Specifications: 4 inch diameter x 1.875 inch width (4.000" x 1.875" | 4 x 1.875 wheel | 4 x 1 7/8 | 101.60mm x 47.625mm)
• Made from high-quality polyurethane for enhanced wear resistance
• Shore A 95 hardness ensures optimal load-bearing capacity
• Direct fitment for electric pallet jack load positions
This load wheel is compatible with various generic electric pallet truck models, making it an ideal choice for those requiring robust and durable performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the exact diameter and width of the GW 541 load wheel?
A: The GW 541 is 4.000 inches in diameter and 1.875 inches in width (also specified as 4 x 1 7/8 or 101.60mm x 47.625mm). This dimension is critical for fitment verification before ordering, as the width does not match the common 4 x 2 assembly size.
Q: Can I use the GW 541 as a direct replacement for a worn 4 x 2 load wheel?
A: No. The GW 541 is 1.875 inches wide, not 2 inches wide. Installing it in a jack designed for 4 x 2 wheels will cause lateral binding and uneven load distribution. Always verify your jack specifications before purchase.
Q: What Shore A hardness does the GW 541 provide and why does it matter?
A: The GW 541 uses Shore A 95 polyurethane, which provides excellent durability and load-bearing capacity in high-performance electric pallet jack applications. Higher hardness resists wear better in demanding environments but offers less grip on smooth floors; Shore A 92 is softer and grips better.
Q: What is the bearing bore size for the GW 541?
A: The GW 541 specifications provided do not include the bearing bore diameter (ID). You must obtain this from your jack documentation or contact the OEM before ordering, as incorrect bearing size will prevent proper shaft installation.
Q: How often should a GW 541 wheel be replaced under normal use?
A: Polyurethane load wheels typically last 12-24 months under continuous warehouse use, depending on floor condition and load profile. Shore A 95 wheels last longer than softer compounds but show tread wear before failure. Replace when tread depth drops below 0.25 inches or when surface cracks develop.
