Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GW L14 a left or right wheel, and does it matter which position I install it in?
A: GW L14 is marked L/R, meaning it has specific left and right orientation. The BI (bi-directional) polyurethane tread is designed to work in either fork tip position, but you must install the wheel respecting its left or right marking on the hub. Reversing orientation can cause uneven wear and tracking issues.
Q: What bearing type does GW L14 use, and can I swap it with a 6204-2RS or 6204ZZ bearing?
A: GW L14 uses a 6204RS sealed ball bearing. Do not swap it with 6204-2RS or 6204ZZ models. RS (rubber seal on one side) is not the same as 2RS (sealed both sides) or ZZ (metal shields). Using the wrong bearing type can result in premature seal failure or bearing spin-out under load.
Q: GW L14 is 2.75 inches in diameter. What is the load capacity limit per wheel?
A: GW L14 specifications do not list individual wheel load ratings in the data provided. However, this 2.75-inch diameter wheel with cast steel core and 6204RS bearing is rated for heavy-duty industrial use. Always verify the total jack capacity and divide by the number of wheels on your jack for actual per-wheel load limits. Consult your pallet jack manual or contact the supplier for exact capacity.
Q: What tools and steps are required to replace GW L14 wheels on a manual pallet jack?
A: To replace: (1) Lower the jack fully and secure it. (2) Use a socket wrench to remove the axle nut and washer. (3) Slide off the old wheel and bearing. (4) Insert the new GW L14 wheel onto the axle, aligning the left or right marking. (5) Install the washer and tighten the axle nut securely but do not over-tighten, as this can bind the bearing. (6) Verify smooth rotation before returning to service.
Q: What is the polyurethane tread hardness of GW L14, and is it suitable for outdoor concrete?
A: GW L14 specifications do not explicitly state Shore A hardness. The polyurethane tread is designed for heavy-duty industrial floor applications and is suitable for smooth concrete indoors. Rough outdoor concrete or textured surfaces may accelerate wear. Always store the jack indoors when not in use to extend tread life.
