Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the SU 671 load wheel?
A: The SU 671 is a standard load wheel designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Exact diameter, width, material, and bearing specifications are determined by your lift truck model. Verify your truck documentation or measure the existing wheel before ordering to ensure correct dimensions and fitment.
Q: Is the SU 671 available as a complete wheel assembly or as a wheel-only replacement?
A: The SU 671 is typically available as a wheel-only component. If you need a complete assembly with hub and bearings, the SU 671-A is the assembly version. Confirm with your supplier whether you need just the wheel or the full assembly. Installing a wheel-only component requires removing and reusing the existing hub and bearings from the old wheel.
Q: How do I know if I need to replace just the wheel or the entire SU 671-A assembly?
A: Replace the wheel-only (SU 671) if the existing hub and bearings are in good condition and the wheel spins freely with no noise. Replace the complete assembly (SU 671-A) if the hub is bent, bearings are damaged, or the wheel cannot be separated safely from the hub. A grinding or squeaking noise indicates bearing wear, requiring full assembly replacement.
Q: What tread material does the SU 671 load wheel use?
A: The tread material for the SU 671 depends on your truck model and specifications. Common materials are polyurethane, nylon, or elastomer compounds. Check your truck manual or the existing wheel to identify the current tread material. Replacing with the same material maintains performance consistency. Cross-referencing with equivalent part numbers confirms you are ordering the correct compound.
Q: Can the SU 671 wheel be used as a front or rear wheel interchangeably on an electric lift truck?
A: Some lift truck models use identical front and rear wheels, while others use different sizes or materials. The SU 671 is engineered for a specific position on your truck. Confirm your truck documentation to verify if the SU 671 is rated for front, rear, or both positions. Installing the wrong wheel in the wrong position can affect steering and load stability.
