Assembly Options:
Dual and Triple Wheel Assemblies:
The optimal solution for pallet trucks that undergo frequent tight-turns typically found in single-direction style warehouse operations. During cornering, the outside of a wheel tries to rotate faster to compensate for a larger turning radius. As a result, this can lead to one side of the load wheel to scuff and abraid quicker, leading to a common failure known as "coning". Splitting the longer width load wheel into 2 or 3 pieces not only solves the rotation differences, but also reduces heat build up to prevent bond separation.

A. Seller warrants to Buyer only, that Goods (or portions thereof manufactured by Seller) shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship which are identified to Seller in writing within the one (1) year warranty period following the shipment of the Goods to Buyer, or within the usable work life of the goods, whichever comes first ("Warranty period"), and be free from bond failure until the end of usable work life of the Goods, subject to the disclaimers and limitations of the Agreement. Absence of such written claims during this Warranty period will constitute a waiver of all claims with respect to the Goods.

C. Seller's warranties shall apply only if the Goods: (i) have been installed, maintained, and used in conformity with instructions and recommendations furnished by Seller from time to time, if any; (ii) have not been subjected to misuse, movement of the structure, physical abuse, installation error, negligence or accident; and, (iii) have not been altered or repaired by persons other than Seller in a manner, which, in the judgment of Seller, adversely affects the condition of the Goods.

Site Proven, Customer Preferred
“I was experiencing repeat bond failures at one of my customers - a large food distribution center. I had tried many different products and found nothing would meet my customer’s work-life expectations. Superior Tire took the time to meet with my customer and identify a solution - the Cushothane® XL™ compound. Since using the Cushothane® XL™, my customer has been extremely happy. They no longer have to spend extra time and money on maintenance and new wheels from premature bond failures. They were so impressed with the work-life that I have now made this the “compound of choice” at other customer locations. With the Cushothane® XL™, I know that my customers are guaranteed to have no bond failures."
