Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the GW 9433-A2 differ from the standard GW 9433 caster wheel?
A: The GW 9433-A2 has a larger diameter of 3.250 inches compared to the 3.000 inch standard GW 9433. Both share the same 3.500 inch width and 95A polyurethane tread. The GW 9433-A2 also uses a larger 20mm bearing ID versus the 0.750 inch bearing on GW 9433. This makes GW 9433-A2 incompatible with trucks designed for standard GW 9433 wheels.
Q: When should I use the larger GW 9433-A2 wheel over the standard GW 9433?
A: Use GW 9433-A2 on trucks that require the larger 3.250 inch diameter for ground clearance, extended range, or load distribution. The larger diameter reduces rolling resistance and improves handling on uneven floors. Verify your truck manufacturer recommends or approves the larger wheel diameter before installation. Incorrect wheel size can affect truck stability and steering response.
Q: Will the larger 3.250 inch diameter GW 9433-A2 affect truck height and clearance?
A: Yes. The GW 9433-A2 is 0.250 inches larger in diameter than the standard GW 9433. This raises the truck body by approximately 0.250 inches. Verify your truck will not hit overhead obstacles, doorways, or ceiling height restrictions after the wheel swap. Check your facility clearances before upgrading to larger casters.
Q: The GW 9433-A2 uses a 20mm bearing ID. Is this compatible with my existing truck axle?
A: Only if your truck axle is 20mm diameter. The GW 9433-A2 bearing bore is not compatible with trucks designed for 0.750 inch (19.05mm) bearings or 17mm bearings. Measure your truck axle bore or verify the OEM specification before ordering. Installing an incompatible bearing size will cause improper fitment and bearing failure.
Q: How do I install the GW 9433-A2 wheel on my electric lift truck?
A: Lift the truck on designated lift points and block the wheels. Remove the axle fastener and slide out the old wheel. Verify the new GW 9433-A2 bearing bore ID of 20mm matches your truck axle. Slide the wheel onto the axle and secure with the original fastener, tightened hand-snug plus one-quarter turn. Rotate the wheel by hand to confirm smooth operation before lowering the truck.
Q: Can I mix GW 9433 and GW 9433-A2 wheels on the same truck?
A: No. Mixing different wheel diameters will cause the truck to tilt and pull to one side. Always replace all four casters as a matched set. Uneven wheel sizes compromise steering control and increase bearing wear on the mismatched wheels. Plan to replace all casters with the same model.
