Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications and profile type for the SU 13.5X6X10-FT-P-A?
A: The SU 13.5X6X10-FT-P-A is 13.500 inches diameter by 6.000 inches width (342.90mm by 152.40mm). FT indicates a forklift tire tread pattern, and this model is supplied as a complete assembly (A designation), meaning the wheel tire comes already mounted on a hub assembly ready for installation.
Q: What does the assembly A designation mean and what is included?
A: Assembly designation means the polyurethane tire is pre-mounted on a steel hub with bearings and axle hardware included. You receive a complete wheel unit ready to bolt onto your lift truck axle. This eliminates the need for press-on installation and reduces assembly labor.
Q: Is the SU 13.5X6X10-FT-P-A compatible with standard pallet jacks and forklifts?
A: This assembly wheel fits lift trucks and forklifts designed for 13.5 inch wheels with 6 inch width. Verify your equipment frame width and axle mounting pattern before ordering. Assembly wheels are heavier than press-on wheels, so confirm your axle support brackets and bearings can handle the weight.
Q: What is the difference between press-on and assembly wheels?
A: Press-on wheels slide over an existing hub. Assembly wheels come as a complete unit with hub, bearings, and hardware already integrated. Assembly wheels eliminate installation labor and reduce damage risk during mounting. Press-on wheels are lighter and cheaper but require more installation skill.
Q: What maintenance is required for the assembly wheel SU 13.5X6X10-FT-P-A?
A: Inspect the polyurethane tire for wear, cracks, and chunks monthly. Check bearing play by rotating the wheel and listening for noise or grinding. If bearings are sealed, no lubrication is needed. If you hear bearing noise or feel excessive play, the bearing cartridge may need replacement. Do not overheat bearings with continuous high-speed operation.
Q: How long does a polyurethane assembly wheel typically last?
A: The polyurethane tire typically lasts 6 to 18 months depending on load and floor conditions. The bearing cartridge should last 3 to 5 years with normal use and proper maintenance. Once the tire is worn, the entire assembly must be replaced since the tire cannot be replaced separately.
