Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P polyurethane wheel compatible with the same lift truck that uses Cushothane wheels?
A: Yes, if both wheels are 10x7 diameter and width. The SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P is polyurethane 95A durometer and fits the same 10x7 hubs as Cushothane wheels. However, do not mix material types on the same truck. Install all four wheels with matching material (all polyurethane or all Cushothane). Mixing materials causes uneven load distribution and steering lag because different compounds have different stiffness and grip characteristics.
Q: What is the key difference between the SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P and SU 10X7X6.25-SF-XL polyurethane wheels?
A: The SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P is standard polyurethane at 95A durometer, while the SF-XL is Cushothane XL at 97A durometer (harder). The XL compound is more durable and runs 15-20% longer in high-use environments, but it rides harder and may increase driver fatigue. Choose SF-P (95A) for general warehouse use and comfort. Choose SF-XL (97A) for heavy-duty outdoor or rough surface operations where durability is the priority over ride quality.
Q: How do I inspect the SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P for damage before installation?
A: Inspect the press-on contact surface (inside of wheel) for dents, cracks, or flat spots. Check the outer tread surface for gouges, cuts deeper than 0.25 inches, or chunks missing. Look for separation between the tire and inner support ring; if the rubber peels away, do not install. Verify the wheel sits flat on a clean surface without rocking. Any major damage compromises balance and shortens wheel life significantly.
Q: Is press-on replacement easy for the SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P or does it require special equipment?
A: Press-on replacement requires a wheel puller (25-50 pound tool) to remove the old wheel and a press or arbor press to install the new wheel. Do not attempt to remove press-on wheels with heat, solvents, or hammering as this damages the axle. The job takes 15-30 minutes per wheel if you have proper tools. Many facilities outsource this to a bearing or hydraulic shop. Improper removal causes permanent axle damage that is expensive to replace.
Q: What surface conditions are best suited for the smooth flat tread SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P?
A: The smooth flat tread is optimized for clean, dry warehouse floors. It provides excellent traction and lowest rolling resistance on smooth concrete. Performance degrades significantly on wet floors, oily surfaces, or gravel. The lack of tread means zero water evacuation capability, so use only in dry environments or covered areas. If your facility uses floor washdown or operates in damp conditions, switch to center groove or lug tread alternatives.
Q: What is the expected service life of the SU 10X7X6.25-SF-P polyurethane wheel under normal operation?
A: Standard polyurethane wheels at 95A durometer typically last 18-30 months in normal warehouse use (8-10 hour shifts on smooth floors). Continuous heavy use or outdoor operation reduces life to 12-18 months. Chemical exposure (oils, solvents) and UV sunlight accelerate degradation. Track service hours; wheels used 40+ hours per week should be inspected every 3 months and replaced when tread wear exceeds 25% of original depth.
