Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of component is the SU 249?
A: The SU 249 is a load wheel replacement component designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. It serves as a rolling support wheel on the base assembly. Contact us with your equipment serial number or model to confirm exact fitment and specifications for your jack.
Q: How do I determine if the SU 249 is compatible with my pallet jack?
A: The SU 249 is designed for specific electric lift truck models. Verify compatibility by: checking your current wheel part number against the SU 249, confirming your jack model and serial range, or contacting us with your equipment details. Do not assume interchangeability with other wheel SKUs without verification.
Q: What are the failure symptoms that indicate the SU 249 needs replacement?
A: Replace the SU 249 if you experience: uneven jack steering or pulling to one side, squeaking or grinding noises during operation, restricted wheel rotation or the wheel locking up, visible cracks, flat spots, or chunks missing from the wheel, or excessive side-to-side play on the axle. These symptoms indicate wheel wear or bearing failure.
Q: Is the SU 249 a press-on or hub-mounted load wheel?
A: The mounting style of the SU 249 depends on your equipment design. Some electric jacks use press-on wheels; others use bore-mounted wheels with axle pins or set screws. Verify the mounting method for your jack before installation. We can confirm the exact installation procedure when you provide your equipment model and serial information.
Q: How often should the SU 249 load wheel be inspected?
A: Inspect the SU 249 wheel monthly during routine equipment maintenance. Check for deformation, cracks, or debris lodged in the tread. Test wheel rotation by hand to ensure smooth, free movement. Early detection of wear extends equipment life and prevents sudden jack failure during operation.
