Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications for the SU S231 load wheel?
A: The SU S231-A is a polyurethane load wheel designed for electric lift truck applications. It features a greaseable bearing that is pre-pressed into the wheel assembly. The polyurethane tread provides durable, non-marking performance in general warehouse and material handling environments.

Q: Which electric lift truck brands is the SU S231 compatible with?
A: The SU S231 load wheel is compatible with electric lift trucks from major OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Verify your equipment model and serial number to confirm wheel mounting diameter and bore size match before ordering.

Q: How do I replace the SU S231 load wheel on my electric lift truck?
A: To replace the SU S231, lift the equipment safely and support it on blocks. Remove the old wheel by unbolting or pressing it off the axle. Press or bolt the new SU S231 wheel onto the axle, ensuring it seats fully. Verify the wheel rotates freely and does not contact the truck frame or mast before returning to service.

Q: Does the SU S231 load wheel require maintenance?
A: Yes, the SU S231 features a greaseable bearing. Apply general-purpose bearing grease periodically to extend wheel life. Inspect the polyurethane tread for wear, cracks, or debris buildup. Clean with mild soap and water if needed. Replace when tread depth becomes uneven or the wheel no longer rotates smoothly.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of the SU S231 polyurethane load wheel?
A: Lifespan depends on load weight, floor conditions, and usage intensity. In typical warehouse applications with moderate loads and smooth floors, the SU S231 typically lasts 1 to 3 years before requiring replacement. Rough or outdoor floors, high-speed operation, or heavy loads reduce lifespan. Regular maintenance extends service life.
