Nylon Steer Wheel Assy (Incl Bearings)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the wheel size and bearing ID for the GW 329 assembly?
A: The GW 329 is a nylon steer wheel assembly that includes bearings as part of the complete unit. Exact diameter, width, and bearing ID specifications are required from the equipment manufacturer or parts catalog to confirm fitment. Contact the original equipment manufacturer or reference your manual pallet jack documentation for the complete dimensional specification before ordering GW 329 replacements.
Q: What does the inclusion of bearings in the GW 329 assembly mean for installation?
A: The GW 329 is supplied as a complete wheel assembly with bearings pre-mounted and sealed. This means no field bearing installation, adjustment, or lubrication is required. Simply remove the old wheel and axle from your pallet jack and slide the new GW 329 assembly onto the axle shaft. Bearings come factory-assembled and sealed, which eliminates assembly-line labor and reduces installation errors.
Q: Is the GW 329 a direct replacement for any other wheel part numbers?
A: Without complete specification documentation for GW 329, cross-reference information is not available. The part number GW 329 may have equivalent numbers in different product lines or manufacturers. Check your equipment documentation for original part number and any listed substitutes. Contact the wheel supplier or jack manufacturer directly to confirm if GW 329 is the correct replacement for your specific manual pallet truck model.
Q: What nylon grade is used in the GW 329 wheel construction?
A: The GW 329 uses nylon construction, but specific material grade (standard industrial nylon, PA6 high-impact, or thermoplastic) is not specified in available documentation. Nylon material provides good durability for warehouse environments and resists deformation under sustained load. For precise material specification, material safety data, and temperature performance limits, contact the manufacturer directly using part number GW 329.
Q: What maintenance is required for the sealed bearings in the GW 329?
A: The GW 329 includes sealed bearings that require no field maintenance or lubrication. Do not attempt to disassemble, clean, or re-lubricate the bearings. Visually inspect the bearing seals quarterly for visible damage, corrosion, or leakage. If seals are compromised or bearing noise develops (grinding, squeaking, or roughness when hand-rotating the wheel), replace the entire GW 329 assembly. Damaged bearings cannot be reliably repaired in the field.
Q: How do you diagnose wheel failure on a pallet jack equipped with GW 329 assemblies?
A: Test for these failure indicators: grinding or squealing noise when steering the jack, visible cracks or splits in the nylon wheel, flat spots or irregular wear pattern on the wheel surface, or loose, wobbly wheel movement at the axle. Hand-spin the wheel and listen for bearing noise. If any symptoms are present, remove the jack from service immediately and install a replacement GW 329 assembly. Failing wheels can cause loss of steering control and safety hazards.
