Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU S898-XL and SU S898-XL-A?
A: SU S898-XL is the load wheel only. SU S898-XL-A is the complete load wheel assembly that includes the wheel plus bearing and hardware. Choose the wheel-only SKU if you are replacing just the wheel on an existing assembly, or select the assembly version if you need a ready-to-install complete unit.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the SU S898-XL load wheel?
A: Outside diameter is 3.25 inches (82.55 mm). Width side to side is 5.625 inches (142.88 mm). Inside diameter is 1.938 inches. Bore depth is 1.8 inches and bore outside diameter is 2.0467 inches. Tread profile is 1/4 radius. Always verify these dimensions against your truck schematic before ordering.
Q: Can I install the SU S898-XL wheel on a different lift truck model?
A: Compatibility depends on your truck model and axle configuration. The bore diameter 2.0467 inches must match your axle shaft size exactly. If your truck uses a different bore diameter or axle width, this wheel will not fit. Cross-reference your truck serial number and model against the parts manual or contact technical support with your truck specifications.
Q: What tools do I need to replace the SU S898-XL wheel?
A: You will need a socket wrench or adjustable wrench sized to fit your axle retaining hardware (typically 1/2 inch or 9/16 inch), a tire lever or wheel puller if the wheel is stuck, and possibly a rubber mallet. If bearings are being replaced, you may need bearing removal and installation tools. Refer to your truck service manual for the complete tool list and torque specifications.
Q: How often should the SU S898-XL wheel be inspected or replaced?
A: Inspect wheels every 500 operating hours or once per quarter for visible cracking, flat spots, uneven wear, or tread separation. Replace when tread depth is worn to 1/8 inch or if cracks or flat spots are visible. Under heavy load or continuous use, wheels may need replacement every 12 to 18 months. Monitor bearing play during routine maintenance by spinning the wheel by hand to check for grinding or excessive movement.
