Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications for SU S249 load wheel?
A: SU S249 is a load wheel designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Exact dimensions, bore diameter, and material type should be verified with the parts supplier or your lift truck manual before ordering. Measure your current wheel and compare specifications to ensure proper fitment on your equipment.
Q: Is SU S249 a direct replacement for my current wheel, or do I need to verify compatibility first?
A: Do not assume SU S249 is compatible without verification. Load wheels come in many sizes. Measure your existing wheel outside diameter, width, bore diameter, and bore depth. Compare these measurements to SU S249 specifications. If any dimension does not match, SU S249 will not fit or will cause steering and performance issues.
Q: Should I order SU S249 alone or SU S249-A assembly?
A: Order SU S249 if you have a hub assembly in good condition and can reuse it. Order SU S249-A if you need a complete wheel assembly with hub and fasteners ready to install. If your hub bore is damaged, cracked, or enlarged, you must order the assembly model to ensure proper fitment.
Q: Can SU S249 be used on the same lift truck as SU S248-XL wheels?
A: No. Do not mix different wheel models on the same axle or lift truck. SU S248-XL and SU S249 are different sizes. Using mismatched wheels causes steering drift, uneven wear, and can damage the lift truck frame and suspension. Replace all load wheels on both sides of the axle with the same model.
Q: How often should SU S249 be inspected for wear, and what are signs of failure?
A: Inspect SU S249 weekly if the lift truck is used daily. Check for flat spots, cracks in the wheel material, or separation between the wheel and hub. If the wheel is noticeably smaller than when new or wobbles on the axle, replacement is due. Do not continue operating a worn or damaged wheel; it can fail suddenly and cause loss of vehicle control.
Q: What material is SU S249 made from, and how does it perform on different floor types?
A: Verify the material type with the parts supplier before purchase. Common load wheel materials are polyurethane, Cushothane, or solid rubber. Each material has different wear rates on smooth concrete, textured floors, outdoors, or wet areas. Match the wheel material to your facility conditions to maximize service life and ensure optimal handling.
