Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GWK-CAT-LW compatible with Caterpillar GS equipment only or other pallet jack brands?
A: The GWK-CAT-LW is specifically designed for Caterpillar GS equipment. Always verify your pallet jack model before ordering. Using non-compatible wheels can result in poor maneuverability, accelerated bearing wear, and potential safety hazards. Do not substitute with wheels designed for other equipment lines.
Q: What is the difference between 92A and 70D durometer wheels in the GWK-CAT-LW kit?
A: 92A durometer wheels are softer and ideal for quiet operation on display floors and carpeting. They grip more easily but wear faster under heavy loads. 70D durometer wheels are harder, providing enhanced durability and extended service life in demanding warehouse and factory environments where load demands are constant.
Q: Can I use steel wheels from the GWK-CAT-LW on polished warehouse floors without damaging the surface?
A: Steel wheels will not mark polished floors but will generate significant noise during operation. Steel is best suited for factory floors with metal shavings, debris, and heavy industrial use where noise is not a concern. For noise-sensitive environments, choose 92A or 70D polyurethane options instead.
Q: How should I maintain GWK-CAT-LW wheels to maximize their lifespan?
A: Inspect wheels weekly for debris buildup, especially in industrial settings. Clean polyurethane wheels monthly with mild soap and water. Check wheel bearings for free rotation. Rotate wheels periodically if wear patterns are uneven. Replace wheels immediately if cracks or flat spots develop, as damaged wheels reduce maneuverability and increase bearing strain.
