Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SU 13.5 X 5.5 X 10-FT compatible with my Yale MP27 sit-down rider truck?
A: Yes, the 13.5 X 5.5 poly press-on is OEM for Yale MP27 models manufactured 2008–2020. Check your serial number range in the manual to confirm. If your truck shows a different wheel size on the nameplate, do not swap without checking the axle bolt pattern and load rating. The MP27 can also use a 13 X 6 wheel; verify you have the correct core diameter before ordering.
Q: What are the cross-references for SU 13.5 X 5.5 X 10-FT?
A: The SU 13.5 X 5.5 X 10-FT is equivalent to Crown 076538-002 and Hyster A154H0901521. All three use the same polyurethane durometer (95A) and bolt pattern. However, confirm your truck part number with the OEM before purchase; some serial ranges may have a slightly different wheel specification. Price may vary between equivalent parts, but performance and durability are identical.
Q: How do I remove a press-on poly wheel without a tire press?
A: Use a hydraulic wheel puller clamped to the axle or a two-jaw puller bolted to the core. A tire press is preferred because it removes the wheel straight. If using a puller, apply even pressure and pull slowly to avoid tearing the polyurethane. Do not use a hammer or pry bar; you risk cracking the core. Once removed, clean the axle and inspect for rust or debris before installing the new wheel.
Q: What causes the poly press-on to slip or slide on the axle?
A: Slipping occurs when the polyurethane surface is contaminated with oil, grease, or water, or when the wheel is not fully seated on the axle (it may be cocked at an angle). Clean both the wheel core hole and axle with a clean cloth and dry thoroughly. Press the wheel straight on using a pneumatic press, not by hand or hammer. If slipping continues after reinstalling, the axle may be worn or the core hole enlarged; measure the hole diameter and compare to specs.
Q: What is the maximum indoor and outdoor load rating for the 13.5 X 5.5 wheel?
A: Indoor level floor: 1800 lbs per wheel. Outdoor or uneven surface: 1200 lbs per wheel. The 5.5 inch width distributes load better than narrower wheels. Do not operate on gravel or unmaintained terrain; the polyurethane will abrade rapidly. If your truck carries loads beyond these limits, consult the OEM for a reinforced wheel option. Operating above rating voids warranty and accelerates wear.
