Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models fit the SU 248-XL-A load wheel assembly?
A: The SU 248-XL-A is a 3.25 inch diameter by 6 inch width load wheel assembly (82.55mm x 152.40mm metric). It fits any electric lift truck or pallet jack with a 1.875 inch inside diameter bore and 1.9795 inch bore outside diameter. Before ordering, verify your jacks existing wheel bore diameter, width spacing, and mounting configuration to confirm compatibility. If your jack currently uses a different width wheel, the SU 248-XL-A may require frame or bracket modification.
Q: How does the SU 248-XL-A compare to the SU 348 wheel?
A: Both wheels share the same 3.25 inch outer diameter, but differ in width and material. The SU 248-XL-A is 6 inches wide and uses Cushothane EZ material, while the SU 348 is 5.75 inches wide and uses Cushothane XL material. The bore specifications also differ: SU 248-XL-A has a 1.875 inch inside diameter, while SU 348 has a 1.938 inch inside diameter. Do not substitute one for the other without confirming your jacks bore specifications and width spacing.
Q: What is the load capacity and operating limit for the SU 248-XL-A?
A: The SU 248-XL-A uses Cushothane EZ polyurethane material, which provides good abrasion resistance and durability on indoor smooth floors. This wheel material is rated for standard pallet jack loads of 2000 to 5500 pounds depending on your jacks frame capacity and the number of wheels. Do not exceed your jacks maximum rated capacity. Operate only on clean, dry, indoor floors. Wet, oily, or debris-covered surfaces reduce grip and may cause slippage or premature wear.
Q: What tools and steps are required to replace the SU 248-XL-A assembly?
A: Replacement requires lifting the jack safely and removing the wheel mounting bolts or axle pin. You will need an appropriately sized wrench or socket set. Once removed, slide the old assembly off the axle and install the new SU 248-XL-A by reversing the process. Ensure all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications and the wheel spins freely without binding. Do not operate the jack until all wheels are secure and properly installed. If bolt holes do not align, stop and verify the correct SKU for your jacks configuration.
Q: How long does the SU 248-XL-A wheel last and what maintenance is needed?
A: Under normal conditions, Cushothane EZ wheels last 18 to 36 months depending on daily usage hours and floor conditions. Inspect the wheel monthly for flat spots, cracks, or uneven wear. Clean dirt and debris from the wheel tread and bore regularly. Rotate wheels if uneven wear develops. Do not use silicone-based lubricants on polyurethane wheels as they cause degradation. If the wheel develops flat spots or does not spin freely, replacement is necessary. Replace all four wheels at the same time to maintain consistent performance.
Q: Is the SU 248-XL-A available as a bare wheel or only as an assembly?
A: The SU 248-XL-A is sold as a complete load wheel assembly that includes the wheel, hub, and bore components ready to install. If you need only the wheel portion or replacement hub components, verify availability under separate SKUs such as SU 248 (bare wheel) or contact technical support with your jack model and serial range. Do not attempt to disassemble the SU 248-XL-A assembly as components are engineered for a specific fit.
