Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of SU S3000-XL?
A: SU S3000-XL has an outside diameter of 5.000 inches (127.00 mm), width of 3.937 inches (100.00 mm), bore depth of 0.748 inches, and bore outside diameter of 2.8341 inches. These metric equivalents are 5 x 3.94 and 5 x 3.937 designations. This is an extra-large width wheel designed for wider axle shafts. Always verify your existing wheel dimensions before ordering to ensure hub fit.
Q: Does the SU S3000-XL fit narrow-axle trucks?
A: No. The 3.937-inch width of SU S3000-XL is designed for wide-axle applications. Narrow-axle trucks (2.5-3.0 inch width) will not fit this wheel. Installing an oversized wheel on a narrow axle creates dangerous side-to-side wobble and uneven load distribution. Always measure the space between your truck frame rails and the axle bolt pattern before purchase.
Q: What forklift brands use SU S3000-XL wheels?
A: SU S3000-XL is commonly found on wider-frame electric pallet jacks, reach trucks, and narrow-aisle forklifts from Yale, Crown, Hyster, and Toyota in the 3,000-5,000 lb capacity range. The XL designation indicates it fits larger spindle bores. Cross-reference your truck model and serial number with the manufacturer parts diagram. Do not rely on wheel size alone—axle bore diameter is the critical fit factor.
Q: Is SU S3000-XL compatible with sealed or open bearing designs?
A: SU S3000-XL is available in both sealed cartridge bearing and open bearing configurations depending on supplier and truck design. Sealed cartridges (maintenance-free) cannot be field-repaired and require full wheel replacement. Open bearing wheels can be relubricated monthly. Verify which type your truck uses before ordering—sealed and open hub designs are not interchangeable.
Q: How should SU S3000-XL wheels be handled during storage?
A: Store wheels vertically on a clean, dry shelf away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not stack wheels on their flat face—this crushes the polyurethane and distorts the bearing. Store indoors at room temperature (60-75 degrees F). Check stored wheels every 6 months for cracks, mold, or oxidation. Bearings can seize if exposed to salt spray or humidity for extended periods.
