Product Description
This load wheel kit features durable 70d durometer polyurethane wheels designed to enhance the performance of pallet jacks. The construction ensures a smoother roll, making lifting and transporting loads easier while being gentle on floors, as the wheels are non-marking. This product is ideal for both sensitive materials in display areas and heavy items in warehouses, providing longevity and efficiency in various applications.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Dayton, model 2PLH7. SKU: GWK-2PLH7-LW

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-2PLH7-LW compatible with Dayton model 2ZE57 or only 2PLH7?
A: The cross-reference shows GWK-2PLH7-LW fits both Dayton 2PLH7 and 2ZE57 models. These are equivalent platform codes for the same jack generation. Verify your model plate before ordering. If your plate shows a different model prefix (such as 2PLW or 3PLH), contact the parts department for the correct wheel kit, as other Dayton generations may use different axle configurations.
Q: What is the 70-durometer polyurethane rating and how does it affect floor safety?
A: 70 durometer indicates the wheels are medium-soft and rated non-marking on finished floors. This hardness rating resists abrasion while remaining gentle on polished concrete, tile, and sealed wood. It does not prevent marking on unsealed concrete or asphalt. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Higher ratings like 92A will roll faster but mark floors more readily. Lower ratings like 60D will be slower and less durable.
Q: Can I use GWK-2PLH7-LW wheels on a jacked-up platform or must both wheels be at same height?
A: Both wheels must be at the same height and roll at the same speed. If one wheel is higher or spinning slower due to wear or damage, the jack will pull sideways under load and create operator safety risk. Always replace both wheels as a matched pair. Operating on uneven terrain requires checking wheel wear monthly. If one wheel shows significantly more wear, misalignment is present and must be corrected before continued operation.
Q: What tools are required for GWK-2PLH7-LW installation and do fasteners come with the kit?
A: All axles, nuts, washers, and fasteners are included in the kit. You will need a 16mm socket wrench or adjustable wrench. No power tools should be used. Place the jack on level ground, unloaded. Remove the existing axle nut and slide out the old wheel. Insert the new wheel, hand-thread the nut, then tighten to 22-26 foot-pounds. Verify both wheels spin freely and the jack does not pull to one side when pushed.
Q: How long do the sealed bearings on these wheels last before requiring replacement?
A: Sealed bearings are pre-lubricated for the life of the wheel. Typical service life is 18-30 months under normal warehouse use (3-5 hours daily on smooth floors). Heavy use or outdoor operation reduces bearing life to 6-12 months. If you hear grinding, clicking, or feel resistance when spinning a wheel by hand, replace the entire kit. Bearings cannot be repacked or serviced individually; you must replace the complete wheel assembly.
Q: Is there a maximum or minimum daily use limit for the GWK-2PLH7-LW wheels?
A: These wheels are rated for continuous warehouse use with no fixed daily limit. However, inspect every 60 days if used more than 6 hours daily. Extended outdoor use or operation on gravel and rough terrain accelerates wear. Do not operate the jack with load ratings exceeding the Dayton 2PLH7 capacity (typically 5500 pounds). Overloading causes flat spots on wheels that cannot be repaired, requiring full replacement.
