Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the SU S994-XL differ from the standard SU S994?
A: The SU S994-XL is a variant designed for trucks or applications requiring extended load-bearing or specialized mounting geometry. The wheel diameter and width remain 5.00 inch by 3.00 inch, but the hub specification or mounting interface differs from the standard SU S994. Verify your trucks hub bore and axle length before ordering to confirm SU S994-XL compatibility.
Q: Can I substitute SU S994 for SU S994-XL on my electric lift truck?
A: No. Do not interchange SU S994 and SU S994-XL. The XL variant is specified for particular truck models and axle configurations. Installing a standard S994 on a truck designed for the XL variant can result in improper wheel seating, bearing preload issues, or lateral movement during operation. Always use the exact part number specified in your trucks service manual or contact us with your truck model and serial number for confirmation.
Q: Is SU S994-XL available as an assembly like SU S994-A?
A: SU S994-XL is the wheel tread only. If you need a pre-assembled version, order SU S994-XL-A, which includes the steel hub and sealed ball bearings pre-installed.
Q: What trucks are compatible with SU S994-XL wheels?
A: SU S994-XL is designed for select electric lift truck models with specific axle configurations. The exact compatibility depends on your trucks hub bore diameter, axle length, and bearing type. Provide your truck manufacturer, model, and serial number, and we can confirm whether SU S994-XL is the correct part for your equipment.
Q: Does the polyurethane tread on SU S994-XL have the same wear characteristics as SU S994?
A: Yes. Both S994 and S994-XL use the same high-durability polyurethane compound rated for general warehouse and factory floors. Expected lifespan is 2 to 4 years under standard material handling duty. Replace either wheel when tread wear reaches 50 percent or when visible chunks or flat spots develop.
Q: What tools do I need to install SU S994-XL?
A: A wheel press is required to remove the old wheel and press SU S994-XL onto your hub. Do not use a hammer or hand tools to force the wheel onto the axle. Improper installation can damage sealed ball bearings and the hub bore. Have a technician with access to a proper wheel press perform this replacement. Installation takes approximately 30 minutes per wheel.
