Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-EPT30-LW compatible with other pallet jack brands or only the specified brand?
A: GWK-EPT30-LW is designed for the specified brand model EPT30 pallet jacks. Cross-compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed. Verify your truck model and axle bore diameter before purchase. Mismatched wheel kits may not fit or could cause operational issues.
Q: What does non-marking 95A polyurethane mean for retail and display floor use?
A: Non-marking means the wheel tread does not leave discoloration or residue on clean floors. The 95A durometer provides a balanced compound that cleans floors while offering moderate wear resistance. This makes the kit ideal for retail showrooms, display floors, and customer-facing warehouse areas.
Q: What tools and steps are required for wheel replacement?
A: You will need a socket wrench set (typically 13mm to 16mm depending on truck configuration) and basic hand tools. Lift the truck with a floor jack, remove the fastening bolts securing the old axle assembly, slide out the axle, install the new wheel assembly on the axle, insert the axle into the truck frame, and secure with provided fasteners. Installation takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Q: How can I tell if the wheels need replacement before they fail?
A: Replace wheels when you observe uneven wear patterns, visible flat spots, or cracks in the polyurethane surface. If the truck pulls to one side or makes noise during operation, inspect both wheels for damage. Worn wheels reduce steering control and increase accident risk. Replace both wheels as a set to maintain balanced handling.
Q: What is the core material and can these wheels be repaired if damaged?
A: The core is machined carbon steel with polyurethane cast over it. Once the polyurethane damages or separates from the core, the wheel cannot be economically repaired. Replacement is the only solution. Do not attempt to patch or re-glue separated polyurethane.
Q: What maximum load capacity should I observe with this wheel kit?
A: GWK-EPT30-LW is rated for the EPT30 model specifications, typically 3000 pounds maximum load capacity. Do not exceed the truck nameplate rating. Overloading accelerates wear, damages bearings, and creates safety hazards. Always verify load limits before operation.
