Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is SU 135X6X10-FT-P a polyurethane or rubber tire?
A: SU 135X6X10-FT-P is a polyurethane compound tire with a smooth flat tread design. Polyurethane offers better load-carrying capacity, longer lifespan, and lower rolling resistance than rubber. It is ideal for electric lift trucks where battery efficiency matters. The flat profile minimizes resistance, making this tire suitable for load wheels and smooth warehouse floors.
Q: What is the wheel mounting diameter for SU 135X6X10-FT-P?
A: The wheel mounting diameter for SU 135X6X10-FT-P is 10 inches. The tire has a 13.5 inch outside diameter and 6 inch section width. This combination is common on mid-size electric lift trucks rated for 3000 to 5000 lb loads. Always verify your truck documentation to confirm a 10 inch bore before ordering.
Q: Can you interchange SU 135X6X10-FT-P with tires that have a 10.5 inch bore?
A: No. A 10 inch bore tire will not fit a 10.5 inch rim, and vice versa. The tire will slip or wobble on a larger rim, or will not install on a smaller one. Match the exact bore size. If you have a 10.5 inch rim, use SU 135 X 6 X 105-TSW-EZ or SU 135X6X105-FT-EZ instead.
Q: How do you install SU 135X6X10-FT-P on a 10 inch rim?
A: Heat the polyurethane tire to 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit to increase flexibility. Use a tire press or arbor press to apply straight, even pressure and slide the tire onto the 10 inch mounting surface. Ensure the tire seats centered with no gaps or pinching. Allow the tire to cool completely before operating the truck. Do not use hammers or off-center force, as this damages the tire and rim.
Q: What maintenance is required for SU 135X6X10-FT-P?
A: Inspect the tire quarterly for flat spots, cracks, or separation from the core. Polyurethane tires can chunk if severely overloaded or used on rough surfaces. Clean the tread of debris to prevent buildup. Store unused tires in a cool, dry location away from sunlight. Polyurethane tires last 3 to 5 years in typical warehouse use. Replace when tread wear is visible or handling degrades.
Q: Is SU 135X6X10-FT-P suitable for outdoor operation?
A: SU 135X6X10-FT-P is designed primarily for indoor warehouse use on smooth, level floors. The smooth flat tread provides minimal grip on gravel, asphalt, or wet surfaces. Outdoor use will accelerate wear and reduce traction. For outdoor or rough terrain applications, choose a tire with a tread pattern such as the bar grip profile.
