Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the default wheel material for the GWK-ALT66-LW load wheel kit?
A: The GWK-ALT66-LW ships with Ultra-Poly 70D durometer load wheels as the standard. This material offers superior rolling performance, durability, and shatter resistance. Contact your supplier to order alternative materials such as 92A polyurethane, nylon, or steel if needed for specific applications.
Q: Is the GWK-ALT66-LW compatible with Lift-Rite and Altra ALT66 models?
A: Yes, the kit specifications indicate compatibility with Big Joe, Lift-Rite, and Altra ALT66 manual pallet jack models. Verify that your jack has the same load capacity rating and wheel bore diameter. If your jack serial number is outside the standard range, confirm fitment with the manufacturer before installation.
Q: How do I know if my load wheels need replacement?
A: Replace load wheels when you observe flatspotting, cracking, chunks missing, discoloration from heat, or reduced floor traction. The jack may also feel like it is pulling to one side, indicating uneven wheel wear. If you cannot hear the characteristic rolling sound or feel increased drag, replacement is likely needed.
Q: What tools and skills are required to install the GWK-ALT66-LW?
A: You will need a socket set, jack stand or lift, and possibly a bearing puller if bearings are seized. Intermediate mechanical skill is required to disassemble the old wheel, remove old bearings, press new bearings onto the axle, and reassemble. If you lack experience, consult a technician or your equipment manual for detailed steps.
Q: Does the 70D durometer wheel affect handling or require an adjustment period?
A: No adjustment period is needed. The 70D wheels are direct replacements. You may notice slightly improved load handling and reduced rolling effort compared to worn original wheels. There is no change to steering feel, lift height, or jack operation.
