Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU 9820 and SU 9820-A?
A: The SU 9820 is the load wheel only, while the SU 9820-A is a complete assembly including the wheel, bearings, and mounting hardware. Order the SU 9820 if you need to replace just the wheel element on an existing axle or assembly. Order the SU 9820-A for a full replacement unit.
Q: Can I install the SU 9820 load wheel on my existing axle?
A: Yes, if your axle is 20 mm diameter and in good condition. Slide the wheel onto the axle, ensure it seats fully, and secure with the appropriate retaining clip or nut. The wheel should spin freely with no wobble. If the axle is corroded, scored, or damaged, replace the entire assembly rather than the wheel alone.
Q: What material is the SU 9820 wheel made from?
A: The SU 9820 is a polyurethane tread wheel bonded to a steel core. Polyurethane provides good traction, durability, and floor protection compared to rubber or nylon alternatives. The steel core adds strength for heavy load applications typical in material handling.
Q: How do I measure if the SU 9820 is the correct size for my truck?
A: Measure the diameter of your current wheel from edge to edge. The SU 9820 has a 3.25-inch outer diameter. Also measure the axle hole diameter, which should be 20 mm. If either dimension does not match, the SU 9820 is not compatible.
Q: What is the lifespan of the SU 9820 wheel?
A: Under normal use, the SU 9820 lasts 18 to 36 months. Heavy use, rough floors, and high mileage reduce lifespan. Inspect every six months. Replace when tread depth reduces below 50 percent, or when cracking, flat spots, or delamination appear. Worn wheels reduce load capacity and increase energy consumption.
