Load Wheel Assembly, Poly
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the GPS-1105G load wheel assembly and what does it fit?
A: The GPS-1105G is a polyurethane load wheel assembly for manual pallet jacks. It replaces the bottom lift wheels that carry the load during raise and lower cycles. It is compatible with standard manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar manufacturers.
Q: What are the load rating and material specifications of the GPS-1105G?
A: The GPS-1105G features a polyurethane tire compound and steel hub. Load rating is typically 4000 to 6000 pounds per wheel depending on the assembly configuration. The polyurethane material provides good floor protection, quiet operation, and moderate wear resistance for standard warehouse use.
Q: What are the dimensions of the GPS-1105G wheel assembly?
A: The GPS-1105G wheel diameter is 4 inches with a 2.25-inch hub width. The bolt pattern and bearing size match most manual pallet jack frames with 1-inch bore wheel spindles. Measure your existing wheel assembly to confirm fitment before ordering, as some manufacturers use non-standard dimensions.
Q: How long does the polyurethane tire on the GPS-1105G last before replacement?
A: Under normal indoor warehouse operation with regular use, the GPS-1105G tire typically lasts 2 to 3 years before visible wear requires replacement. Heavy use, outdoor storage, or floor with sharp debris will reduce tire life. Inspect for uneven wear, flat spots, or loss of grip quarterly.
Q: Does the GPS-1105G wheel fit wet floor or cold storage environments?
A: Standard polyurethane tires on the GPS-1105G provide adequate traction in moderately wet conditions. However, for heavy-use freezer or high-moisture environments, consider our high-traction polyurethane load wheel variants marked with an -EZ designation, which are engineered specifically for wet floors and cold storage operations.
Q: What maintenance is required to extend the GPS-1105G wheel assembly life?
A: Keep wheels clean of debris and fluid spills. Inspect bearing condition and bearing grease periodically; replace grease if wheels become noisy or spin with resistance. Verify spindle bolt tightness during routine equipment checks. Worn wheel assemblies should be retired to prevent tire damage that can affect jack stability.
