Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the SU S359 load wheel?
A: The SU S359 is a load wheel assembly designed for electric lift trucks. Complete dimensional and material specifications are available through the full product datasheet. Contact your parts supplier with the SKU SU S359 to obtain detailed bore diameter, width, outer diameter, tread material, and load rating information for your specific truck model and serial range.
Q: How do I determine if I need the SU S359 wheel or the SU S359-A assembly?
A: The SU S359 is the wheel only. The SU S359-A is the complete assembly including the wheel, bearing, snap ring, and any hub components. If you are replacing just a wheel on an existing axle with good bearings, order SU S359. If the bearing is damaged, worn, or you want a complete pre-assembled replacement, order SU S359-A to save installation time.
Q: Can I install a SU S359 wheel on a truck that originally had a different wheel SKU?
A: Do not install the SU S359 on a truck that did not originally have this part number. The bore diameter, width, and load rating must match the truck frame and bearing specifications. Installing an incorrect wheel can cause bearing failure, frame damage, or loss of load control. Always verify your truck model and serial number against the cross-reference table before ordering.
Q: What symptoms indicate a SU S359 wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the SU S359 wheel if the truck exhibits flat spotting, visible cracks or chunks missing from the tread, excessive radial or lateral runout when spinning the wheel, grinding or clicking sounds during operation, or if the truck pulls to one side. If the load cannot be controlled smoothly or the truck tips during turns, wheel deterioration may be a cause and should be inspected immediately.
Q: What is the correct installation procedure for the SU S359 wheel?
A: Support the truck securely on a lift. Remove the snap ring retaining the old wheel. Slide the wheel off the axle and inspect the bearing for damage or dirt. Clean the axle if needed. Apply bearing grease to the axle bore. Slide the new SU S359 wheel onto the axle, ensuring the bore seats fully. Reinstall the snap ring, confirm the wheel spins freely without binding, and test the truck on a level surface before returning to service.
Q: How long does it take to replace a SU S359 wheel in the field?
A: Wheel replacement typically takes 15 to 30 minutes per wheel with standard tools and proper lift equipment. If the bearing is seized or the axle is corroded, removal may take longer. If you choose the SU S359-A pre-assembled option, installation time is reduced since the bearing and hub are already installed. Plan for longer downtime if multiple wheels need replacement simultaneously.
