Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing ID for the GW 9168-A-ASSY wheel assembly?
A: The GW 9168-A-ASSY has a bearing ID of 30mm (1.181 inch bore). This 30mm specification is critical for axle fitment, so verify your existing axle diameter before ordering. Using an undersized axle will cause binding and premature bearing wear.
Q: Is the GW 9168-A-ASSY compatible with my electric pallet jack?
A: The GW 9168-A-ASSY is designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks with a 30mm axle bore and wheel opening of 3.250 inch diameter by 4.500 inch width. Verify your jack model specifications before ordering. If your existing wheel shows a 17mm or 20mm bearing ID, this part will not fit.
Q: What makes the GW 9168-A-ASSY non-marking?
A: The wheel uses high-performance polyurethane with a 95 Shore A tread hardness formulated to not leave marks on sensitive floors like polished concrete, sealed epoxy, or tile. Do not use on outdoor or heavily contaminated surfaces as dirt embedded in the tread can mark floors.
Q: How long does the GW 9168-A-ASSY wheel last in normal service?
A: Polyurethane wheels typically last 12 to 36 months depending on load, floor type, and usage hours. The 95 Shore A durometer provides exceptional abrasion resistance. Replace the wheel when tread depth is less than 1/8 inch or visible cracks form in the tread.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for the GW 9168-A-ASSY?
A: Load capacity depends on your truck model and total wheel count. The GW 9168-A-ASSY is a single load wheel assembly. Refer to your lift truck documentation for total load rating. Do not exceed the truck manufacturers rated capacity or the wheel will fail prematurely.
