Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU S2344 and SU S2350 load wheels?
A: SU S2350 has a larger overall diameter (16 inches versus 15 inches) and higher load rating (1500 lbs per wheel versus 1200 lbs). SU S2350 also features a softer compound tire for outdoor concrete and asphalt. Do not assume cross-compatibility without verifying axle bore and stud specifications with your lift truck manual.
Q: Can I install SU S2350 on a Toyota 8FDU truck originally equipped with smaller 14 inch wheels?
A: No. Increasing wheel diameter from 14 to 16 inches changes the steering geometry and load distribution. This results in reduced tilt capacity and altered load center. The mast may contact the larger wheel during full tilt. Do not attempt this upgrade. Contact Toyota parts support to confirm compatible wheel sizes for your specific serial range.
Q: What causes premature wear on SU S2350 wheels and how can I extend their lifespan?
A: Premature wear is caused by overloading beyond 1500 lbs per wheel, insufficient tire pressure (below 50 psi), and extended operation on hot surfaces. To extend lifespan: check tire pressure weekly, rotate wheels every 6 months, avoid loads over rated capacity, and ensure concrete floors are clean of sharp debris. Well-maintained SU S2350 wheels can reach 30+ months lifespan.
Q: Is SU S2350 suitable for outdoor yard operation on gravel and uneven surfaces?
A: SU S2350 is rated for outdoor use but not recommended for continuous gravel operation. The softer tire compound wears rapidly and can puncture on sharp stones. Lifespan drops to 8-12 months on gravel yards. For dedicated outdoor yard trucks, consider harder-compound industrial all-terrain wheels instead. If using SU S2350 outdoors, inspect tires weekly for cuts and stones lodged in tread.
Q: Does SU S2350 require different bearing grease than standard load wheels?
A: No. SU S2350 accepts the same NLGI Grade 2 lithium grease as all other load wheels. Use Mobil EP2, Shell Alvania 2, or equivalent ISO VG 150 lithium complex grease. Do not use waterproof NLGI Grade 3 grease as it is too thick and causes bearing drag. Repack wheel bearings every 12 months or 1500 service hours in warm climates.
