Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-A25-LW and GWK-A25-CK?
A: GWK-A25-LW is a specific load wheel kit with a fixed durometer, typically 70D polyurethane standard configuration. GWK-A25-CK is a comprehensive kit with multiple wheel material options available: 92A, 70D, nylon, and steel. If you need a specific durometer and want to order once, use GWK-A25-LW. If you need flexibility or are building a parts inventory, GWK-A25-CK offers more choices.
Q: Is this kit compatible with cold storage or freezer applications?
A: The GWK-A25-LW standard 70D polyurethane wheels are rated for warehouse temperatures down to approximately minus 5 Celsius. Below that, polyurethane becomes brittle and will crack. For cold storage below minus 10 Celsius, you must specify nylon wheels instead. Verify your facility temperature range and request nylon if operating in freezers.
Q: What floor surfaces are best for 70D polyurethane wheels?
A: 70D polyurethane is durable on rough concrete, damaged floors, and outdoor treated concrete. It resists gouging and compression set better than softer 92A wheels. Ideal for factory, shop, dock, and production environments where floors may be oily, wet, or uneven. For smooth polished warehouse floors, 92A is quieter, but 70D will outperform over time.
Q: What maintenance is required for these wheels?
A: Inspect wheels monthly for flat spots, cracks, embedded debris, or oil saturation. Wipe tread clean with a damp cloth. Check axle fasteners quarterly for looseness by hand-turning the wheel—it must rotate freely with no grinding noise. If fasteners are loose, tighten immediately to prevent axle shift and load misalignment. Check bearing seals for grease weeping.
Q: How long do these wheels typically last?
A: In typical manual pallet jack service with 6 to 8 hours daily use, expect 24 to 48 months of service life. 70D polyurethane lasts longer than 92A in rough service. Lifespan depends on floor type, load profile, and maintenance. High-traffic environments with frequent turning will shorten life. Track replacement intervals and plan inventory to avoid downtime.
Q: Can I upgrade from the standard wheels to a different material after purchase?
A: Yes. Wheels can be replaced independently using the same axle and fasteners. If you need to change from 70D polyurethane to 92A for a quieter warehouse environment, or to nylon for cold storage, order the replacement wheel assembly with your desired durometer. The axle, bearings, and fasteners remain unchanged. Replacement takes 20 minutes per jack.
