Poly Load Wheel, 95-A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the load rating and polyurethane hardness on the SU 2400 Poly Load Wheel?
A: The SU 2400 is a 95-A polyurethane load wheel. The 95-A hardness (Shore A scale) provides good grip and wear resistance for standard electric lift truck duty cycles. Always verify your truck model specifications to confirm this wheel matches your axle bore and diameter requirements before ordering.
Q: Is the SU 2400 equivalent to any other manufacturer load wheels?
A: Cross-reference equivalency depends on your truck brand and axle configuration. The SU 2400 is a generic catalog part. If you need an OEM replacement for Yale, Crown, Toyota, or Nissan forklifts, confirm the axle bore diameter and wheel mounting interface before assuming direct substitution. Contact your truck dealer with your truck model and serial number for exact equivalents.
Q: Can I use the SU 2400 wheel on both drive and load positions?
A: The SU 2400 is rated for load wheel (steering or trailing wheel) duty, not drive wheel duty. Drive wheels experience higher torque loads and require different tread design and bearing specs. Using a load wheel as a drive wheel will cause rapid tread wear and possible bearing failure. Always install the correct wheel type for each position.
Q: What tools and steps are needed to replace an SU 2400 wheel?
A: Remove the wheel by loosening the axle bolt with the appropriate socket wrench and slide the old wheel off the axle. Clean the axle bore and inspect for debris or damage. Slide the SU 2400 wheel onto the axle, align the bolt hole, and tighten the axle bolt to the truck manufacturers torque specification (typically 40-60 foot-pounds for most lift trucks). Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the bearing seal.
Q: How often should I inspect or replace the SU 2400 load wheel?
A: Inspect the SU 2400 wheel every 250 operating hours or monthly, whichever comes first. Look for uneven tread wear, flat spots, cracks, or wobbling. In continuous duty (warehouse operations), expect wheel life of 12-18 months. In light duty, life extends to 24-36 months. Replace immediately if tread wears below 1/4 inch or if the bearing feels loose or gritty when rotated by hand.
