Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SU 2344 load wheel designed for?
A: The SU 2344 is a replacement load wheel for electric lift trucks. Before purchasing, verify your equipment model and serial number against the manufacturer cross-reference to confirm compatibility. Check that the wheel diameter, hub bore, and axle interface match your specific lift truck specifications.
Q: Can I use the SU 2344 as a substitute for other brand load wheels?
A: The SU 2344 is designed for specific lift truck models. Do not assume cross-compatibility without verifying wheel diameter, tread material, hub bore size, and bearing configuration. If you need an equivalent wheel from another supplier, confirm all physical dimensions and load ratings match. Contact your parts supplier or equipment manufacturer for approved substitutes.
Q: How often should the SU 2344 wheel be inspected?
A: Inspect the SU 2344 wheel monthly for flat spots, cracks, debris embedded in the tread, and bearing noise during operation. Clean the wheel and hub quarterly with mild soap and water. Do not use high pressure washers. If the wheel does not rotate smoothly or produces grinding sounds, remove the lift truck from service and replace the wheel or assembly.
Q: What signs indicate that the SU 2344 wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the SU 2344 if you observe tread depth loss greater than 25 percent, visible cracking, flat spots, chunks missing from the tread, or if the wheel does not spin freely. Squeaking, grinding, or resistance to manual rotation indicates bearing wear. Do not delay replacement as continued operation risks equipment damage and unsafe handling conditions.
Q: Is the SU 2344 a complete assembly or wheel only?
A: The SU 2344 is a load wheel. If you need a complete assembly with bearings, hub, and all components pre-assembled, check for the SU 2344-A part number. Review your lift truck documentation or contact your supplier to determine whether you need wheel tread only or a full assembly.
Q: What tools do I need to replace the SU 2344 wheel?
A: Replacement typically requires only basic hand tools: a wrench or socket for the axle pin fastener and possibly a block or jack stand to safely lift the truck. Do not use power tools near sealed bearings. Always secure the lift truck on level, stable ground before removing wheels. Refer to your equipment manual for specific tool requirements.
