Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean for the SU 653-EZ load wheel?
A: The EZ designation indicates an easy-installation or simplified component design. The SU 653-EZ features the same 5 inch diameter x 2.875 inch width specifications as the standard SU 653, with Cushothane XL material and pre-sealed bearing design for straightforward retrofit installation.
Q: What are the complete specifications and measurements of the SU 653-EZ?
A: Outside diameter is 5.000 inches (127.00 mm). Width is 2.875 inches (73.02 mm). Inside bore diameter is 1.87 inches. Tread profile is 3/8 inch radius. Bore depth is 0.591 inches and bore outside diameter is 2.045 inches. Material is Cushothane XL industrial-grade polyurethane.
Q: Can I use the SU 653-EZ as a direct replacement for my existing load wheel?
A: Yes, if your existing wheel has matching bore diameter (1.87 inches), bore depth (0.591 inches), and width (2.875 inches). The SU 653-EZ is designed for direct installation onto existing bearing cartridges and hubs. Verify measurements before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: Is the SU 653-EZ suitable for wet, cold, or debris-prone storage areas?
A: Yes. The SU 653-EZ is constructed from Cushothane XL, an industrial-grade non-marking polyurethane rated for wet, cold, and debris-prone environments. Sealed bearing design protects against moisture and contaminants, making it ideal for harsh storage conditions.
Q: What is the Shore hardness and load capacity of the SU 653-EZ?
A: The SU 653-EZ uses Cushothane XL compound at Shore 95A hardness (standard industrial rating). Load capacity is determined by your lift truck model, axle rating, and application. Consult your equipment manual for maximum load specifications; the wheel itself supports heavy load transfer in industrial settings.
Q: Do I need to replace the bearings when installing the SU 653-EZ?
A: No. The SU 653-EZ comes with pre-installed sealed bearings in the wheel hub. You can install it directly onto your existing axle without removing or replacing the bearings in your fork or lift mechanism. If existing bearings are damaged, replace them before installing the SU 653-EZ.
