Load Wheel
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of load wheel is the SU 233 and what equipment does it fit?
A: The SU 233 is a replacement load wheel for electric lift trucks. Verify compatibility with your specific pallet jack or stacker model before ordering. Cross-reference the wheel diameter, hub bore size, and axle mounting interface. Contact your equipment manufacturer or parts supplier with your jack model and serial number to confirm fitment.
Q: How do I know if my SU 233 wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the SU 233 if you observe flat spots, visible cracking, chunks of tread missing, or uneven wear. If the wheel makes grinding noises, does not spin freely when manually rotated, or produces squeaking sounds, do not operate the jack. Remove the wheel and inspect the bearing for damage or contamination.
Q: Is the SU 233 a complete wheel assembly or just the wheel tread?
A: The SU 233 is a load wheel. If you need a complete assembly with bearings and hub, check for the SU 233-A part number instead. Review your equipment documentation or contact your supplier to determine whether you need the wheel only or the full assembly with bearings and hardware.
Q: Can I install the SU 233 wheel myself?
A: Yes, wheel replacement is typically a field-serviceable task. Secure the jack on level ground and remove the power source. Remove the axle pin holding the wheel, slide off the old wheel, clean the axle shaft, and slide the SU 233 onto the axle. Reinstall the axle pin and locking mechanism. Spin the wheel by hand to ensure smooth rotation before returning to service.
Q: What is the typical load rating for the SU 233 wheel?
A: Load rating varies by wheel diameter, tread material, and bearing type. Consult your equipment manufacturer specifications or the part documentation for the exact load capacity. Do not exceed the rated load capacity as this causes bearing failure and unsafe operation.
Q: How often should I inspect or maintain the SU 233 wheel?
A: Inspect the SU 233 wheel monthly for debris, flat spots, cracks, and bearing noise. Clean quarterly with mild soap and water. Do not use high pressure washers on sealed bearings. Replace the wheel if rotation becomes sluggish or grinding is heard. Record replacement dates and usage hours to track wear patterns.
