POLY LOAD WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SU S157-A a complete ready-to-install assembly?
A: Yes. The SU S157-A is a complete poly load wheel assembly. It includes the 95A durometer wheel, bearing, and axle pre-assembled and ready to mount onto your lift truck or pallet jack. No additional components are required.
Q: What tools do I need to install the SU S157-A assembly?
A: Installation typically requires a socket wrench set, possibly a rubber mallet to seat the assembly, and basic hand tools. Refer to your lift truck manual for the exact fastener sizes. Most assemblies bolt or pin directly to the truck frame or wheel carriage with no special tools needed.
Q: Can I use the SU S157-A on different lift truck models?
A: The SU S157-A is designed for specific models. Verify your lift truck brand and model number against the product documentation to confirm compatibility. Using the wrong assembly can result in poor fit, unsafe mounting, or uneven wheel contact. When in doubt, contact parts support with your truck model and serial number.
Q: How often should I service or replace the SU S157-A assembly?
A: Service life depends on load, surface conditions, and operating hours. In typical warehouse service, expect 1,500 to 3,000 operating hours before replacement. Inspect the wheel for flat spots, cracks, and tread wear every 500 hours. Replace the entire assembly if the wheel is damaged or if the bearing spins roughly or shows play.
Q: What should I check if the SU S157-A assembly causes steering or pulling problems?
A: First, confirm the assembly is installed straight and all fasteners are tight. Spin the wheel by hand; it should rotate freely without wobbling or binding. Check the axle for bending or corrosion. If steering remains poor after these checks, the bearing may be damaged or the tire profile may be uneven. Replace the assembly if bearing play or tire defects are found.
