LOAD WHEEL
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does the SU S985 load wheel fit?
A: The SU S985 is a standard load wheel commonly used on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric pallet jacks. Always verify your machine serial range and wheel mounting diameter before ordering. If you have the old wheel, the simplest check is comparing the bore diameter and overall dimensions to confirm match.
Q: How do I know if my load wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the load wheel when you notice flat spots, cracks, chunks missing from the tread, or if the wheel does not spin freely when lifted off the ground. If the jack pulls to one side during operation, one wheel may be worn while the other is still good. Inspect both wheels together to catch early wear.
Q: Is the SU S985 a direct replacement or does it require modification?
A: The SU S985 is a plug-and-play replacement on compatible models. It slides onto the existing axle and wheel pin. No tools or modifications needed beyond a wrench to remove the old wheel pin and snap ring. Always replace both wheels at the same time to prevent uneven wear and pulling.
Q: What is the load capacity of the SU S985?
A: The SU S985 supports the same load rating as your complete pallet jack unit. Individual wheel load capacity is one-half of the machine rated capacity (divided among front and rear wheels). Do not exceed the jack manufacturers stated capacity even if the wheel appears undamaged.
Q: Can I use the SU S985 on wet floors or in cold storage?
A: Standard load wheels like the SU S985 may become slippery on wet floors or in temperatures below 40°F. For wet or cold environments, consider replacing with an EZ-suffix wheel, which features High Traction polyurethane compound designed specifically for material handling in those conditions.
