LOAD WHEEL,EZ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ designation mean on the SU S9433-EZ load wheel?
A: The EZ designation refers to a high-traction polyurethane compound engineered for material handling equipment in general applications as well as wet floors and cold storage environments. This is not an easy-install indicator but rather a material specification that provides superior grip and slip resistance in challenging conditions.
Q: When should I use SU S9433-EZ wheels instead of standard load wheels?
A: Use SU S9433-EZ wheels when operating in wet environments, freezer or cold storage areas, or any application requiring enhanced traction and slip resistance. Standard polyurethane wheels lose grip in these conditions, but the EZ high-traction compound maintains performance across temperature and moisture variations.
Q: Are SU S9433-EZ wheels compatible with standard electric lift truck load positions?
A: Yes, the SU S9433-EZ maintains the same mounting and dimensional specifications as equivalent standard load wheels. Verify your equipment model and serial range against the compatibility matrix to confirm fitment. Cross-reference with any OEM equivalent part numbers for your specific lift truck manufacturer.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of SU S9433-EZ wheels in cold storage applications?
A: Lifespan depends on load cycles, floor conditions, and operating temperature. The high-traction EZ compound extends durability in cold environments compared to standard wheels, but inspect regularly for tread wear. Replace wheels when tread thickness reaches 50 percent of original depth or if cracking or separation from the core occurs.
Q: Can SU S9433-EZ wheels be mixed with standard wheels on the same lift truck?
A: Do not mix EZ and standard wheels on the same truck. Mixing different traction compounds creates uneven load distribution and handling inconsistencies, particularly in slippery conditions. Install the same wheel type across all load and steer positions for balanced performance and safety.
Q: How do I verify SU S9433-EZ wheel compatibility before purchase?
A: Gather your lift truck make, model, and serial number. Cross-reference with the compatibility guide for the SU S9433-EZ or contact our parts team with your equipment details. We will confirm fitment and identify any OEM equivalents for your specific machine to ensure correct installation.
