Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing bore size for the GW 2365-XL-A wheel, and will it fit my jack?
A: The GW 2365-XL-A has a 25mm bearing ID (0.984 inch bore). Verify your axle or wheel stem diameter matches 25mm before ordering. This wheel is NOT interchangeable with the wider GW 2400 series (which is 6 inches wide versus 4.5 inches); do not force-fit a 4.5 inch wheel into a 6 inch mounting space.
Q: What durometer is the GW 2365-XL-A and how does Shore A 97 compare to softer wheels?
A: The GW 2365-XL-A is Shore A 97 polyurethane, which is hard and abrasion-resistant. This higher durometer resists cuts and lasts longer on smooth concrete but provides less grip on wet or slippery surfaces than lower durometers (like 95A or 90A). Use 97A on dry warehouse floors; if your floor is wet or oily, consider a 95A wheel instead.
Q: Can I replace the bearings in the GW 2365-XL-A or is this a sealed assembly?
A: The GW 2365-XL-A uses precision-sealed ball bearings. Do not attempt to disassemble or repack them. If the wheel spins rough, squeaks, or feels notchy, the entire wheel assembly must be replaced. Sealed bearings cannot be serviced in the field.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for the GW 2365-XL-A wheel?
A: Load capacity depends on your jack model and the number of wheels on your lift. Do not exceed the manufacturer load plate on your jack. The GW 2365-XL-A is commonly used on standard duty electric jacks rated 2000 to 5000 lbs total capacity. Never overload a jack or mix different wheel sizes on the same jack.
Q: How often should the GW 2365-XL-A wheels be inspected for wear?
A: Inspect wheels monthly or every 500 operating hours. Look for flat spots, cracks, or chunks missing from the polyurethane tread. If the tread is worn smooth or the wheel diameter has visibly reduced, replace it. A worn wheel causes uneven load distribution and can damage your jack and floor.
Q: Will the GW 2365-XL-A fit on my Yale or Hyster lift truck?
A: The GW 2365-XL-A fits Yale, Hyster, Crown, Toyota, and other electric jacks that use 25mm bearing axles and 4.5 inch width. Cross-check the wheel mounting width (4.500 inch) and bearing bore (25mm ID) against your jack spec sheet before purchasing. Do not assume model numbers; verify dimensions.
