Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the SU 13.5X6X8-SF-R rubber drive tire and the SU 13.5X7X8-SF-P polyurethane press-on?
A: The SU 13.5X6X8-SF-R is a 6 inch wide rubber drive tire while the SU 13.5X7X8-SF-P is a 7 inch wide polyurethane press-on. Both share the 13.5 inch diameter, but rubber provides better marking performance and durability on rough floors. Polyurethane is lighter and suitable for clean environments. Choose based on floor type and load requirements.
Q: What is the exact outside diameter and width of the SU 13.5X6X8-SF-R in both inches and millimeters?
A: The SU 13.5X6X8-SF-R has an outside diameter of 13.500 inches (342.90 mm) and a width of 6.000 inches (152.40 mm). These dimensions ensure compatibility with 8 inch bore wheels on electric lift trucks and pallet jacks.
Q: Can the SU 13.5X6X8-SF-R be used to replace a worn smooth flat drive tire on any lift truck?
A: No. Before installation, verify that your truck wheel has an 8 inch bore and accepts a 13.5 inch diameter tire. Check the serial range and original equipment specifications. If your truck uses a different bore size or diameter, this tire cannot be substituted. Consult your truck documentation or contact the manufacturer for correct part numbers.
Q: How should the SU 13.5X6X8-SF-R rubber drive tire be maintained to extend service life?
A: Inspect the tire regularly for cracks, flat spots, or excessive wear. Keep wheels and tires clean and dry to prevent buildup. Check that the tire is properly seated on the wheel rim and not separating. Do not exceed the load rating for your specific truck. Store tires in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and ozone sources. Replace when wear depth reaches the minimum specification for your application.
Q: What surface conditions is the SU 13.5X6X8-SF-R smooth flat tire designed for?
A: The smooth flat profile is engineered for smooth to moderately textured concrete and polished warehouse floors. It provides excellent traction and minimal marking on clean indoor surfaces. The rubber compound offers abrasion resistance for extended warehouse duty. Do not use on wet, oily, or highly textured outdoor surfaces as traction and safety may be compromised.
