Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean for SU S459-XL?
A: XL indicates Cushothane XL material, which is a premium polyurethane formulation for high-performance warehouse use. Cushothane XL provides better durability and floor grip compared to standard polyurethane, making it ideal for electric lift trucks operating on hard smooth floors in food distribution, automotive, and pharmaceutical environments.
Q: Is SU S459-XL interchangeable with SU S459 standard wheels?
A: Yes, dimensionally interchangeable. Both are 6 inch diameter by 3 inch width wheels with the same bore specifications. You can mix SU S459-XL with standard SU S459 wheels on the same jack without fitment issues. However, for consistent performance and wear patterns, it is recommended to replace all wheels with the same material grade when doing a wheel replacement.
Q: Does SU S459-XL require different installation tools than standard S459?
A: No. Installation tools and procedure are identical to standard wheels. SU S459-XL slides onto the axle shaft the same way. The only difference is the Cushothane XL material, which does not affect installation steps. Follow your jack manufacturers installation instructions for correct bolt torque and wheel centering.
Q: How long does SU S459-XL typically last compared to standard S459?
A: SU S459-XL typically lasts 30 to 40 percent longer than standard S459 wheels in identical operating conditions. In regular warehouse use, standard wheels last 2-3 years while SU S459-XL wheels last 3-4 years. Actual lifespan depends on floor type, load, hours of operation, and maintenance. High-use environments see greater durability advantage with XL material.
Q: Can SU S459-XL wheels be used on outdoor or inclined ramps?
A: Not recommended. SU S459-XL, like all Cushothane wheels, is engineered for indoor flat warehouse floors. Outdoor use, wet conditions, and inclines exceed the grip and load capacity of the material. For outdoor or inclined applications, use hard rubber or pneumatic wheels designed for rough surfaces.
Q: What maintenance extends the life of SU S459-XL wheels?
A: Clean wheels monthly with a damp cloth to remove floor dust and oils that reduce grip and cause premature tread wear. Inspect for cracks or flat spots every 50 operating hours. Check wheel bolt torque quarterly to prevent play on the axle. Rotate wheels front to back every 6 months if operating load is uneven. Proper maintenance can extend life 20 to 30 percent.
