Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does GWK-272744-CK include compared to load wheel kits?
A: GWK-272744-CK is a complete wheel kit containing two Ultra-Poly (70D) load wheel assemblies and two poly steer wheel assemblies, plus all bearings, axles, and fasteners. This is a full replacement package for Wesco model 272744, including the LW 3x3-3/8 variants, whereas load wheel kits replace only the main wheels.
Q: Is GWK-272744-CK compatible with all Wesco pallet jacks?
A: No, GWK-272744-CK is designed specifically for Wesco model 272744 and its LW 3x3-3/8 variants. Do not attempt to install on other Wesco models. Cross-compatibility may damage your jack or create unsafe operating conditions. Verify the model number on your jack nameplate before purchasing.
Q: What is the difference between load wheels and steer wheels in this kit?
A: Load wheels support the jack frame and carry the load. Steer wheels guide and control direction. Load wheels are larger and require more force to spin. Steer wheels are smaller and must rotate freely for smooth turning. GWK-272744-CK includes both types pre-assembled with appropriate materials and sizes.
Q: What does ASTM D412 compliance mean for the polyurethane wheels?
A: ASTM D412 is the standard test method for tensile properties of elastomers like polyurethane. Compliance guarantees that wheel material meets minimum strength, elongation, and durability standards. Wheels tested to ASTM D412 are durable, consistent, and suitable for industrial use. This certification ensures quality and performance reliability.
Q: What bearing and axle materials are used in GWK-272744-CK?
A: Bearings are chrome steel with Rockwell C58 to C62 hardness, providing resistance to wear and friction. Axles are SAE 1045 steel, hardened through heat treatment for strength and rigidity. These materials are industry-standard for pallet jack components and are designed to last the operational life of your equipment.
Q: Will replacing all four wheels affect the rolling efficiency of my jack?
A: Yes, installing GWK-272744-CK will improve rolling efficiency and handling. Worn wheels increase rolling resistance and operator effort. New wheels with fresh bearings roll more freely and smoothly. Steer wheels will turn more easily, and load wheels will require less force to move the same weight compared to an old jack.
