Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does Cushothane XL 97A mean on the SU 10.5 X 5 X 6.5-SC-XL wheel?
A: Cushothane XL 97A is a high-hardness polyurethane formulation rated at 97A durometer. XL indicates enhanced load capacity and durability for heavy-duty applications. This wheel resists compression, maintains shape under sustained load, and has superior wear resistance compared to softer compounds. Use XL wheels on lift trucks rated for 3500 pounds per wheel or higher.
Q: Can I interchange the SU 10.5 X 5 X 6.5-SC-XL with a SU 10.5 X 5 X 6.5-SC-EZ wheel?
A: Not recommended as a permanent solution. EZ and XL have different load-handling characteristics. If you must temporarily use one XL wheel, replace all four wheels with XL to maintain balanced ride and steering. Mixing hardnesses causes uneven weight distribution, pulling to one side, and premature wear on softer wheels. Always match all four wheels to the same hardness rating.
Q: How do I verify the SU 10.5 X 5 X 6.5-SC-XL wheel is rated for my lift truck?
A: Check your lift truck nameplate for maximum load per wheel and duty cycle. If nameplate shows 4000+ pounds per wheel, XL wheels are appropriate. Confirm hub compatibility with 6.5 inch center spacing and that frame clearance accommodates the 5.000 inch width. Consult your parts manual for OEM wheel specification. When in doubt, contact the lift truck manufacturer with your serial number.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the SU 10.5 X 5 X 6.5-SC-XL wheel?
A: Under normal warehouse use, 24 to 48 months. The 97A hardness resists compression and maintains tread integrity longer than softer compounds. Outdoor or rough-surface use may reduce lifespan to 12-24 months. Regular maintenance including seal inspection and bearing lubrication extends life. Replace wheels as a matched set when the first wheel shows significant wear to maintain handling balance.
Q: How do I inspect the SU 10.5 X 5 X 6.5-SC-XL wheel for wear and replacement need?
A: Visually inspect the smooth crown profile for flat spots or shiny wear areas. Feel the sidewall; it should resist finger pressure. Look for cracks radiating from center or chunks missing from tread. Spin the wheel by hand and watch for wobbling or runout. Press hard on the tread; if it does not immediately return to shape, begin planning replacement. XL wheels fail slowly; daily inspections catch problems early.
Q: What maintenance maximizes the lifespan of the SU 10.5 X 5 X 6.5-SC-XL wheel?
A: Inspect seals and bearings monthly and replace seals if damaged. Keep wheels clean and dry. Verify bearing preload and axle torque match specification every six months. Store the lift truck indoors to minimize UV and temperature exposure. Avoid contact with oils, solvents, and corrosive chemicals. Rotate wheels if your lift truck design allows. Monitor load-per-wheel; exceeding rated capacity accelerates wear and failure.
