Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does GWK-APT55-II-LW fit APT55II and APT 55 II interchangeably?
A: Yes. GWK-APT55-II-LW is compatible with both APT 55 II (space separated) and APT55II (hyphen) models made by Allied Associated. These are the same frame design. Verify your plate or manual shows APT55-II prefix before ordering.
Q: Is this a load wheel kit only or does it include steer wheels?
A: Load wheels only. GWK-APT55-II-LW supplies two front load wheel assemblies with bearings, axles, and fasteners. Steer wheels are not included. If you need to replace rear steer wheels, order separately or order GWK-APT55-II-CK for a complete kit.
Q: The specs mention both 92A and 70D durometer. Which one am I getting?
A: GWK-APT55-II-LW includes 92A polyurethane load wheels. The 70D specification listed is an alternate option available from the manufacturer, but this SKU delivers 92A hardness. Confirm your order SKU before checkout. If you need 70D wheels, that is a different part number.
Q: Are 92A wheels suitable for carpeted retail environments or will they mark floors?
A: 92A polyurethane is non-marking on display floors, carpet, and linoleum. The black color does not transfer to floors. 92A wheels roll smoothly on carpeting and handle warehouse concrete equally well. They are softer than 70D, so they grip better on sloped ramps and provide a slightly quieter ride on hard surfaces.
Q: What signs indicate these load wheels need replacement?
A: Replace when: visible flat spots or cracks appear; wheel surface is sticky or degraded from heat or UV; jack pulls to one side despite centered steering; rotation is noisy or rough; wheel diameter shrinks noticeably. Inspect quarterly in high-use warehouses. 92A wheels typically last 18-24 months under 40+ hour weekly use.
Q: Do I need special tools to install GWK-APT55-II-LW load wheels?
A: Standard hand tools only: socket set, wrench, and a wheel bearing removal tool if bearings are pressed on. The kit includes axles and fasteners. No welding or frame modification needed. Installation takes 30-45 minutes per wheel. Torque fasteners to 25-30 Nm and test wheel rotation before returning jack to service.
