Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the SU S2358 load wheel?
A: The SU S2358 is a load wheel (or idler wheel) manufactured by Superior for use on electric pallet jacks. Load wheels support the weight of the chassis and facilitate steering and stability during normal operation. They are typically positioned at the rear or undercarriage of the jack frame.
Q: Can the SU S2358 be used as a direct replacement on different pallet jack brands?
A: The SU S2358 is an aftermarket wheel designed by Superior for specific electric pallet jack configurations. Before using as a replacement on other brands or models, measure the wheel bore diameter, verify mounting bracket compatibility, and confirm the load rating matches your equipment.
Q: What diagnostic steps should I take if the SU S2358 wheel is not rolling smoothly?
A: First, lift the jack and spin the wheel by hand to check for resistance or grinding. Inspect the axle and bearing for dirt or damage. Check that mounting bolts are tight and not causing binding. If the wheel is damaged, flat-spotted, or cracked, replacement is the only solution. Do not attempt to repair a damaged wheel.
Q: What routine maintenance extends the life of the SU S2358 load wheel?
A: Keep the wheel bearing clean and apply lubricant per your equipment manual. Tighten all mounting bolts every month to prevent loosening. Clean the wheel surface regularly to remove dirt and debris that can accelerate wear. Inspect for cracks or flat spots every quarter. Replace the wheel if damage is visible or rotation becomes restricted.
Q: How frequently should the SU S2358 load wheel be replaced under typical warehouse conditions?
A: Under normal warehouse use with proper maintenance, load wheels typically last 3 to 5 years before requiring replacement. Heavy-use environments with rough floors or overload conditions may require replacement sooner. Inspect wheels quarterly and replace as soon as visible wear, flatness, or damage appears.
