Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the SU STR1463 caster assembly?
A: The SU STR1463 is compatible with Yale and Crown electric lift trucks manufactured between 2005 and 2012. Verify compatibility by checking your truck nameplate for the model number. Contact us with your model and serial number if you are uncertain.
Q: What is the weight limit for the SU STR1463 caster assembly?
A: The SU STR1463 is rated for a maximum load of 5,000 pounds per axle when used as a pair on a lift truck. This rating assumes proper maintenance and normal indoor warehouse operation. Exceeding this load will shorten bearing life and may damage the housing.
Q: Can the SU STR1463 be used in cold storage below 0 degrees Fahrenheit?
A: The standard SU STR1463 is not recommended for temperatures below 15 degrees Fahrenheit due to standard polyurethane wheel brittleness. For cold storage use, order the SU STR1463-EZ, which has high-traction polyurethane designed to remain flexible and grip ice and cold surfaces.
Q: How do I replace a worn wheel on the SU STR1463?
A: The wheel is mounted on a press-fit axle. You will need a hydraulic press to remove the old wheel safely. Press the new wheel onto the axle using the same method. Do not attempt to drive or hammer the wheel on or off, as this will damage the axle or bearing.
Q: What symptoms indicate the SU STR1463 bearings are failing?
A: Failing bearings will produce a grinding or squealing sound when the wheel turns under load. The wheel may feel loose or wobbly on the axle. The caster may also show resistance to rolling or drag to one side. Replace the assembly immediately if these symptoms appear.
