Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL and standard polyurethane wheels?
A: SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL uses Cushothane XL 97A material, which is a harder, more durable polyurethane blend designed for heavy-duty and high-cycle applications. The 97A durometer rating provides better wear resistance and longer service life compared to standard polyurethane, at the cost of slightly reduced shock absorption.
Q: Is SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL compatible with jacks designed for standard poly wheels?
A: Yes. SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL has the same 15x6 dimensions and 11.75 inch bolt circle as standard poly wheels. It installs on the same hub. However, due to higher hardness, it may transmit more vibration to the jack and operator. Verify your application supports the firmer material before upgrading.
Q: Can I mix SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL wheels with regular poly wheels on the same jack?
A: No. Do not mix materials or hardness grades. The different compression and wear rates will cause uneven handling, stability issues, and unpredictable steering. Always replace all four wheels with the same material and specification at the same time.
Q: Why would I choose SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL over standard polyurethane?
A: Choose Cushothane XL 97A for high-frequency use, outdoor or rough floor environments, or overloaded applications. The XL grade resists flat-spotting, cracks, and tearout better than standard poly. Cost is higher, but total cost of ownership is lower due to extended wheel life reducing downtime and replacement frequency.
Q: What temperature and chemical exposure can SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL withstand?
A: Cushothane XL 97A operates safely from 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit indoors. Avoid direct prolonged sunlight and keep away from oils, solvents, and harsh chemicals, which degrade the material. If your facility uses caustic floor treatments, verify compatibility with the wheel supplier before deployment.
Q: How do I know when SU 15X6X11.75-SF-XL wheels need replacement?
A: Even Cushothane XL eventually wears. Replace when visible chunks are missing, deep cracks run radially from the hub, or the wheel is visibly smaller in diameter than new. Loss of round shape, excessive bounce, or steering drift signals bearing wear underneath, which may require full wheel replacement.
