Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the SU 9X4X5-TSW-P drive tire?
A: The SU 9X4X5-TSW-P has an outside diameter of 9.000 inches (228.60 mm) and a width of 4.000 inches (101.60 mm). The tire profile is Tapered Side Wall (TSW). These dimensions are critical for fitment; always verify your equipment requires a 9 x 4 drive tire before ordering.
Q: What does TSW mean and how does tapered side wall affect performance?
A: TSW stands for Tapered Side Wall. This profile design tapers the sidewall toward the rim, providing a controlled deflection under load. Tapered sidewalls reduce drag during steering, improve maneuverability on tight turns, and provide more responsive handling compared to straight sidewall profiles. This design is standard on many lift truck drive wheels.
Q: What is the material composition of the SU 9X4X5-TSW-P?
A: The SU 9X4X5-TSW-P is manufactured from polyurethane. Polyurethane drive tires offer superior load capacity, wear resistance, and floor protection compared to rubber or pneumatic tires. Polyurethane does not require inflation and performs consistently across temperature ranges from cold storage to warm environments.
Q: Which lift truck models use 9 x 4 drive tires like the SU 9X4X5-TSW-P?
A: The 9 x 4 drive tire size is used on many Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT electric lift trucks, particularly reach trucks and order pickers. Verify your equipment documentation or existing tire to confirm the 9 x 4 dimension is correct before ordering. Incorrect tire size will affect equipment handling and safety.
Q: What is the load rating for the SU 9X4X5-TSW-P drive tire?
A: Load rating for polyurethane drive tires varies by construction and application. The 9 x 4 size typically supports standard lift truck duty cycles. Do not exceed the equipment manufacturers rated capacity. Overloading increases tread wear, heat buildup, and sidewall stress. Consult your lift truck manual or contact our parts team for specific load rating data applicable to your equipment.
Q: How do I know when the SU 9X4X5-TSW-P needs replacement?
A: Replace the drive tire when tread wear exceeds 1/8 inch depth, cracks or chunks appear in the tread, the tire loses roundness or develops flat spots, or the tire splits at the sidewall. Drive tire failure causes poor handling, steering difficulty, and loss of traction. Inspect regularly, especially on reach trucks where drive tire condition directly affects stability.
