Product Description
This load wheel kit includes two durable wheels designed to enhance pallet jack performance. It features wheels with a 92A durometer for display floors, 70D durometer for extended use, nylon for rust resistance in cold storage, and steel for factory applications. This versatility ensures reliable operation across various environments.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Lift-Rite, model L60. SKU: GWK-L60-LW
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What durometer options does the GWK-L60-LW wheel kit provide and which floor type should I select?
A: The GWK-L60-LW includes two wheel material options: 92A durometer for polished display floors and showroom environments where low rolling resistance is needed, and 70D durometer for warehouse extended-use applications. For food storage or cold environments, nylon wheels resist corrosion and ice buildup. Steel wheels suit factory floors with heavy debris. Match your flooring and environment before ordering to avoid cross-shipment delays.
Q: Is the GWK-L60-LW a direct bolt-on replacement for my Lift-Rite L60 jack?
A: Yes, the GWK-L60-LW is engineered as a plug-and-play retrofit for all Lift-Rite L60 model pallet jacks. No modifications to the fork or axle assembly are required. You will need basic hand tools: a wrench or socket set to remove the axle fasteners and lift the jack on a stable work surface. Installation time is approximately 15-20 minutes per wheel pair.
Q: How do I diagnose worn load wheels and know when to replace the GWK-L60-LW kit?
A: Inspect wheels for flat spots, cracking, or separation from the axle. If your jack pulls to one side during operation, feels sluggish on smooth floors, or makes grinding noises, wheels are likely worn. Manually spin each wheel by hand; they should rotate freely without resistance. If rotation is rough or wheels wobble on the axle, replace the kit immediately to prevent load shift or tip hazards.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of GWK-L60-LW wheels in a warehouse environment?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions with consistent daily use, expect 18-36 months of service life from the 70D durometer wheels. Polished display floors (92A durometer) may extend life to 24-48 months due to reduced debris contact. Cold storage and steel factory floors accelerate wear to 12-18 months due to chemical exposure and debris. Inspect every six months for visible damage.
Q: Can I mix wheel durometer types on a single jack, or must both load wheels be the same?
A: Both load wheels must be the same durometer and material type. Mixing materials causes uneven load distribution, pulling to one side, and increases tip risk, especially on grades. Always replace the complete GWK-L60-LW kit as a pair to maintain load stability and handling balance.
