Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What trucks use the SU S763 load wheel?
A: The SU S763 is designed for manual and electric pallet jacks, stand-on ride trucks, and narrow-aisle lift models manufactured between 2010-2020. It fits hubs with 1.5-inch bore and 2.5-inch width. Cross-reference your truck model number before ordering; using the wrong wheel size causes improper tracking and accelerated bearing wear.
Q: What are the dimensions and material of the SU S763?
A: The SU S763 is a cast polyurethane load wheel measuring 4 inches outside diameter by 2.5 inches width. Material is standard Polyurethane compound suitable for indoor warehouse floors only. Outside diameter 4.0 inch, inside diameter 1.5 inch bore, width 2.5 inch side to side. Not rated for outdoor or rough surface use.
Q: Is the SU S763 compatible with older lift truck models?
A: The SU S763 may fit older trucks but verify bore diameter and width match your existing wheel before ordering. Some pre-2010 models use 1.25-inch bore or 2-inch width; installing an SU S763 will not fit these hubs. Measure your current wheel and provide those dimensions to your parts supplier for confirmation.
Q: What is the load capacity of the SU S763 wheel?
A: The SU S763 supports 3,000-4,500 pounds total load capacity depending on truck configuration and number of wheels. Do not exceed manufacturer load ratings; overloading causes wheel deformation and bearing damage. Verify your truck weight capacity in the owner manual before operating.
Q: When should I replace the SU S763 load wheel?
A: Replace the SU S763 when tread wear exceeds 1/8 inch depth loss, flat spots develop across the rolling surface, or the wheel no longer maintains round contact. If the truck pulls to one side or creates vibration during operation, the wheel may be deformed and requires replacement. Do not attempt to resurface or repair worn wheels.
Q: How do I install and maintain the SU S763 load wheel?
A: Install the SU S763 by removing the hub fasteners with a socket wrench and sliding the new wheel onto the bore. Use a dead-blow mallet to seat the wheel firmly on the hub shaft. Reinstall fasteners to prevent wheel detachment. Inspect monthly for debris and wear. Keep wheels clean to prevent corrosion of the hub bore. Rotate wheels every 500 operating hours for even wear.
