Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will GWK-ECON-LW fit both Mobile ECO I-55 and Mobile I55 models?
A: Yes. GWK-ECON-LW is compatible with both Mobile Model I55 and Mobile Model ECO I-55 pallet jacks. The mounting points and axle diameter are identical across both model generations. Before installing, verify your current wheel assembly axle diameter matches the replacement kit specifications to ensure a perfect fit.
Q: What is the wheel hardness rating and how does it affect operation?
A: GWK-ECON-LW wheels are rated at 95A Shore durometer polyurethane, which is medium-soft. This rating provides quiet, smooth rolling action and reduces strain on the jack frame and bearings. It absorbs shock from uneven floors better than harder wheels. 95A wheels are ideal for warehouse floors and indoor use. They will mark light-colored floors more than 70D wheels, but provide superior control and lower operational noise.
Q: Can I use GWK-ECON-LW in outdoor or wet environments?
A: GWK-ECON-LW is not recommended for outdoor or wet use. The 95A polyurethane wheels absorb moisture and can become slippery when wet. The hardened steel axle will corrode if exposed to rain or high humidity without protective coating. For outdoor or wet-area applications, use GWK-ECON-CK with 70D wheels instead, which resists moisture and corrosion better.
Q: What is included in the kit and what do I need to bring?
A: GWK-ECON-LW includes two nylon load wheel assemblies, hardened steel axles with retention fasteners, and all bolts needed for installation. You must provide your own socket wrenches, a wheel puller, and a mallet. The kit does not include bearing lubricant. Apply lithium or synthetic bearing grease to the axle journals before pressing wheels on. Installation typically requires 30 to 45 minutes.
Q: How often should I lubricate the wheel bearings?
A: Apply bearing grease every 500 to 800 operating hours or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Squeeze a small amount of grease around the bearing seal until it begins to weep slightly. Do not over-lubricate, as excess grease will attract dust and dirt. If wheels begin to squeak or drag, increase lubrication frequency. If bearings continue to bind after greasing, the bearing races may be damaged and require wheel replacement.
