Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the GWK-JETA-CK complete wheel kit include?
A: The GWK-JETA-CK is a complete kit for Jet Model A pallet jacks. It includes two pre-assembled 70D polyurethane load wheel assemblies with integrated sealed bearings, heat-treated steel axles, and zinc-plated fasteners. All components necessary for installation are included; no additional parts are required.
Q: Is the GWK-JETA-CK a universal fit for all Model A pallet jacks?
A: No, this kit is specific to Jet Model A frames only. Do not attempt to install on Model L or Model J frames; axle bore spacing and fastener patterns are incompatible. Verify your frame badge or nameplate before ordering. If unsure of your model, contact the manufacturer with your serial number.
Q: Are the wheels shatterproof, and what is their resistance to oil and solvents?
A: Yes, the 70D polyurethane formulation is shatterproof and impact-resistant compared to hard plastic wheels. The wheels are oil-resistant and will not degrade when exposed to hydraulic fluid, light machine oil, or common industrial solvents. However, prolonged soaking in acetone or aromatics (like benzene) may soften the surface.
Q: How long do these wheels typically last in factory floor service?
A: Under typical indoor factory use (daily operation, average load around 70 percent of capacity), expect 3 to 5 years before wheel wear or bearing degradation requires replacement. Heavier use or rough floors will shorten life to 2 to 3 years. No mid-life maintenance is needed; replace the kit when wheels flatten or bearings become noisy.
Q: What installation tools are needed, and can this be installed without removing the frame from service?
A: You will need a socket set (typically 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch), torque wrench, and jack stands. You must remove the pallet jack from service and support the carriage on stands. In-place installation on an active truck will not allow proper fastener torquing and risks personal injury. Plan 30 to 45 minutes per wheel assembly for complete installation and inspection.
Q: Do sealed bearings require periodic relubrication or bearing replacement?
A: No. Sealed ball bearings are lifetime-lubricated at the factory and are not user-serviceable. Attempting to disassemble or relubricate the bearing will damage the seal. When a bearing fails, replace the entire load wheel assembly. Typical failure indicators are roughness, noise, or wheel wobble after 3 to 5 years of service.
