Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SU S730-XL load wheel compatible with?
A: The SU S730-XL is a standard load wheel for electric lift trucks. It fits most Yale, Crown, and Hyster models with 2-inch bore hubs. Verify your truck model and wheel hub diameter before ordering to ensure proper fitment. Incompatible bore sizes will cause wobbling or failure to mount.
Q: How do I know if my SU S730-XL load wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you notice flat spots, chunks missing from the tread, excessive wear exceeding 1/8 inch depth loss, or audible grinding when the truck rolls. Check for separation between the wheel core and tire material. If the wheel no longer rolls freely or creates vibration during movement, replacement is required.
Q: Is the SU S730-XL equivalent to any other part numbers?
A: The SU S730-XL is cross-referenced with Yale 582031636 and Crown 101893-700. Always verify the bore diameter and width match your existing wheel before substitution. Different manufacturers use different material compositions, so confirm your truck documentation lists these equivalents as approved.
Q: What are the installation requirements for the SU S730-XL?
A: Install the SU S730-XL using a wheel puller tool to remove the old wheel safely. Press or tap the new wheel onto the hub in a single motion to avoid damage to the bearing or axle. Do not reuse old axle clips or seals; install new hardware to prevent wheel detachment. Allow wheel to seat for 24 hours before operating under load.
Q: What is the load capacity and operating life of the SU S730-XL?
A: The SU S730-XL supports standard lift truck loads up to 6,000 pounds per wheel when properly installed. Expected service life is 18-24 months with normal warehouse use. Operating life decreases with outdoor use, rough surfaces, or overloading. Replace when tread depth falls below 3/32 inch or visible wear patterns appear.
Q: How do I maintain the SU S730-XL to extend its lifespan?
A: Inspect wheels weekly for debris, flat spots, or tread separation. Clean accumulated dirt and metal shavings from the wheel bore and axle to prevent corrosion. Rotate wheels every 500 operating hours to ensure even wear. Check bearing preload quarterly to catch early wear. Do not operate on chemically treated floors that degrade elastomer compounds.
