Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the SU S9812-EZ load wheel?
A: The EZ designation indicates a High Traction polyurethane compound formulated for material handling equipment in general applications as well as wet floors and cold storage environments. It does not refer to easy installation or easy replacement. The SU S9812-EZ is a 3.25 inch diameter by 6.01 inch width load wheel made from Cushothane XL material with enhanced grip characteristics for slippery conditions.
Q: What are the bore specifications for the SU S9812-EZ wheel?
A: The SU S9812-EZ has a 1.938 inch inside diameter with a 0.584 inch bore depth. The bore outside diameter is 2.0467 inches and the hub width matches the overall wheel width of 6.01 inches. These specifications ensure compatibility with standard 2-inch spindle shafts used on most electric lift trucks.
Q: Is the SU S9812-EZ suitable for cold storage applications?
A: Yes. The EZ compound is specifically designed for cold storage and freezer environments where standard polyurethane becomes brittle and loses traction. The High Traction formula maintains grip and flexibility at low temperatures, preventing slipping and extending wheel life compared to non-specialized compounds.
Q: Can I use the SU S9812-EZ wheel as a replacement for my existing load wheel?
A: Only if your lift truck originally came with a 3.25 inch diameter by 6.01 inch width load wheel. The bore specifications must match your lift trucks spindle shaft. We recommend verifying your current wheel dimensions and bore size before ordering. Mixing wheel sizes or materials on the same axle can cause steering instability and uneven tire wear.
Q: How long does an SU S9812-EZ load wheel typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on application duty cycle and floor conditions. In standard warehouse use, expect 12 to 24 months. In heavy duty or wet cold storage applications, wheels typically wear faster due to increased friction and environmental stress. Inspect wheels monthly for uneven wear, flat spots, or compound deterioration. Replace if tread is worn below 0.25 inch or if compound shows visible cracking.
Q: What maintenance does the SU S9812-EZ wheel require?
A: Keep wheels clean and free of debris that can accelerate wear. Check bearing lubrication monthly and re-grease if needed. In wet or cold storage environments, clean wheels more frequently to prevent ice or chemical buildup from reducing traction. Do not use solvents that degrade polyurethane. Rotate wheels side to side every 6 months if possible to promote even wear.
