Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the SU S353-XL load wheel?
A: The SU S353-XL is a 5.000 inch outer diameter by 3.625 inch width wheel, which converts to 127.00mm x 92.07mm in metric. The bore outside diameter is 2.8341 inches with a bore depth of 0.773 inches and an inside diameter of 2.5 inches. This narrower width makes it suitable for tight lateral spacing on lift truck frame designs.
Q: Is the SU S353-XL compatible with SU S358 wheels on the same truck?
A: No. Do not mix SU S353-XL and SU S358 wheels on the same truck. The S353-XL is 3.625 inches wide while the S358 is 5.000 inches wide. Mixing different widths creates uneven load distribution and handling instability. Both wheels must match in width and diameter on the same axle.
Q: What is the load capacity of the SU S353-XL wheel?
A: Load capacity depends on the material specification and truck configuration. Verify the load rating on your truck nameplate or contact the original equipment manufacturer. The narrower 3.625 inch width typically handles lower concentrated loads compared to wider wheels on the same diameter, so confirm your application before installation.
Q: Can I replace a worn SU S353-XL with any 5 inch diameter wheel?
A: No. You must use the exact width specification of 3.625 inches. Substituting with a different width wheel will cause frame interference, uneven load distribution, or binding. Always confirm the original width measurement before ordering a replacement. Cross-reference the part number on the old wheel assembly.
Q: How do I diagnose if the SU S353-XL wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe flat spots, cracks, chunks missing from the tread, or excessive wobble when rotating by hand. If the truck pulls to one side or has uneven wear across the width, the wheels may be misaligned or damaged. Spin each wheel freely and listen for grinding or binding noise. Check bearing play at the same time.
Q: What tools and process do I need to replace the SU S353-XL wheel?
A: You will need a socket set, snap ring pliers or a retaining ring removal tool, and a soft-faced mallet if the bearing is stuck. Support the truck securely on a jack and block. Remove the snap ring, slide off the old wheel, inspect the axle for corrosion or damage, apply fresh bearing grease if needed, and slide on the new wheel ensuring it seats fully. Reinstall the snap ring and verify no binding before lowering the truck.
