Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included with the SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A and is it ready to install?
A: The SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A includes a Cushothane XL 97A polyurethane tire pre-mounted on a machined steel hub. The assembly is ready to install onto your lift truck axle. No additional mounting or hub machining is required, which saves labor time.
Q: What is the bore diameter of the hub on the SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A?
A: The hub bore is 5 inches (127 mm) inside diameter. Before installation, verify that your axle shaft or wheel pin matches this diameter. If your equipment uses a different bore size, you will need to order a custom hub or select a different wheel assembly.
Q: Can I reuse the hub from a worn SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A by mounting a new tire?
A: Yes, if the hub shows no cracks, scoring, or wear. However, if the hub bore is damaged or oversized, remounting a tire will not hold. Inspect the hub interior closely. If the bore diameter has enlarged or the hub walls are cracked, replace the entire wheel assembly with a new SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A or SU 9X5X5-SF-R-A.
Q: Is the SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A hub suitable for high-speed or outdoor industrial use?
A: The SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A is designed for indoor warehouse and light industrial use at speeds up to 4 to 5 MPH. The Cushothane compound and standard steel hub are not rated for outdoor exposure, extreme temperature swings, or continuous high-speed operation. For outdoor or high-stress applications, evaluate rubber tire assemblies such as SU 9X5X5-SF-R-A.
Q: What maintenance is required for the SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A hub during normal operation?
A: Monthly: Inspect the hub for cracks or scoring. Clean debris from the bore. Check that the wheel sits flush on the axle with no wobble. If the hub bore is damaged or the wheel rocks, do not operate the truck. Replace the wheel assembly immediately to prevent axle damage or safety hazards.
Q: How do I remove the SU 9X5X5-SF-P-XL-A wheel from my lift truck?
A: Raise the truck or block it securely so the wheel is off the ground. Remove the wheel retaining pin, clip, or bolt that holds the hub to the axle. Slide the wheel assembly straight off the axle. Do not tap or force the hub off, as this can damage the bore. If the wheel is stuck, apply penetrating oil and wait 15 minutes before attempting removal again.
