Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing bore diameter for the GW 315?
A: The GW 315 has a 1-inch (25.40mm) bearing bore. This matches the GW 314. Do not confuse with smaller 20mm bore wheels like GW 312 or GW 313. Verify your steering axle diameter is 1 inch before installation to avoid wobble and bearing fit issues.
Q: What are the GW 315 wheel dimensions and how do they compare to the GW 314?
A: The GW 315 is 8.000 inches in diameter by 2.000 inches in width (8.0 x 2.0, or 203.20mm x 50.80mm), identical to the GW 314. Both are 8-inch steering wheels with 1-inch bore. The key difference is material composition: GW 314 has polyurethane tread bonded to nylon; GW 315 is poly/nylon construction.
Q: What does the lightweight design of the GW 315 mean for ease of maneuverability?
A: The lightweight poly/nylon construction reduces effort required to steer the pallet jack, particularly in confined spaces or during precision positioning. This is beneficial for operators in repetitive or high-cycle applications. Verify that lightweight construction does not compromise durability in your specific use case.
Q: Is the GW 315 a suitable replacement for the GW 314 steering wheel?
A: Yes, the GW 315 is a direct replacement for GW 314. Both have identical outer dimensions (8.0 x 2.0 inch) and 1-inch bearing bore. The GW 315 lightweight design may offer handling advantages. Verify that your existing bearing hardware and axle bracket are compatible before installing.
Q: What maintenance is required for the poly/nylon composition of the GW 315?
A: Inspect the wheel regularly for cracks, chips, or delamination of the materials. Clean debris from the bore and raceway area. Ensure bearings are properly lubricated per manufacturer specifications. Avoid high-pressure washing and harsh chemicals that can degrade the poly/nylon bond. Replace the wheel if structural damage is detected.
Q: What equipment types and vehicles is the GW 315 compatible with?
A: The GW 315 is compatible with manual pallet jacks, hand trucks, dollies, and other material handling equipment with 8-inch steering wheel requirements and 1-inch axle bore. Compatibility also depends on bracket design and load requirements. Contact your equipment manufacturer or supplier to verify fitment for your specific model.
