Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the SU 14x5x11.25-TSW-P polyurethane wheel?
A: The SU 14x5x11.25-TSW-P has an outside diameter of 14.000 inches (355.60mm) and a width of 5.000 inches (127.00mm). The designation TSW indicates a tapered side wall drive tire profile. This is a press-on wheel design intended for power-driven or load-driving applications on electric lift trucks.
Q: What is the difference between TSW (tapered side wall) and standard tread profiles?
A: The TSW (tapered side wall) profile features angled outer walls that allow the wheel to compress and conform to floor irregularities while maintaining grip under load. This design provides better traction for drive wheels compared to straight-wall load wheels. TSW wheels are suitable for powered applications but not for load-only wheels. Do not use TSW wheels as load wheels on passive swivel casters.
Q: Is the SU 14x5x11.25-TSW-P a press-on or hub-mounted wheel?
A: The SU 14x5x11.25-TSW-P is a press-on design, indicated by the P designation. This wheel is compressed directly onto a wheel hub without a separate hub core. Installation requires a press with a load cell to achieve proper interference fit. Do not attempt manual installation. The bore diameter 11.25 indicates the hub size. Consult the equipment manual for correct press tonnage.
Q: What floor conditions are suitable for the SU 14x5x11.25-TSW-P?
A: The polyurethane material provides excellent traction on smooth concrete, warehouse floors, and outdoor pavement. It resists oil and water exposure better than elastomer alternatives. However, avoid extremely hot surfaces above 140 degrees Fahrenheit, which soften polyurethane. Do not use on rough or abrasive concrete that accelerates tread wear. Rotate or replace wheels showing uneven wear patterns.
Q: How do I remove the SU 14x5x11.25-TSW-P press-on wheel without damaging it?
A: Removal of a press-on wheel requires a hydraulic press and a suitable removal sleeve that distributes load evenly around the bore. Do not use hand tools, shaft pullers, or lateral hammering, which will damage the hub or wheel. Heat application to 140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit can ease removal. After removal, inspect the hub for scoring or corrosion. Clean the hub thoroughly before installing a new wheel.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the SU 14x5x11.25-TSW-P drive wheel?
A: Polyurethane drive wheels typically last 18 to 48 months depending on load, speed, and floor condition. Tread wear indicator grooves help identify replacement timing. Replace when tread depth reduces by more than 30 percent or when you observe flat-spotting. Drive wheels wear faster than load wheels due to rotational stress. Regular surface cleaning and inspection extend service life.
