Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-W40ZXL-LW the same as GWK-W40Z-LW-XL?
A: Yes. GWK-W40ZXL-LW is equivalent to GWK-W40Z-LW-XL. Both part numbers reference the same kit with 95A polyurethane wheels, sealed bearings, and zinc-plated Grade 8 steel fasteners. GWK-W40ZXL-LW also cross-references to part number 310700-203-KIT if sourcing from alternate suppliers.
Q: What wheel diameter and width does this kit include?
A: GWK-W40ZXL-LW provides dual 3.25 inch diameter by 4.5 inch tread width polyurethane load wheel assemblies. These dimensions are OEM-spec for Hyster W40Z and W45Z pallet trucks and require no modification during installation.
Q: Are all fasteners corrosion-resistant?
A: Yes. All metallic hardware in GWK-W40ZXL-LW is zinc-plated Grade 8 steel. Zinc plating resists rust and corrosion in wet warehouse or outdoor environments. Even so, inspect fasteners quarterly and re-tighten if vibration has loosened any bolts during operation.
Q: How is the polyurethane tread specification verified?
A: Polyurethane tread in GWK-W40ZXL-LW meets ASTM D2240 durometer hardness specification at 95A Shore hardness. ASTM D2240 is the standard test method for polymer hardness. This ensures consistent wear resistance and load capacity across production batches.
Q: Can I order individual wheels or must I buy the complete kit?
A: GWK-W40ZXL-LW is sold as a complete dual-wheel assembly kit including axles, bearings, and fasteners. Individual wheel replacements are not available under this SKU. Always replace both wheels at the same time to maintain balanced load distribution and prevent truck drift during operation.
