Poly load Wheel 95A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 95A specification mean on the SU S556 poly load wheel?
A: 95A is the durometer hardness rating for the polyurethane tire material. 95A is a harder compound than standard rubber wheels - it provides better wear resistance on rough concrete but less cushioning on impact. Use 95A for high-frequency use on hard, clean floors.
Q: How does the SU S556 poly 95A wheel compare to standard rubber wheels?
A: The SU S556 polyurethane 95A compound lasts 40-50 percent longer than rubber on concrete and sealed floors. Poly wheels maintain grip in wet conditions and do not shed particles. However, poly wheels are noisier, provide less shock absorption, and cost 20-30 percent more than rubber.
Q: What floor surfaces are best for the SU S556 poly 95A wheel?
A: The SU S556 performs best on concrete, sealed epoxy, and polished floors. Avoid rough outdoor surfaces and gravel, which accelerate wear and cause the wheel to drift. Indoor warehouse and distribution center floors are ideal for this poly wheel.
Q: Is the SU S556 poly wheel suitable for all electric lift truck models?
A: The SU S556 fits standard electric lift truck axles, but verify wheel diameter and bolt pattern match your truck. Poly 95A wheels are typically available in 6-inch or 8-inch diameters. Confirm your truck specification before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the SU S556 poly wheel in normal operation?
A: The SU S556 typically lasts 3-5 years in normal warehouse use on smooth concrete. Lifespan depends on floor type, load frequency, and drive speed. Replace the wheel when flat spots appear, cracks develop, or grinding sounds indicate bearing wear.
Q: What maintenance does the SU S556 poly wheel require?
A: Clean poly wheels monthly to prevent dust and debris from building up in grooves. Inspect for cracks or flat spots quarterly. Check bearing smoothness by lifting the truck and spinning the wheel - if it binds or grinds, replace bearings. Do not apply solvents or harsh cleaners to poly material.
