Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is SU S265-XL compatible with Yale ERP pallet jacks?
A: SU S265-XL is compatible with most late-model Yale electric reach trucks and pallet jacks. Cross-check your truck serial number and model against the Yale parts catalog. Some older units (pre-2010) may require adapter rings. Verify the bore diameter and axle diameter match before installation to avoid play or binding.
Q: How do I know if my load wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe flat spots, cracks, severe uneven wear, or reduced roll resistance. Push the truck by hand—a failing wheel will create grinding noise or drag. Rotate the wheel off the ground by hand; it should spin freely for 3-5 seconds before stopping. If it stops in under 1 second, the bearing is failing and the wheel assembly must be replaced.
Q: What load capacity does the SU S265-XL wheel support?
A: The SU S265-XL is an extra-large load wheel designed for heavy-duty applications. Static load rating is approximately 1,500 to 2,000 lbs per wheel depending on material composition and bearing specification. Always refer to your trucks nameplate and parts manual for axle-specific load limits, as total truck capacity is determined by the weakest component.
Q: Do I need special tools to install SU S265-XL?
A: Installation requires a basic socket set, wheel puller (if the wheel is seized), and a torque wrench set to the truck manufacturer specifications (typically 15-25 ft-lbs). Remove the axle pin or bolt, slide off the old wheel, and install the new one. Do not hammer the wheel on or off—use a bearing puller to prevent bore damage. Ensure the wheel spins freely before loading.
Q: How often should SU S265-XL wheels be serviced?
A: Inspect load wheels monthly under normal use (40+ hours per week). Grease sealed bearings every 6 months or 500 operating hours. If bearings are open, lubricate every month. Replace wheels every 2-3 years in high-duty environments (frequent impact, wet floors) or 3-5 years in standard warehouse use. Monitor for wear and replace immediately if bearing noise develops.
