Product Description
This load wheel kit includes two black ultra-polyurethane load wheels with a 70D durometer, along with load roller assemblies featuring bearings, axles, and fasteners. Designed for seamless compatibility with Atlas and Zenith Type 9 equipment, these wheels provide quiet operation and are non-marking, making them suitable for display floors, carpeting, and warehouses. They offer greater durability compared to standard polyurethane, reducing the frequency of replacements while also being ideal for cold storage applications or environments prone to rust.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Atlas, model Zenith. SKU: GWK-ATZ-LW

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does GWK-ATZ-LW fit Atlas Zenith Type 9 jacks made before 2010?
A: Yes, if the jack frame is labeled Atlas Zenith Type 9 or Zenith 9. The wheel mount geometry has remained consistent across decades for this model line. Verify the frame plate or serial number matches Type 9 specification before ordering. If unsure, contact the manufacturer with your serial range.
Q: Is this a load wheel kit or a complete wheel kit for front and rear?
A: Load wheels only. GWK-ATZ-LW supplies two front black ultra-polyurethane load wheels with 70D durometer, complete with load roller assemblies, bearings, axles, and fasteners. Rear steer wheels are not included. For a complete kit with steer wheels, order GWK-ATZ-CK instead.
Q: Why is 70D durometer better than the standard 92A wheels my jack came with?
A: 70D wheels are harder and last 40-60% longer than 92A wheels in high-traffic warehouses. They roll smoother, require fewer replacements, and cost less per year. 92A is softer, so it grips ramps better and provides a quieter ride on hard concrete. Choose 70D for durability in busy facilities; use 92A if ramp traction or ride quality is critical.
Q: What installation steps are required to swap out load wheels on an Atlas Type 9?
A: Steps: place the jack on a flat, level surface and lock the outriggers or base. Remove the fasteners (typically bolts or pins) holding the first load wheel axle to the frame. Slide the old wheel and axle out. Insert the new axle with the 70D load wheel assembly, ensuring the axle seals fully. Install and torque fasteners to 30-35 Nm. Repeat for the second load wheel. Spin each wheel to verify smooth rotation and alignment.
Q: Are the 70D black wheels non-marking on polished concrete and retail floors?
A: Yes, the ultra-polyurethane material is non-marking on polished concrete, display floors, and retail carpeting. The black color does not transfer to floors. You can safely operate this jack in customer-facing retail or clean warehouses without floor damage. Keep wheels clean and dry for best appearance.
Q: How do I diagnose bearing failure in the load roller assemblies?
A: Signs of bearing failure: wheel wobbles side-to-side when grabbed and shaken (more than 2mm play); grinding or rough noise when spinning the wheel freely; wheel rolls slower than the other side; bearing area is hot to touch. If detected, do not continue use. Remove the wheel, inspect the bearing for cracks or scoring, and replace the load roller assembly. Continuing operation risks frame damage.
