Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the SU S448-XL different from standard load wheels?
A: The SU S448-XL is a heavy-duty polyurethane load wheel with a machined steel core, powder-coated for corrosion resistance. The bonded polyurethane tread is engineered for high cycle durability, making it suitable for operations with frequent turning and extended run times in demanding material handling environments.

Q: What material is the SU S448-XL core made from?
A: The SU S448-XL core is constructed from machined steel with a powder-coated, anti-corrosive coating on all steel surfaces. This construction provides strength and prevents rust in wet or corrosive warehouse environments.

Q: Is there a cross-reference part number for the SU S448-XL?
A: No cross-reference part numbers are currently available for the SU S448-XL. Use the exact SKU SU S448-XL when ordering. If you need compatibility information for your specific lift truck model, verify the part with your equipment manufacturer or authorized parts supplier.

Q: What is the expected service life of the SU S448-XL polyurethane tread?
A: The heavy-duty polyurethane tread on the SU S448-XL typically lasts 2 to 3 years under normal warehouse conditions with regular use. Service life depends on floor conditions, steering aggressiveness, and hours of operation per week. Rough or outdoor floors will reduce tread life.

Q: Can the SU S448-XL polyurethane tread be refinished or only replaced?
A: The bonded polyurethane tread on the SU S448-XL cannot be refinished. Once the tread wears thin or becomes damaged, the entire wheel assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to resurface a polyurethane load wheel, as this will damage the bond and cause tread separation.
