Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does XL mean on this wheel model?
A: XL indicates this wheel is made from cushothane XL 97A material, which is harder and more durable than standard polyurethane. XL wheels resist cuts and abrasion better and maintain performance longer on concrete and industrial floors.
Q: Can I swap this SF-XL wheel with a standard polyurethane wheel on the same truck?
A: No. All four wheels on a lift truck must use the same material type and hardness to maintain proper steering, load distribution, and stability. Mixing wheel types will cause the truck to pull to one side and create dangerous handling.
Q: Is this wheel compatible with all 13.5 x 7 cores?
A: Press-on wheels require the correct core diameter and hub configuration. While the 13.5 x 7 dimension is standard, verify the core material (steel, aluminum, composite) and bore size match your truck. Cross-reference your lift truck manual with the core part number.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this cushothane XL wheel?
A: Lifespan depends on surface conditions, load weight, and operating hours. On smooth warehouse floors with typical use, this wheel typically lasts 12 to 24 months. Rough outdoor surfaces or continuous high-load operation may reduce this to 6 to 12 months.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for this wheel size?
A: The wheel itself supports 13.5 x 7 trucks up to the manufacturer stated capacity, typically 4,000 to 6,000 pounds depending on your lift truck model. Do not exceed your truck is rated capacity. Overloading accelerates wheel wear and failure.
