Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R and the polyurethane version SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-P?
A: SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R is a solid rubber tire with an integrally bonded steel ring, while SF-P versions are polyurethane. The R designation means rubber. Rubber tires absorb shock better and provide superior traction on rough or uneven floors. Rubber is softer and more forgiving than polyurethane. The steel ring reinforcement increases durability and prevents rim damage under heavy loads. Rubber tires are typically chosen for mixed terrain, outdoor use, or applications requiring shock absorption. Polyurethane is lighter and preferred for smooth indoor warehouse floors. Both have the same 10.5 inch diameter and 5 inch width, but handle different operating conditions.
Q: What are the cross-reference equivalents for SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R?
A: SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R is equivalent to Crown r01000500651 and Raymond r01000500651. These are OEM part numbers for the same tire design. The tire may also be listed as 10x5x6.5 PO (press-on) universal rubber smooth flat. If you need to verify compatibility with another brand, provide the Crown or Raymond part number to your supplier. Always confirm the cross-reference with current parts databases as superseded numbers may apply. The specification 10.5 inch diameter, 5 inch width, 6.5 inch rim, smooth flat, rubber with steel ring ensures compatibility across equivalent listings.
Q: What load capacity advantage does the steel ring provide in SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R?
A: The integrally bonded steel ring provides structural reinforcement that increases load carrying capacity and prevents rim flex under heavy loads. The steel ring also reduces the risk of rim cracking or core separation when operating at maximum truck capacity. Without the steel ring, rubber tires can allow the rim to move or deflect slightly under extreme load, compromising tire mounting and potentially damaging the wheel core. The steel ring essentially distributes impact and load forces more evenly across the rim. For heavy duty applications or maximum load operations, always specify the steel ring version to ensure rim longevity.
Q: Is SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R compatible with both Crown and Raymond lift trucks?
A: Yes. SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R carries OEM cross-references for both Crown r01000500651 and Raymond r01000500651, indicating compatibility with both brands when those part numbers are specified on the truck nameplate. However, always verify your actual truck model, serial number range, and current part number before ordering. Do not assume all 10.5x5 rubber tires fit all Crown or Raymond trucks. Rim core dimensions and mounting specifications vary. Contact your truck OEM or supplier with your specific truck model and serial range to confirm compatibility.
Q: What maintenance is required for the steel ring on SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R?
A: The steel ring is an integral part of the tire and cannot be serviced separately. Inspect the ring for rust or corrosion during routine tire inspections. Minor surface rust does not require action. Heavy rust or corrosion may indicate water intrusion during storage and signals need for replacement. Keep tires dry and store indoors to prevent rust. The steel ring requires no lubrication or special maintenance. If the steel ring becomes loose or you detect separation from the rubber, the tire must be replaced immediately as this is a structural failure. Do not attempt to weld or repair the ring yourself.
Q: Does SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R provide better traction than polyurethane on wet or contaminated floors?
A: Yes. Rubber provides better traction than polyurethane on wet, oily, or contaminated floors. Rubber is naturally grippier and maintains traction even when moisture is present. Polyurethane becomes slippery when wet. If your lift trucks operate outdoors, near loading docks, in wet environments, or on dirty floors, rubber tires are the better choice. The smooth flat profile of the SF-R still provides stability, but the rubber compound maintains grip in these challenging conditions. For safety and operational efficiency in such environments, SU 10.5x5x6.5-SF-R is the superior option.
