Product Description
This load wheel kit serves as an ideal replacement for pallet jacks, equipped with two robust load wheels designed to enhance functionality. Constructed from high-quality materials, the kit offers options including non-marking 92A durometer wheels suitable for display floors, and durable 70D durometer wheels that resist shattering. Additionally, nylon wheels are recommended for cold storage applications, and steel wheels are optimal for environments with metal debris.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the N designation in the GWK-3KR84-LW-N indicate?
A: The N designation indicates this kit includes nylon steer wheels specifically engineered for cold storage applications. While the load wheels are polyurethane (92A or 70D durometer options), the steer wheels are nylon construction. Nylon wheels maintain flexibility and reduce brittleness in sub-zero freezer environments where standard polyurethane becomes rigid. The N variant is the correct choice for cold storage use, while the standard GWK-3KR84-LW is suitable for ambient warehouse conditions.
Q: Is the GWK-3KR84-LW-N a direct replacement for the wheels on my Dayton 3KR84 jack?
A: Yes, the GWK-3KR84-LW-N is designed as a complete wheel kit replacement for Dayton 3KR84 manual pallet jacks. It includes both load wheel and steer wheel assemblies and provides direct replacement without frame modification. The related part number GWK-3KR84-LW provides the same model 3KR84 compatibility but with polyurethane wheels instead. Verify which wheel configuration your current jack has before ordering to ensure you receive the correct kit variant.
Q: Why choose nylon wheels for cold storage instead of polyurethane 70D durometer wheels?
A: Nylon wheels maintain superior flexibility and low-temperature performance in freezer environments at minus 10 to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Polyurethane, even at 70D durometer, becomes brittle and prone to cracking in extreme cold. Nylon wheels reduce brittleness, improve maneuverability, and last longer in sub-zero operations. Nylon is naturally quieter and produces less skidding. For warm-season or ambient warehouse use, polyurethane 70D is the superior choice.
Q: What is the load capacity rating for the GWK-3KR84-LW-N wheels?
A: The GWK-3KR84-LW-N load wheels support the full rated capacity of the Dayton 3KR84 pallet jack, typically 5,500 to 6,000 pounds depending on jack model year. Nylon steer wheels are rated for the same operational loads but are not load-bearing wheels themselves. Always consult the jack's rating plate for exact load capacity limits, and do not exceed the manufacturer's specified capacity.
Q: How should I store wheels that are not in use?
A: Store wheel assemblies in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep wheels off the ground on a shelf or rack to prevent flat-spotting. For long-term storage (more than 6 months), inspect wheels periodically for deterioration, cracking, or hardening. Store nylon wheel assemblies in climate-controlled areas; extreme heat or cold during storage can affect wheel material properties.
