load distribution on your lift truck. Test SU 2365 in low-traffic areas first to confirm performance before installing it on all load wheels.
Q: How long does SU 2365 typically last and what are signs it needs replacement?
A: SU 2365 lifespan is 12-24 months under normal warehouse duty, depending on floor surface and load intensity. Replace the wheel when tread becomes smooth (no texture visible), when visible cracks or chunks are missing from the tread, or when the wheel diameter has worn down more than 0.125 inch. Worn wheels reduce traction, increase floor noise, and cause steering pull.
Q: What is the maximum load SU 2365 supports and what happens if it is overloaded?
A: Load capacity depends on your lift truck model and the full wheel assembly configuration. Do not exceed the nameplate load rating on your truck. Overloading causes the polyurethane tread to flatten, reducing traction and causing the wheel to slip sideways. Extreme overload can cause hub cracking and bearing failure, creating a safety hazard.
Q: Does SU 2365 require special maintenance or storage?
A: Store SU 2365 away from direct sunlight and extreme heat (above 140°F), as polyurethane degrades when exposed to UV light and high temperatures. Before installation, inspect the wheel for cracks or discoloration. After installation, rotate wheels every 6 months if the lift truck sits idle for extended periods to prevent flat spots. Inspect bearing preload and lubrication during routine maintenance.
