POLY LOAD WHEEL 95A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is SU S0955 the same as SU S0956?
A: Both SU S0955 and SU S0956 are 95A polyurethane load wheels. They share the same durometer rating and are functionally equivalent for most applications. However, they may differ in mounting hardware, hub design, or bearing type. Always verify the complete part number on your original equipment before ordering as a direct replacement. Contact your supplier to confirm fitment if you are not certain which SKU your truck requires.
Q: Can I use SU S0955 on equipment designed for 87A wheels?
A: No. Do not install SU S0955 (95A hardness) on equipment specified for 87A wheels such as SU M090032-001-601-XG. The 95A compound is significantly harder and will cause poor traction, floor marking, increased vibration, and uneven wear. The softer 87A compound is required for those applications. Verify the durometer rating in your equipment documentation before purchasing wheels.
Q: What load capacity does SU S0955 support?
A: The load capacity for SU S0955 depends on the wheel diameter, width, and the equipment manufacturer design. Standard 95A polyurethane load wheels for electric lift trucks typically support 500-1000 lbs per wheel. Consult the original equipment documentation or the wheel specification sheet for the exact load rating for your truck model. Do not exceed the rated load capacity; overloading causes tire damage, increases heat buildup, and may cause hub failure.
Q: How do I diagnose if SU S0955 needs replacement?
A: Inspect the wheel monthly. Replace SU S0955 when the tread shows flat spots, cracks, or visible sidewall damage. The wheel will feel noticeably harder and may show discoloration or ozone cracking after 24-36 months of service. If the truck vibrates excessively during forward or backward movement, or if you hear grinding noise, stop operation immediately and inspect all four wheels for damage. Do not attempt to repair polyurethane wheels; they must be replaced.
Q: Is SU S0955 a non-marking wheel?
A: Standard 95A polyurethane wheels such as SU S0955 may leave marks on polished concrete or epoxy floors, especially when the truck turns sharply or brakes suddenly. If you require non-marking wheels for cleanroom or finished floor environments, specify high-quality 95A non-marking wheels or consider the SU S10193 Durarun, which features non-marking properties. Test the wheel on a small area of the floor before full deployment.
Q: Does SU S0955 include bearings and mounting hardware?
A: SU S0955 specification does not indicate whether bearings and hardware are included. Verify the product documentation from your supplier. If you are replacing an existing wheel, inspect the old wheel hub for sealed or open bearings, then ensure the replacement includes the same bearing configuration. If you receive a bare hub, you may need to reuse or purchase compatible axles, pins, and bearings separately.
