Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-4YX97-CK and GWK-4YX97-LW, and when do I use each?
A: GWK-4YX97-CK is a complete kit that includes both load wheels (rear, 4 inches) and steer wheels (front, 2 inches). GWK-4YX97-LW contains only load wheels. Use CK when replacing all four wheels, or LW if only the rear wheels are worn or damaged.
Q: Will GWK-4YX97-CK fit the Dayton 4YX98 model?
A: Yes. GWK-4YX97-CK is compatible with both Dayton 4YX97 and 4YX98 models. The wheel and axle specifications are identical across these two models. Verify your model number on the jack nameplate before installation.
Q: Do the steer wheels in this kit have the same durometer rating as the load wheels?
A: No. Load wheels are 70D durometer Ultra-Poly, designed for heavy rolling loads. Steer wheels (swivel casters) use Poly material optimized for maneuverability and turning. Both materials are non-marking and durable for warehouse use.
Q: What tools or special knowledge do I need to install this complete wheel kit?
A: You need a socket wrench set and a caster or wheel puller. Raise the jack fully, support the frame securely with blocks, remove cotter pins and axle fasteners, slide off old wheels, install new wheels on axles, secure with new fasteners and cotter pins, then test under load before returning to service.
Q: Does this kit meet OSHA or ANSI load requirements for pallet jacks?
A: Yes. When properly installed on a Dayton 4YX97 or 4YX98 jack, this kit maintains the original load capacity (typically 5500 to 6600 pounds depending on model). Do not exceed the jack nameplate load rating. Inspect wheels before each shift of heavy use.
