Product Description
This load wheel kit features durable wheels available in multiple durometers, including 92A for display floors and warehouses, and 70D for longer-lasting, non-marking surfaces. The nylon wheels are suitable for cold storage environments, while steel wheels provide resilience on factory floors exposed to debris. This kit enhances the efficiency of heavy load handling and minimizes physical strain on operators.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Wesco, model 272854. SKU: GWK-272854-LW

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What wheel material options are available in the GWK-272854-LW kit?
A: The GWK-272854-LW comes in multiple durometer options: 92A polyurethane for polished display and retail floors, 70D Ultra-Poly for longer service life and non-marking warehouse use, nylon for cold storage environments, and steel for factory floors with heavy debris and impact hazards. Select the material based on your specific floor type and application.
Q: Can I use the GWK-272854-LW wheels in cold storage or freezer environments?
A: Yes, the nylon wheel option in this kit is specifically engineered for cold storage environments where polyurethane becomes brittle and prone to cracking. If you operate in temperatures below 32°F, request the nylon variant. Polyurethane wheels will lose flexibility and durability in freezing conditions.
Q: When should I choose steel wheels instead of polyurethane for the GWK-272854-LW?
A: Use steel wheels on factory floors, construction sites, and environments with nails, metal debris, and sharp objects that puncture or chunk polyurethane. Steel wheels provide maximum resilience but transmit vibration and noise, making them unsuitable for sensitive environments. Steel wheels also mark floors more readily than polyurethane.
Q: Does the GWK-272854-LW fit all Wesco manual pallet jack models?
A: No, the GWK-272854-LW is designed for specific Wesco pallet jack models. The product documentation states that application to model 272854 has not been validated. Always cross-reference your equipment model number with the OEM part number (GWK-272854-LW) and contact technical support if you are uncertain about fit.
Q: What is the hardness rating for the polyurethane wheels in the GWK-272854-LW?
A: The polyurethane wheels in this kit are available in 70D durometer, which is a hard-wearing, durable option. 70D polyurethane resists wear, provides excellent floor protection, and operates smoothly on rough surfaces while remaining non-marking.
Q: How do I choose between 92A and 70D wheels for my application?
A: Choose 92A wheels for polished, clean floors in retail or showroom settings where low noise and smooth operation are priorities. Choose 70D wheels for warehouses, distribution centers, and rough handling environments where durability and floor protection matter more. 70D lasts longer and resists damage, but 92A rolls more freely and is quieter on smooth surfaces.
