Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the relationship between GWK-UL55-LW and GWK-L55-LW?
A: GWK-UL55-LW and GWK-L55-LW are the same part with different SKU designations. Both refer to the identical Lift-Rite L-55 load wheel kit. The manufacturer part number is GWK-L55-LW. Use either SKU when ordering as they are interchangeable.
Q: Which pallet jack models does this load wheel kit fit?
A: The GWK-UL55-LW (GWK-L55-LW) is designed for Lift-Rite L-55 manual pallet jacks and is also compatible with Ultra UL5500 models of the same generation. The wheels and axles are factory-matched for direct replacement fitment. Verify your jack model before purchasing.
Q: What wheel material, hardness, and finish does this kit feature?
A: The GWK-UL55-LW features Ultra-Polyurethane load wheels with 70D (Shore D) durometer hardness and a black finish. The 70D hardness provides optimal balance between load capacity and low rolling resistance. The black polyurethane resists UV damage and offers good floor protection.
Q: Are the bearings and axles pre-installed, or do they require assembly?
A: The GWK-UL55-LW comes with sealed ball bearings pre-installed in the wheels and ready-to-install steel axles. No bearing assembly or lubrication is required. Simply slide the wheels and axles onto the jack frame and secure with lock nuts.
Q: What is the maximum load rating, and what happens if I exceed it?
A: The GWK-UL55-LW wheels are rated for the standard Lift-Rite L-55 capacity of 5500 lbs. Exceeding this weight will overload the wheels, bearings, and axles, causing accelerated wear, bearing failure, and potential wheel collapse. Always verify load capacity before use.
Q: How do I identify bearing wear, and what maintenance is needed?
A: Listen for grinding, squealing, or clicking noises when the jack rolls. If the wheel wobbles or resists rotation, the bearings are failing. The sealed bearings do not require lubrication. If noise or play is detected, the entire wheel assembly should be replaced. Perform visual inspections every 6 months for cracks or flat-spotting.
