Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does SU S248-XL-A include, and is it ready to bolt onto my lift truck?
A: SU S248-XL-A is a complete load wheel assembly including the wheel, hub, and fasteners. It is ready to install on most electric lift trucks and pallet jacks designed for 3.25 inch diameter by 6 inch width wheels. Verify your equipment manual for axle bolt pattern and torque specifications before installation.
Q: How do I install SU S248-XL-A on my lift truck, and what tools do I need?
A: Raise the lift truck and support it safely with jack stands. Remove the axle bolt using the appropriate wrench or socket matching your axle bolt head size, typically 1/2 inch or 9/16 inch. Slide off the old assembly. Align the hub bore with the axle and slide SU S248-XL-A onto the axle. Replace and tighten the axle bolt to the torque specification in your equipment manual, typically 30 to 50 foot pounds. Rotate the wheel by hand to confirm smooth operation before lowering the truck.
Q: Is SU S248-XL-A equivalent to OEM wheel assemblies from Yale, Raymond, or Toyota, and can I use it interchangeably?
A: SU S248-XL-A is dimensionally equivalent to OEM 3.25 inch by 6 inch load wheel assemblies across most major brands. Cross-compatibility depends on matching axle bolt pattern and bore diameter. Before purchase, verify that your lift truck uses a 1.875 inch bore with an axle configuration compatible with SU S248-XL-A specifications. Contact the parts supplier with your lift truck model number for confirmation.
Q: What maintenance does SU S248-XL-A require to extend its service life?
A: Inspect the wheel and hub weekly for cracks, flat spots, or material separation. Wipe the wheel clean to remove floor debris and ensure smooth rotation. Tighten the axle bolt monthly if the lift truck is used daily; vibration can loosen fasteners over time. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the hub bore. If the wheel begins to wobble or bind, remove and inspect for wear; worn assemblies must be replaced.
Q: Can I replace just the wheel on SU S248-XL-A if the hub is still good?
A: Yes. If your hub is not damaged, you can order the wheel separately as SU S248-XL and reuse your existing hub. To remove the wheel from the hub, you may need a wheel puller tool if the wheel is tight on the bore. Inspect the bore inside the hub for damage or debris before installing a new wheel; a damaged bore will cause the new wheel to fail prematurely.
Q: What is the difference between SU S248-XL-A and SU S249-A, and which do I need?
A: SU S248-XL-A is 3.25 inch diameter by 6 inch width; SU S249-A is a different size. Measure your existing load wheel or consult your lift truck manual to determine the correct size. Installing the wrong size wheel can cause steering problems, excessive wear, or assembly damage. Do not interchange based on brand alone; verify dimensions first.
