Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the SU 820-EZ wheel?
A: The EZ designation typically indicates a simplified or easy-installation design. Verify with the manufacturer whether this wheel has reduced hub diameter, standard bearing bore, or special mounting features that differ from the base SU 820 model. Always confirm dimensional compatibility before ordering as a replacement.
Q: Can I use the SU 820-EZ as a direct replacement for the standard SU 820?
A: Not necessarily. The EZ variant may have different bearing bore, hub design, or mounting features. Check your lift truck specification sheet and the old wheel part number before substituting. Mixing wheel types on the same truck can cause uneven load distribution and instability. Always match all four wheels to the same specification.
Q: What is the installation procedure for the SU 820-EZ wheel?
A: The EZ designation suggests simplified installation, but the exact steps depend on hub design and bearing type. Consult the product datasheet for bearing bore diameter, axle shaft compatibility, and torque specifications. Ensure the wheel rotates freely after installation. Do not force the wheel onto the axle if it does not slide easily.
Q: How do I diagnose problems with the SU 820-EZ wheel?
A: Check for uneven tread wear, which may indicate misalignment or a bent axle. Listen for grinding or squealing during operation, which suggests bearing damage. Inspect for tread separation, flat spots, or sidewall cracking. Test wheel runout by spinning it by hand and watching for wobble. Any of these symptoms require wheel replacement.
Q: Is the SU 820-EZ rated for the same 2,000 lbs load capacity as SU 820?
A: Confirm the load rating in the product specification sheet for your SU 820-EZ variant. Do not assume it matches the standard SU 820. The EZ model may have design changes that affect load capacity. Exceeding the rated capacity will accelerate tread wear and bearing failure.
Q: What maintenance schedule should I follow for the SU 820-EZ?
A: Inspect monthly for tread condition and free rotation. Clean tread regularly to remove debris. Do not over-lubricate the bearing area as this can attract dirt. Check wheel alignment quarterly to prevent uneven wear. Replace the wheel when tread is worn smooth or if the bearing no longer turns freely.
