Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU S671 and SU S671-XL?
A: The SU S671 and SU S671-XL are distinct part numbers with potentially different specifications. The XL designation typically indicates an enhanced or extended compound, higher durometer, larger size, or improved tread design compared to the standard version. Without detailed specs, assume they are not interchangeable. Confirm bore size, outside diameter, width, tread material, and hardness before substituting one for the other.
Q: Should I choose SU S671 or SU S671-XL for heavy-duty warehouse use?
A: The SU S671-XL designation suggests enhanced durability and cut resistance compared to the standard SU S671. If you operate in demanding environments with heavy loads, rough floors, or high-speed pushing, the XL variant may offer longer service life and reduced maintenance cost per hour of operation. Request full specifications for tread hardness, material composition, and expected lifespan from your supplier to make a cost-benefit comparison.
Q: Can I mix SU S671 and SU S671-XL wheels on the same lift truck?
A: Do not mix different wheel part numbers or compounds on the same truck. Mixing wheels with different durometers, diameters, or tread profiles causes uneven rolling, pulling to one side, and excessive wear on the softer wheel. Always replace both front and rear wheels as a set with the same part number to maintain balanced performance and truck control.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the SU S671-XL wheel in a high-use warehouse?
A: Detailed lifespan data for SU S671-XL is not provided in the current product information. Wheel life depends on floor type, load weight, usage hours, and operating speed. Request wear life estimates and durometer hardness from the supplier. Polyurethane wheels in active warehouses typically last 12 to 36 months. Track wheel condition monthly and plan replacement before excessive wear causes floor damage or unsafe truck operation.
