Caster Assy, Zinc Plated
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the SU STR2001FS and other zinc-plated caster assemblies?
A: The SU STR2001FS is a zinc-plated caster assembly designed for electric lift truck applications. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in standard warehouse environments. If your truck operates in wet, cold storage, or high-humidity areas, verify the wheel material separately as zinc plating alone does not protect rubber or polyurethane compounds from degradation.
Q: Can I replace a worn SU STR2001FS caster with a different brand caster assembly?
A: Yes, but you must verify mounting dimensions, wheel diameter, wheel width, bearing type, and load rating. The SU STR2001FS mounts and load capacity must match your truck model. Check your truck documentation for the original caster specifications before substituting with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or other OEM-equivalent assemblies. Mismatched casters can affect steering and load stability.
Q: What maintenance does a zinc-plated caster assembly require?
A: Inspect the caster monthly for bearing drag, wheel flat spots, and loose fasteners. Wipe zinc plating clean of salt, corrosive residue, or moisture to prevent white rust. If the wheel is worn or cracked, the entire assembly should be replaced. Lubricate the bearing pivot point per your truck manufacturers schedule, typically every 250 operating hours or quarterly.
Q: Does the SU STR2001FS fit all electric lift truck models?
A: No. Caster assemblies are model-specific and depend on truck frame, axle width, and load class. Verify your truck model, serial range, and load rating against the SU STR2001FS specification sheet before ordering. Installing an incorrectly sized caster can cause premature wear, steering problems, or safety failures.
