Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does GWK-LHM-CK include both load wheels and steer wheels?
A: Yes. GWK-LHM-CK is a complete wheel kit for BT LHM 230 jacks. It includes ultra-poly 70D load roller assemblies, poly steer wheel assemblies with sealed bearings, hardened zinc-plated axles, and all fasteners. This is a full replacement of all load and steer wheels in one package.
Q: What is the difference between GWK-LHM-CK and GWK-LHM-LW?
A: GWK-LHM-CK is a complete kit with both load wheels and steer wheels. GWK-LHM-LW contains only load wheels. GWK-LHM-LW-N is also a load wheel kit with locking hardware. Choose GWK-LHM-CK if you need to replace all wheels at once. Choose GWK-LHM-LW or GWK-LHM-LW-N if only load wheels need replacement.
Q: What does Rockwell C45 hardness on the axles mean?
A: Rockwell C45 is a hardness specification for the heat-treated steel axles. This hardness provides good wear resistance and fatigue strength under repeated load cycling. Axles at this hardness can withstand the stress of manual pallet jack operation and resist bending or shearing. This meets or exceeds OEM specifications for BT LHM 230 jacks.
Q: Are the axles in GWK-LHM-CK zinc-plated?
A: Yes. The axles are hardened zinc-plated, which provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. This is important for warehouses near shipping doors, outdoor use, or facilities with floor washdown. Zinc plating extends axle life and prevents rust staining on floors.
Q: Can I install GWK-LHM-CK without lifting the jack?
A: No. You must lift the jack securely on blocks or a jack stand so all wheels clear the floor. Do not work under a suspended jack without proper supports. Remove fasteners, slide out old wheels and axles, insert new assemblies, and torque fasteners to OEM specifications. Ensure all bearings are properly seated before lowering the jack.
Q: How do I verify GWK-LHM-CK is compatible with my BT jack?
A: Check your jack nameplate or data tag for the model number. GWK-LHM-CK fits BT LHM 230 and the alternate designation LHM230. Measure your old wheel diameter if unsure. If your jack is a different BT model (such as L-2000 or L-2300 series), cross-reference the part number to confirm fit. Contact the manufacturer if the model is unclear.
