Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this kit compatible with all Barrett pallet jack models, or only the RPX?
A: GWK-RPX-LW is engineered exclusively for Barrett RPX manual pallet jack models. It will not fit Barrett RPX60, RPX60B electric models, or other brand jacks without modification. Always verify your jack model nameplate matches RPX before ordering.
Q: What is the durometer hardness, and does this wheel material mark floors?
A: GWK-RPX-LW wheels are manufactured from 95A durometer polyurethane, which is rated non-marking. This means the wheels will not leave black or colored streaks on epoxy, sealed concrete, or tile floors. The material is ideal for food facilities, retail, or any environment where floor marks are not acceptable.
Q: What does shatterproof mean, and how does this benefit my jack?
A: Shatterproof means the wheel material does not crack, chip, or fragment when struck by debris or dropped on hard surfaces. Unlike rubber or rigid polyurethane, this compound flexes under impact without breaking. This reduces the risk of wheel failure from accidental drops or rough handling on warehouse floors.
Q: Are bearings, axles, and fasteners all included in this kit?
A: Yes, GWK-RPX-LW includes two complete poly load wheel assemblies with sealed bearings pre-installed, hardened steel axles, and all fasteners required for installation. This is a complete kit. No additional hardware ordering is needed.
Q: Why does this kit deliver exceptional reliability, and what is the expected service life?
A: The 95A polyurethane material resists compression set, meaning wheels maintain their shape and rolling resistance over time. Sealed bearings prevent contamination and extend bearing life. Under normal warehouse conditions, this kit typically delivers 4 to 6 years of service before wheel replacement is needed.
Q: What installation steps do I need to follow?
A: Remove the old wheel assemblies by unbolting them from the axle shafts. Slide the new assemblies onto the axles and align them with the mounting points. Insert and hand-tighten all fasteners first, then torque them to the specifications listed in your Barrett service manual (typically 35 to 50 foot-pounds). Verify wheels rotate freely before returning the jack to service.
