Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the SU S9814-SP-XL and SU S9814-SP-XL-A?
A: The SU S9814-SP-XL is a wheel only. The SU S9814-SP-XL-A is a complete assembly that includes the wheel, hub, bearings, and all mounting hardware pre-assembled and ready to install. The assembly option eliminates the need for pressing the wheel onto a hub in the field and speeds up replacement.
Q: Can I use the SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly on my lift truck if it currently has standard wheels?
A: Yes, provided your truck has adequate frame clearance for the larger XL diameter. The SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly mounts directly to the axle using the same fasteners as standard wheels. Always verify truck model compatibility before ordering. Verify wheel mounting bolt pattern and axle diameter match the SU S9814-SP-XL-A specifications to avoid fitment issues.
Q: Is the SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly better than replacing the wheel separately?
A: Yes. The assembly includes factory-pressed wheel and newly installed bearings, eliminating field pressing, bearing adjustment, and alignment steps. This reduces installation time from 1-2 hours to 20-30 minutes and lowers the risk of incorrect bearing preload or hub damage. Use the assembly option for faster turnaround and guaranteed fitment quality.
Q: What is the load rating for the SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly?
A: The SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly is rated for the same load capacity as your lift trucks design specification. Refer to your trucks nameplate or documentation for maximum rated load. The assembly rating applies to continuous industrial duty. Overloading voids warranty and shortens bearing and wheel lifespan.
Q: Do the bearings in the SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly require lubrication?
A: Most SU assemblies ship with sealed or pre-lubricated bearings requiring no field lubrication. Check the product documentation for bearing type. If bearings are grease-packed, lubricate per the relubrication schedule in your lift trucks manual, typically every 250-500 operating hours. Do not over-grease, as excess grease will heat bearings and accelerate wear.
Q: How do I install the SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly?
A: Raise the truck using a hoist or jack. Remove fasteners from the old wheel assembly. Pull the old assembly straight toward you and set aside. Slide the new SU S9814-SP-XL-A assembly onto the axle, align mounting holes, and hand-tighten fasteners first. Use a torque wrench to tighten to 35-45 ft-lbs (verify your truck manual). Spin the wheel to confirm smooth, quiet operation. Lower the truck and test under load.
