LOAD WHEEL, EZ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the SU S928-EZ wheel?
A: EZ denotes a high-traction polyurethane compound engineered for wet floors, cold storage, and slippery surfaces. It does not mean easy installation. The EZ formulation provides superior grip in freezer and outdoor applications compared to standard polyurethane wheels.
Q: When should I choose the SU S928-EZ over the standard SU S928?
A: Use the S928-EZ if your equipment operates in cold storage, wet environments, or on oily floors. The high-traction compound reduces slip and improves handling. In standard dry warehouse conditions, the regular S928 is sufficient and more cost-effective.
Q: Is the SU S928-EZ compatible with the same axles and jacks as the standard S928?
A: Yes. The S928-EZ has the same bore diameter and physical dimensions as the standard S928. It is a direct wheel-only replacement. You can swap it onto your existing axle without modification, assuming the axle is straight and clean.
Q: Does the SU S928-EZ require different maintenance or greasing intervals?
A: The bearing maintenance is identical to the standard S928, but cold storage and wet environments demand more frequent greasing. Grease every 250 to 350 operating hours in freezer conditions or when exposed to moisture. Standard dry environments can run on the normal 500-hour cycle.
Q: Will the SU S928-EZ wear faster than a standard load wheel?
A: Not necessarily. The EZ compound is formulated for durability in harsh conditions. In cold or wet use, the S928-EZ often lasts longer than a standard wheel would because it grips better and reduces stress on the bearing and axle. In dry conditions, wear rates are similar.
Q: How do I verify that my SU S928-EZ is properly mounted before operation?
A: Spin the wheel by hand; it should rotate freely with no grinding or wobble. Check the cotter pin is in place and the axle nut is snug but not over-tightened. Test the jack under light load first, then gradually increase load. If you hear noise or feel vibration, stop and inspect the wheel and axle.
