Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications and dimensions of the SU S652 load wheel?
A: The SU S652 is a load wheel designed for electric lift trucks. Detailed specification data including exact diameter, width, bore size, and material composition are available in the manufacturer documentation. Contact the parts supplier with your truck model and serial number to receive complete specification details and compatibility verification. Do not assume the S652 is compatible with the 5 x 2 SU S650 series based on part number alone.
Q: Is the SU S652 equivalent to or compatible with the SU S650 5 x 2 wheel?
A: The SU S652 is a different product line and is not directly equivalent to the SU S650 5 x 2 wheel. While both are load wheels, they likely have different dimensions, bore sizes, or tread profiles. Installing an incorrect wheel causes steering problems, bearing misalignment, and premature failure. Verify your truck documentation to confirm which wheel series your truck requires. When in doubt, contact parts support with your truck serial number before ordering.
Q: What trucks or truck models use the SU S652 load wheel?
A: The SU S652 is compatible with specific truck models and configurations. To determine if this wheel fits your truck, consult your truck documentation or contact the parts supplier with your truck make, model, and serial number. Attempting to install wheels on trucks for which they were not designed creates safety hazards and will damage the truck. Cross-reference your truck specification sheet against the S652 datasheet before purchasing.
Q: How do I diagnose if my SU S652 wheels need replacement?
A: Inspect wheels monthly for visible wear, cracks, or material chunks missing from the tread. Measure wheel diameter; replace when diameter is 0.25 to 0.3 inches below the nominal specification listed in your truck documentation. Spin each wheel freely by hand; noise, grinding, or play indicates bearing wear, not just wheel wear. If the truck steers unevenly or vibrates, measure both front wheels; different diameters indicate uneven wear and require replacement.
Q: Can I replace only one SU S652 wheel, or must I replace both wheels together?
A: Always replace wheels in pairs on the same axle to maintain even steering and load distribution. Installing a new wheel beside a worn wheel causes steering drift and uneven bearing wear. If one front wheel requires replacement, replace both front wheels. The cost difference is minimal compared to the risk of misaligned operation damaging your truck and voiding warranties.
Q: What is the typical replacement interval for SU S652 wheels in warehouse service?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on operating conditions and truck load class. In typical warehouse service, expect replacement every 2000 to 4000 operating hours. Track your fleet maintenance records to establish a pattern for your specific facility. Rough surfaces, outdoor use, or overloading accelerates wear. Establish a preventive maintenance schedule inspecting wheels every 500 hours; this prevents catastrophic failures and optimizes replacement timing.
