Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the SU S685-XL and SU S684-XL?
A: The SU S685-XL is a smaller wheel at 3 inch diameter by 3.5 inch width, while the SU S684-XL is an 8 inch diameter by 4 inch width. The SU S685-XL is used on compact pallet jacks and low-profile lift trucks, whereas the SU S684-XL is for standard electric lift trucks. Both use 97A polyurethane, but they are not interchangeable due to different mounting bores and spacing.
Q: What pallet jack and lift truck models use the SU S685-XL wheel?
A: The SU S685-XL is designed for compact electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and low-lift pallet trucks that use a 3 inch wheel diameter. Verify your truck or jack manual for wheel size before ordering. Common users include Yale, Hyster, Toyota, and similar compact lift models. Check the existing wheel diameter by measuring or consulting the parts diagram.
Q: Is the SU S685-XL tread only or a full assembly?
A: The SU S685-XL appears to be a tread-only unit based on the product description. You will press it onto an existing hub core. If you need a pre-assembled wheel with bearings, order the SU S685-XL-A instead, which includes the complete assembly with sealed bearings.
Q: What load capacity should I expect from the SU S685-XL?
A: The SU S685-XL smaller wheel supports approximately 400 to 600 pounds per wheel on a four-wheel pallet jack. Maximum truck capacity typically ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds total. The smaller wheel diameter means lower load per wheel but also slightly reduced ground clearance. Never exceed the truck rated capacity, as this causes tread failure and bearing damage.
Q: How do I replace the SU S685-XL tread on my pallet jack?
A: Remove the wheel from the truck by unbolting the axle. Use a bearing puller or press to remove the worn tread from the hub. Clean the hub bore of any debris. Position the new SU S685-XL tread and press it straight onto the hub using a hydraulic press or machine shop equipment. Ensure even seating. Reinstall the wheel and tighten all axle bolts to the truck manufacturer specification.
Q: Does the SU S685-XL work on both drive and idler wheels?
A: The product description identifies this as a polyurethane wheel without specifying drive or idler function. Most compact pallet jack wheels are non-powered idler wheels. If your jack has powered wheels, confirm with your supplier whether the SU S685-XL is suitable for that application, as powered wheels may require different bearing configurations or tread compounds.
