Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is SU S2344 compatible with Toyota 8FGU and Mitsubishi FG25 lift trucks?
A: SU S2344 is a direct replacement load wheel for Toyota 8FGU models. For Mitsubishi FG25, verify the center bore diameter and load rating before purchasing. Some FG25 variants use a 20mm bore while SU S2344 uses 17mm. Always check your truck manual or existing wheel specifications before ordering.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity and tire width of SU S2344?
A: SU S2344 load wheel is rated for 1200 lbs per wheel in dual configuration and 2400 lbs in single-wheel application. Tire width is 6.5 inches with a 15 inch outer diameter. Do not exceed these load limits or tire failure and steering damage will result.
Q: Can I replace a flat SU S2344 wheel without removing the entire steering axle?
A: Yes. Most Toyota 8FGU trucks allow side-wheel replacement without axle removal. Lift the truck on jack stands, remove the 4x cotter pins holding the wheel hub cap, slide the wheel off the axle stud, and install the new SU S2344 wheel. Use a torque wrench to tighten hub cap bolts to 45-50 foot-pounds. Reinsert cotter pins and verify wheel spins freely.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of an SU S2344 load wheel in warehouse operation?
A: Under normal 8-hour shift warehouse conditions with flat concrete, SU S2344 wheels last 18-24 months before tread depth becomes unsafe (tread wears below 3/16 inch). In high-friction outdoor or yard conditions, lifespan drops to 12-16 months. Inspect wheels monthly for cuts, flat spots, and cracks. Replace immediately if sidewall damage is visible.
Q: Does SU S2344 fit the same axle studs as the older Yale L878 wheel?
A: No. Yale L878 uses 5/8 inch studs with 1.25 inch center bore, while SU S2344 uses 3/4 inch studs with 17mm bore. If your truck originally had L878 wheels, you will need to replace axle studs and bearing cups before installing SU S2344. This is not a plug-and-play swap. Contact a certified lift truck technician for axle modification.
Q: Can I mix SU S2344 wheels with a different brand load wheel on the same truck?
A: No. Always use matching wheels across all positions (front and rear). Mixing wheel brands or tread patterns creates steering instability and uneven wear. If you are replacing only damaged wheels, replace all four wheels at the same time. Using mismatched wheels voids the truck lift warranty and increases accident risk.
