Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the GWK-PMW20-LW and GWK-PMW20-LW-XL?
A: The GWK-PMW20-LW-XL uses a larger wheel diameter of 3.34 inches and width of 4.33 inches compared to the standard GWK-PMW20-LW. The XL also specifies 97A durometer (harder polyurethane) versus 95A on the standard. Do not mix these kits. Verify which wheel size your PMW20 requires before ordering, as installation of the wrong size causes fit and load capacity issues.
Q: Which PMW20 trucks require the XL variant instead of the standard GWK-PMW20-LW?
A: The GWK-PMW20-LW-XL is specified for BYD PMW20 and Crown PMW20 models that require the 3.34 x 4.33 inch wheel dimensions. Not all PMW20 serial ranges use the XL size. Check your truck documentation or contact the OEM with your truck serial number to confirm which load wheel kit applies to your specific machine.
Q: Why does the GWK-PMW20-LW-XL use 97A hardness instead of 95A?
A: The harder 97A polyurethane in the XL kit provides extended wear life on rough warehouse floors and during heavy-duty continuous operation. Higher durometer means less material loss per cycle but slightly firmer ride. The choice between 95A and 97A depends on your floor condition and load patterns. XL trucks in high-cycle environments benefit from the 97A hardness.
Q: Does the GWK-PMW20-LW-XL kit include sealed bearings and fasteners?
A: Yes. The GWK-PMW20-LW-XL is a complete kit that includes double-sealed ball bearings, axle, and fasteners. Sealed bearings prevent water and dust contamination on floor-level equipment. This is a drop-in replacement provided you are replacing wheels on a PMW20 truck that originally came with XL wheels.
Q: How do I verify my PMW20 needs the XL wheels versus the standard size?
A: Measure the existing load wheel on your truck. If your wheel is approximately 3.34 inches diameter and 4.33 inches width, order the GWK-PMW20-LW-XL. If your wheel is approximately 3.0 inches diameter, order the standard GWK-PMW20-LW. Cross-reference your truck serial number with the OEM documentation if measurement is uncertain. Installing the wrong size causes frame-to-wheel interference.
Q: What is the replacement schedule for the GWK-PMW20-LW-XL under heavy-duty use?
A: In continuous warehouse operations, the 97A polyurethane on the XL kit typically provides 3 to 5 years of service, longer than softer compounds. Inspect monthly for cracks, flat spots, and bearing noise. Heavy-duty facilities moving pallets 8 to 10 hours daily may need replacement every 18 to 24 months. Monitor wheel diameter; replace when worn more than 1/2 inch below original size.
