Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE and the standard SU 9X5X5-SF-R tire?
A: The SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE is a rubber drive tire designed specifically for use on granite, concrete, or stone tile floors. The rubber compound is formulated for superior grip and reduced marking on polished granite surfaces. The standard SU 9X5X5-SF-R is a general-purpose warehouse tire. Use the granite version only on granite or polished stone floors for best traction and floor protection.
Q: Will the SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE leave marks on polished granite or tile flooring?
A: The GRANITE version is formulated to minimize marking on polished surfaces, but some light marking may still occur under heavy loads or with aggressive operation. If the tire shows visible rubber transfer on the floor, clean the floor with appropriate tile cleaner and inspect the tire for degradation. If the rubber compound is wearing unevenly or the marking is excessive, the floor surface may be damaged or the tire may need replacement.
Q: Can I use the SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE on standard warehouse concrete floors?
A: Yes, the SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE will work on concrete, but it is optimized for granite and polished stone. The compound may wear faster on rough concrete than a standard warehouse tire. If your facility uses both granite showroom areas and rough concrete warehouse areas, use the granite version only in the polished areas to extend tire life.
Q: What is the load rating and speed limit for the SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE?
A: The SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE maintains the same load rating of 3020 lbs and maximum speed of 6 miles per hour as standard rubber tires. Load and speed ratings do not change because the tire is used on polished floors. Always verify that your lift truck is rated for the required load before operating.
Q: How often should I replace the SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE tire?
A: Expected lifespan on polished granite is 2 to 4 years with normal use (8 hour shifts, 2000 to 2500 lbs average load). Lifespan depends on traffic volume and floor conditions. Replace when tread depth is less than 1/4 inch, or if the rubber compound hardens, cracks, or loses traction. Inspect monthly for signs of wear or damage.
Q: Is the SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE a press-on tire or does it come with a hub?
A: The SU 9X5X5-SF-R-GRANITE is a tire only (press-on style with steel core band). It does not include a hub. If you need the tire pre-mounted on a hub, you will need to order a separate hub assembly and have the tire pressed on by a professional mounting service. Contact your parts supplier for hub availability and custom assembly options.
