Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does the SU 14 X 6 X 10 SF STD POLY wheel fit?
A: The 14 inch diameter x 6 inch width poly wheel fits mid-size and full-size electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale that use 14x6 drive wheel configurations. Always verify your existing wheel size on the nameplate before ordering. The 355.60mm x 152.40mm metric equivalent confirms fitment for metric-specified equipment.
Q: Can I replace a worn polyurethane drive wheel with this SU 14 X 6 X 10 wheel?
A: Yes, if your current drive wheel is also 14 inch diameter x 6 inch width. Before installation, inspect the wheel hub and axle for wear, scoring, or corrosion. If the hub shows damage, replace it to prevent the new wheel from slipping or binding. Polyurethane wheels provide good grip on hard floors but may slip on wet or oily surfaces compared to rubber wheels.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for the 14x6 SU poly drive wheel?
A: Load capacity depends on the complete truck assembly and axle design, not the wheel alone. The poly material (polyurethane) typically handles loads up to 3500 to 5000 pounds per wheel on dual-wheel setups. Check your trucks rated capacity on the nameplate. Overloading causes premature wear, sidewall cracking, and wheel slippage.
Q: How do I diagnose if the drive wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe flat spots, chunks missing from the tread, visible cracks in the sidewall, permanent deformation, or if the wheel slips under normal load. If the wheel spins freely without binding but the truck loses traction, the tire may be glazed from oil exposure. Clean the wheel with degreaser and rough it up with sandpaper; if traction does not improve, replace it.
Q: What is the difference between the smooth flat (SF) profile and other drive wheel treads?
A: The smooth flat profile provides consistent contact on hard, level floors such as warehouse and concrete surfaces. It delivers stable drive characteristics and low rolling resistance. Specialty profiles like 1/4 radius or ribbed designs offer better water displacement on wet floors or softer grip on polished concrete. Choose based on your floor condition to maximize traction and wheel lifespan.
Q: How long does a polyurethane 14x6 drive wheel last before replacement?
A: Typical service life is 2 to 3 years with moderate daily use (8 to 10 hours per day). Wheels on trucks used in cold storage or outdoor environments wear faster. Wheels exposed to oils, greases, or acidic spills degrade quickly. Inspect wheels monthly for tread wear and sidewall cracks. Replace immediately if cracks reach 1/8 inch deep or if more than 25 percent of the original tread is worn.
