Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU S880-XL and SU S880-XL-A?
A: The S880-XL-A is the full manufacturer designation of the same wheel marketed under the shortened SKU S880-XL. The -A suffix indicates base configuration without double-sided bearing support or string guards. If your truck requires bearing support or guards, order the -DS (double-sided bearing) or -SG (string guards) variant instead.
Q: Does the S880-XL-A fit electric lift trucks and hand pallet jacks?
A: The S880-XL-A is designed for electric lift trucks only. Hand pallet jacks require different wheel diameters and load ratings. Do not install this wheel on a hand jack. Verify your equipment type in the operator manual before ordering. Installation on unsupported equipment will cause handling instability and safety hazards.
Q: What should I check if an S880-XL-A wheel vibrates or wobbles?
A: First, de-energize the truck and raise it on a lift or blocks. Grab the wheel and try to move it side to side. Excess play indicates loose bearing bolts or a worn bearing race. Tighten all fasteners to OEM torque spec and retest. If wobbling persists, the bearing is damaged and the wheel assembly must be replaced. Do not operate a truck with a bad bearing, as it will fail suddenly under load.
Q: Can I refurbish or re-tread an S880-XL-A wheel?
A: No. The S880-XL-A is a molded polyurethane assembly and cannot be re-tread or re-trued. If the tread is worn flat or chunks are missing, the entire wheel assembly must be replaced. Attempting to machine or resurface the tread will compromise the durometer and load rating.
Q: What load capacity does the S880-XL-A support?
A: The S880-XL-A is rated for the load capacity of your specific lift truck model. The wheel itself is designed for electric lift trucks rated up to approximately 2,000-4,000 lbs (depending on truck size). Consult your truck manual for exact load limits. Never exceed the truck rating. Overloading damages wheels faster and voids warranty.
Q: How do I store spare S880-XL-A wheels?
A: Store wheels indoors in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Polyurethane degrades when exposed to UV light and temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep wheels off concrete floors; use racks or shelving. Do not stack wheels directly on top of each other for extended periods, as this can flatten the tread profile. Use protective covers if storing for more than 6 months.
