Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the SU S9812-XL load wheel?
A: The XL designation indicates a Cushothane XL 97A polyurethane compound formulation engineered for extended wear life and high duty cycle performance. XL does not refer to size. The SU S9812-XL is a standard 3.25 inch diameter by 6.01 inch width load wheel with enhanced durability and compound longevity compared to standard polyurethane wheels.
Q: How does the SU S9812-XL differ from the SU S9812-EZ?
A: Both are 3.25 inch by 6.01 inch load wheels with Cushothane XL material. The SU S9812-EZ features a High Traction compound optimized for wet floors and cold storage. The SU S9812-XL features the standard Cushothane XL compound optimized for dry warehouse use and extended cycle life. Choose EZ for wet or freezer environments and XL for general duty warehouse applications.
Q: What is the load capacity of the SU S9812-XL wheel?
A: Load capacity depends on your lift truck model and configuration. The SU S9812-XL wheel itself supports standard electric lift truck loads when paired with appropriate load wheel sets. Never exceed the lift trucks rated capacity as stated in the operators manual. Overloading damages wheels faster and creates safety hazards. Verify your lift trucks rated capacity and wheel configuration before selecting this wheel.
Q: Can I replace just one wheel with the SU S9812-XL or do I need to replace all four?
A: Best practice is to replace wheels in complete sets (all four load wheels together). Mixing old and new wheels causes uneven wear and steering instability. If only one wheel is damaged, we recommend replacing the entire set to ensure uniform performance. If budget constraints require partial replacement, replace pairs on the same axle at minimum.
Q: What signs indicate the SU S9812-XL wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe flat spots, cracking, chunking, or uneven wear patterns. If tread depth is worn below 0.25 inch or the wheel produces noise during operation, replacement is needed. If the lift truck drifts to one side or steering feels jerky, wheel wear may be the cause. Inspect wheels monthly for these conditions and plan replacement before wheels fail completely.
Q: How should I store the SU S9812-XL wheel if it is not installed?
A: Store wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not stack wheels with weight pressing on the tread as this can cause flat spotting. Store wheels vertically on their bore or lay flat on a clean surface. Keep away from oils, solvents, and chemicals that degrade polyurethane. Avoid prolonged storage in damp or humid environments.
