Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the SU S9871-EZ?
A: EZ indicates a high traction polyurethane compound tread designed for demanding applications including wet floors and cold storage environments. EZ does not mean easy installation. The EZ compound provides superior grip and durability in slippery or temperature-sensitive conditions.
Q: When should I use SU S9871-EZ instead of standard nylon wheels?
A: Use the SU S9871-EZ in wet environments, freezer applications, damp warehouses, or any location where floor traction is compromised. The high traction polyurethane tread significantly reduces wheel slip compared to nylon, improving load control and operator safety.
Q: Is the SU S9871-EZ a direct replacement for standard load wheels?
A: The SU S9871-EZ maintains OE form factor and bore configuration for seamless retrofit. However, verify your truck model and axle size before ordering. The polyurethane tread is thicker than nylon, which can affect wheel pocket clearance on some models. Confirm fit before installation.
Q: How long does the polyurethane tread on the SU S9871-EZ last?
A: Polyurethane tread life typically exceeds nylon by 30 to 50 percent in standard conditions. In wet or cold storage environments, the SU S9871-EZ offers superior durability and wear resistance. Inspect the tread monthly for damage or abnormal wear. Replace when tread depth drops below 2mm or when bearing play develops.
Q: Can I use the SU S9871-EZ in dry, climate-controlled warehouses?
A: Yes. The SU S9871-EZ performs well in any environment. The polyurethane compound provides excellent traction and durability on both dry and wet floors. If traction is not a concern and cost is the priority, standard nylon wheels may be sufficient. The EZ is best suited to challenging floor conditions.
Q: How do I maintain the SU S9871-EZ to maximize its lifespan?
A: Inspect bearings monthly for play or noise. Clean the wheel tread regularly to prevent buildup of oils or contaminants that reduce traction. Check the axle for corrosion, especially in freezer environments. Rotate load wheels periodically to ensure even wear. Replace sealed bearings as an assembly if they develop lateral movement or grinding.
