Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which pallet jack models is the GWK-BTU-CK complete wheel kit designed for?
A: The GWK-BTU-CK is compatible with BT L2000-U and L2300-U manual pallet jacks. The U suffix denotes ultra-lift models with specific wheel mounting geometry. Do not install on non-U models such as L2000 or L2300 without the U designation, as fastener locations and dimensions differ.
Q: What components are included in this complete kit?
A: The GWK-BTU-CK includes two ultra-poly 70D durometer load roller assemblies and two polyurethane steer wheel assemblies. All components include integrated bearing housings, sealed bearings, axles, and stainless steel fasteners for straightforward installation.
Q: What is the load wheel material and why does durometer rating matter?
A: Load wheels are Ultra-Polyurethane compound with 70D Shore hardness. The 70D durometer provides optimal balance between flexibility and rigidity, allowing smooth rolling while resisting wear. Lower durometers around 60D are too soft and wear quickly. Higher durometers above 92A become brittle in cold environments and roll with more drag.
Q: What environments and applications are these wheels suitable for?
A: The 70D ultra-poly load wheels perform well on display floors, warehouse concrete, and indoor retail spaces. The polyurethane steer wheels maintain maneuverability in various conditions. This kit is suitable for distribution centers, warehouses, and factory environments where durability and ease of movement are priorities.
Q: How do I perform installation and what should I check after?
A: Fully lower the jack and remove all load before starting. Disconnect old wheel assemblies using appropriate socket wrenches. Thread new axles through the mounting brackets and secure fasteners to jack manual specifications, typically 20 foot-pounds. Spin each wheel by hand to confirm smooth rotation with no wobbling, binding, or grinding sounds. Test the jack under light load before returning to service.
Q: What is the expected service life of this wheel kit?
A: With typical warehouse use and proper maintenance, expect 18 to 30 months of service life. In high-volume distribution centers with continuous operation, inspect wheels every six months for flat spots or uneven wear. Replace the kit when wheels show diameter reduction exceeding 3/16 inch or when bearing noise becomes audible during operation.
