SU S9871-XL

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the outer diameter and width of the SU S9871-XL load wheel?
A: The SU S9871-XL features a 3.375 inch outer diameter and 2.00 inch width. These dimensions make it suitable for narrow aisle applications and standard reach truck outrigger assemblies.

Q: What makes the XL3 bonding technology different from standard polyurethane wheels?
A: XL3 bonding technology provides enhanced cut resistance and extends tire life by improving the bond between the polyurethane tire and the precision steel hub. This reduces premature tire separation and delamination in high-cycle warehouse environments.

Q: What is the hub material and does it require any special maintenance?
A: The hub is precision-finished steel core. Inspect the hub quarterly for cracks or damage. Do not weld or modify the hub. If hub damage is present, replace the entire load wheel assembly.

Q: Is the SU S9871-XL compatible with reach trucks other than XL series models?
A: Verify fitment by checking your truck model documentation and comparing bore size and axle diameter. This wheel is designed for electric lift truck applications. Cross-reference with your OEM documentation (Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, or equivalent) to confirm compatibility.

Q: What are the signs that an SU S9871-XL wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe excessive tire wear, flat spotting, visible separation between the polyurethane tire and steel hub, cracks in the tire, or abnormal noise during operation. Wheels should typically be replaced every 18 to 36 months depending on duty cycle.

Q: What is the load capacity rating for this wheel assembly?
A: Load capacity depends on the number of wheels supporting the load and the truck configuration. Consult your truck manual for the maximum load per wheel. Do not exceed the truck nameplate capacity.
