Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-101TF-LW compatible with Raymond 101T or only 101TF models?
A: GWK-101TF-LW is designed exclusively for Raymond 101TF series electric pallet trucks. Do not use on manual 101T models. The wheel geometry and mounting points differ between manual and electric platforms. Using the wrong kit will cause misalignment and accelerated wear.
Q: What does non-marking mean and why is it important for my warehouse?
A: Non-marking 95A polyurethane will not leave black scuff marks on polished floors, carpeting, or display surfaces. The softer compound (95A vs 97A) absorbs impact and conforms to floor texture. This is critical for retail environments, hospitals, and food warehouses where floor appearance is monitored.
Q: How is the 95A wheel different from the 97A option on the 101TF-LW-XL?
A: GWK-101TF-LW uses 95A durometer, which is softer and quieter but wears faster in heavy-duty use. GWK-101TF-LW-XL uses 97A, which lasts 20-30 percent longer in warehouses and on rough surfaces. Choose 95A for display floors and carpeted areas; choose 97A for concrete warehouses with heavy movement.
Q: Does the electric motor speed change when I install new wheels?
A: No. Wheel replacement does not affect motor speed or battery consumption. New wheels restore rolling efficiency if the old wheels were worn flat or damaged, which can slightly improve cycle time and reduce motor strain. Worn wheels actually consume more power due to increased rolling resistance.
Q: What maintenance is required after installing GWK-101TF-LW?
A: After installation, run the truck unloaded for 15 minutes to seat the wheels. Inspect axle fasteners after the first 50 operating hours and re-torque if loose. Beyond that, clean wheels monthly and inspect for embedded debris. No lubrication is needed. Check wheel condition quarterly during normal operation.
Q: How long does a 95A polyurethane wheel last on a 101TF in daily use?
A: In retail or light warehouse use (8 hours per day, smooth floors), expect 24-30 months. In heavy warehouse use (16 hours per day, rough concrete), expect 12-18 months. Inspect for flat spots every 6 months. Replace immediately if you notice cracks, chunks missing, or severe flat-spotting that affects steering.
