Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the GW 219 axle and what does it replace?
A: The GW 219 is a load wheel axle for manual pallet jacks. It is cross-compatible with part numbers GP 219 and GP219. All three part numbers are interchangeable and provide the same fit and function.
Q: Are GW 219, GP 219, and GP219 truly equivalent?
A: Yes. GW 219 is equivalent to GP 219 and GP219. They are manufactured to the same specification and are dimensionally and functionally identical. You can substitute any of these part numbers based on availability and pricing.
Q: How do I verify that GW 219 will fit my pallet jack?
A: Check your jack documentation or nameplate for the original part number. If it lists GW 219, GP 219, or GP219, the replacement is correct. Physically compare axle diameter and length if the documentation is unavailable.
Q: What symptoms mean the GW 219 axle needs replacement?
A: Replace if the load wheel has excessive side play, the wheel does not roll smoothly, you hear metallic grinding or squeaking, the axle is visibly bent or cracked, or the wheel alignment is off-center causing uneven tire wear.
Q: Is installation of the GW 219 tool-intensive or time-consuming?
A: No. Installation takes 10 to 20 minutes with basic hand tools: wrench or socket for retaining nuts and possibly a rubber mallet to tap out the old axle. Support the jack safely on blocks or a hoist and work on one end at a time.
Q: Do I need to order new wheel bearings with the GW 219 axle?
A: Not always, but it is recommended. If the bearing still spins freely and shows no rust or rough spots, you can reuse it. If it grinds or wobbles, order new sealed bearings to match the axle bore diameter and load rating.
