Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing bore size for the GW 314 steering wheel?
A: The GW 314 has a 1-inch (25.40mm) bearing bore. This is a larger bore than the 7-inch wheels (GW 312 and GW 313), which use 20mm. Do not interchange these wheels. Verify your steering axle diameter is 1 inch before purchasing the GW 314.
Q: What are the dimensions of the GW 314 wheel?
A: The GW 314 is 8.000 inches in diameter by 2.000 inches in width (8.0 x 2.0, or 203.20mm x 50.80mm). The larger 8-inch diameter provides improved steering control and clearance on larger manual pallet jacks. Verify that your steering bracket can accommodate the 8-inch size.
Q: Why is the GW 314 constructed with polyurethane bonded to nylon?
A: The molded polyurethane tread chemically bonded to a precision-machined nylon core combines durability and performance. Polyurethane provides superior floor grip and wear resistance; nylon provides structural strength and bearing support. This composite design extends wheel life in demanding applications.
Q: Can the GW 314 be used as an interchangeable replacement for the GW 312 or GW 313?
A: No, the GW 314 cannot directly replace GW 312 or GW 313 due to size and bearing differences. The GW 314 is 8 inches diameter with 1-inch bore; GW 312/313 are 7 inches with 20mm bore. Using the wrong size causes steering failure and safety hazards. Verify the correct wheel model for your equipment.
Q: How do I maintain the bonded polyurethane tread on the GW 314?
A: Inspect the tread-to-core bond for delamination or separation, especially after impacts or floor damage. Clean the wheel regularly to remove debris that can abrade the polyurethane. Avoid high-pressure washers and harsh chemicals. If delamination is visible, the wheel should be replaced. Proper bearing lubrication also extends tread life.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for the GW 314 steering wheel?
A: The GW 314 does not carry load; it provides steering control only. Load capacity depends on your pallet jack frame, forks, and load wheels. Check your equipment nameplate or manual for rated capacity. The GW 314 steering wheel supports steering function within that rated load limit.
