Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the SU S9106-XL load wheel?
A: XL indicates an extra-large diameter wheel. The SU S9106-XL has a larger diameter than standard load wheels, which improves floor clearance and may increase load capacity. Verify your truck swivel frame can accommodate the larger wheel diameter before ordering. Some trucks have frame height limitations.
Q: Can I use the SU S9106-XL wheel as a direct replacement for my current standard-size load wheel?
A: No. The SU S9106-XL is larger and may not fit your current bearing assembly or swivel frame. Measure your truck swivel frame opening and compare to the SU S9106-XL diameter. If the wheel is too large, it will bind or interfere with the truck chassis. Always verify fit before ordering.
Q: Is the SU S9106-XL wheel only available as a wheel, or can I get a complete assembly?
A: Verify availability with your supplier. Some XL wheels are sold as wheels only, while others are available as pre-assembled units with bearing. If only the wheel is available, confirm that your bearing and axle pin are compatible before purchase.
Q: What is the benefit of using the SU S9106-XL over a standard load wheel?
A: A larger wheel provides better floor clearance on bumpy surfaces and can improve truck stability and load distribution. The SU S9106-XL may also reduce rolling resistance compared to smaller wheels. However, the larger diameter may require a more powerful bearing assembly. Consult your truck manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
Q: How often does the SU S9106-XL wheel need replacement?
A: Wheel lifespan varies by usage and floor type. Inspect the SU S9106-XL every 100 operating hours for flat spots, cracks, or chunks missing from the tread. Replace when visible damage is present or the wheel no longer rolls smoothly. Rough outdoor floors will require replacement sooner than smooth warehouse floors.
