Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-P-33-LW-XL and GWK-P33-LW?
A: GWK-P-33-LW-XL features extra-large 3.00 inch diameter by 3.75 inch width wheels with 97A Shore durometer polyurethane. GWK-P33-LW uses slightly smaller 3.0 inch diameter by 3.5 inch width wheels with 95A durometer. The XL variant provides increased load capacity and wear resistance. Both fit Big Joe P33 pallet jacks but verify your serial range to confirm compatibility.
Q: Can I install GWK-P-33-LW-XL wheels on a Big Joe P33 that originally had different wheel sizes?
A: GWK-P-33-LW-XL wheels are direct replacements for Big Joe P33 electric pallet jacks and require no frame modifications. However, verify your jack serial number falls within the P33 range. If your jack has a different model designation or shows structural damage to the wheel mounting brackets, do not attempt installation. Consult Big Joe documentation for your specific serial range before ordering.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for GWK-P-33-LW-XL wheels and how do I verify it?
A: GWK-P-33-LW-XL wheels are rated for the Big Joe P33 platform capacity, typically 3,300 to 5,500 lbs depending on jack configuration. The 97A durometer polyurethane provides superior wear resistance compared to standard 95A wheels. Check your jack nameplate for load capacity. Do not exceed the platform rating regardless of wheel hardness. Wheel hardness does not increase jack capacity but improves tire life in rough environments.
Q: What tools and how much time does GWK-P-33-LW-XL installation require?
A: Installation typically requires a socket set, hex wrench, and bearing grease. Remove the jack from service and secure it on a work stand. Each wheel assembly takes 15 to 20 minutes to replace. Start by removing the cotter pin and axle nut, then slide the wheel off the axle shaft. Install the new wheel assembly, torque the axle nut securely, and reinstall the cotter pin. Verify all wheels turn freely before returning the jack to service.
Q: How do I diagnose if GWK-P-33-LW-XL wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels when you observe flat spots, deep gouges, or chunks missing from the tread. Listen for grinding sounds during operation, which indicates bearing failure or misalignment. If the jack pulls to one side, a wheel may be binding. Spinning each wheel by hand should produce smooth, effortless rotation. If a wheel wobbles side to side or does not spin freely, remove it and inspect the bearing and axle for damage. A worn wheel typically shows 0.25 inch or greater tread loss.
Q: Does GWK-P-33-LW-XL include sealed bearings and what maintenance is required?
A: GWK-P-33-LW-XL wheels include sealed ball bearings that require no routine lubrication. The sealed design prevents dirt and moisture from entering. However, inspect the bearing seals quarterly for damage or leakage. If a bearing sounds rough or spins slower than others, the seal may be compromised. Do not attempt to repack sealed bearings. Replace the entire wheel assembly if the bearing fails. Inspect axle shafts for corrosion and apply light oil if needed.
