Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Crown models does the GWK-PE4500XL-LW fit?
A: The GWK-PE4500XL-LW is engineered for PE 4500 XL Series electric pallet trucks and is compatible with PE 4500 Series models. Verify your jack nameplate reads PE4500 before installation. This kit is direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications needed.
Q: What is the wheel size and tread material composition?
A: The kit features a 3.25 inch by 6.50 inch single polyamide wheel with 97A polyurethane tread bonded to the core. The polyamide base provides structural rigidity while the 97A tread offers superior load capacity and abrasion resistance for high-performance applications.
Q: What bearing type is specified, and why is it important?
A: The kit uses deep groove 6205 ball bearings, which are industrial standard for mobile equipment wheel assemblies. The deep groove design accommodates both radial and axial loads, reducing bearing stress and extending service intervals under continuous duty.
Q: Is this kit equivalent to part number GWK-PE4500-LW?
A: The GWK-PE4500XL-LW supersedes the GWK-PE4500-LW, meaning it is a newer design with improved specifications. Do not mix old and new kits on the same jack. If you have an older PE 4500 with standard wheels, upgrade to the GWK-PE4500XL-LW for better load performance.
Q: What cross reference part numbers are compatible with this kit?
A: The GWK-PE4500XL-LW is equivalent to CR 100462-401 (load wheel), compatible with CR 100611-035 (bearing), and CR 116802 (axle). These part numbers can be referenced if sourcing individual components, but OEM recommends using the complete kit to ensure proper assembly.
Q: How is the wheel core constructed, and what is the benefit?
A: The wheel features a cast steel core with bonded polyurethane tread. The steel core provides excellent load distribution and thermal stability, while the bonded polyurethane tread reduces rolling resistance and extends the service life under high-load continuous industrial use.
