Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SU S242 load wheel used for?
A: The SU S242 is a load wheel designed for electric lift truck applications. It is installed on the front axle assembly of pallet jacks and electric hand trucks to provide directional control and load support during material handling operations.

A: The SU S242 is compatible with multiple OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, and Linde electric lift trucks. Always verify your lift truck model and serial range before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: How do I know if my SU S242 load wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the SU S242 if you observe flat spots, uneven wear, visible cracks in the tread, loss of grip causing steering difficulty, or excessive play in the wheel bearing. A worn load wheel will cause the truck to pull to one side during operation.
Q: Is the SU S242 a plug-and-play replacement?
A: Yes, the SU S242 is a direct bolt-on replacement. No modifications are needed. Remove the cotter pin and axle bolt from the old wheel, slide off the old wheel, and install the new SU S242 using the same fasteners. Ensure the wheel spins freely with no binding before returning the truck to service.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for the SU S242?
A: The SU S242 load rating depends on the lift truck model it is installed on. Load wheels are non-load-bearing in the vertical direction; all load capacity is provided by the load rollers. Refer to your lift trucks technical manual for overall capacity specifications.
