Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does split wheel mean, and how is it different from a solid wheel?
A: A split wheel has a seam down its center and is assembled on the axle during installation. A solid wheel is molded as one piece. Split wheels allow easier installation without full axle removal and are common in field service kits. The GWK-WP2300-LW-SPLIT includes two split wheel halves that clamp together on a central axle.
Q: Is GWK-WP2300-LW-SPLIT compatible with the standard GWK-WP2300-LW truck?
A: Both kits fit Crown WP 2300 trucks, but the GWK-WP2300-LW-SPLIT uses split wheel construction while the standard GWK-WP2300-LW uses solid wheels. Performance is equivalent; choose the SPLIT version for faster installation or when you cannot easily remove axles. Do not mix split and solid wheels on the same truck.
Q: What is the wheel material and hub core composition?
A: The GWK-WP2300-LW-SPLIT features 95A polyurethane load wheels with machined steel hub cores. The machined steel hub provides precise axle fit and prevents slippage. The 95A polyurethane delivers smooth, abrasion-resistant performance in warehouse environments.
Q: What bearing type is used in the GWK-WP2300-LW-SPLIT?
A: The kit includes high durability sealed ball bearings that provide smooth rotation and require no maintenance. These bearings are rated for the full load capacity of Crown WP 2300 trucks and should operate for the life of the wheel assembly under normal conditions.
Q: How do I install the split wheels on the GWK-WP2300-LW-SPLIT kit?
A: Installation: (1) Support the truck safely. (2) Position the axle. (3) Slide the first wheel half onto the axle. (4) Align the second wheel half with the first, matching the hub seam line precisely. (5) Insert alignment bolts through the split line and tighten evenly in a cross pattern. (6) Install bearing seals and snap rings. (7) Test rotation for smooth operation.
Q: What warning signs indicate that split wheel bearings or the wheel assembly is failing?
A: Warning signs: (1) grinding, squealing, or unusual noise during rotation, (2) the wheel halves separating or showing gaps at the seam, (3) excessive play or wobble when you push on the wheel rim, (4) oil leaking from bearing seals, or (5) the truck pulling strongly to one side. Stop using the truck immediately if these occur; continued operation risks tipping or wheel lockup.
