Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the GWK-L55-CK complete wheel kit?
A: GWK-L55-CK is a complete four-wheel replacement kit containing two ultra-poly load roller assemblies (70D durometer), two nylon steer wheel assemblies, plus all bearings, axles, and fasteners. This kit replaces both the load wheels and steering wheels in one order, simplifying full jack restoration.
Q: Why does GWK-L55-CK use different materials for load wheels versus steering wheels?
A: Load wheels must absorb vertical weight and withstand high compression; polyurethane (70D) provides shock absorption and durability under load. Steering wheels guide direction and need less grip; nylon is lighter, quieter, and reduces friction during turns. This combination optimizes performance for each wheels function.
Q: Is GWK-L55-CK compatible with any model other than the Lift-Rite L55?
A: GWK-L55-CK is engineered specifically for the Lift-Rite L55. No cross-reference or equivalent part numbers are identified. If your jack model is not confirmed as L55, contact the supplier with your serial number for verification before purchasing.
Q: How long does installation take for a complete wheel kit replacement?
A: Plan 45 minutes to one hour for full kit installation. You will need a socket wrench or pin extractor to remove the old axle shafts and secure the new ones. Remove the load wheels first, then the steering wheels, install new assemblies in reverse order, and verify all wheels spin freely before operating the jack.
Q: What is the service life for the wheels in GWK-L55-CK?
A: Poly load wheels typically last 2-4 years depending on floor type and use frequency. Nylon steering wheels last 3-5 years. Replace the entire kit when any wheel shows signs of failure (grinding noise, flat spots, wobble) rather than replacing individual wheels, as matched sets perform better.
Q: What preventive maintenance extends the life of GWK-L55-CK wheels?
A: Inspect wheels monthly for noise, wobble, or uneven wear. Clean all wheels weekly with a damp cloth to remove debris and prevent bearing contamination. Lubricate bearing seals annually with light machine oil. Check that all fasteners remain tight every three months. Do not use high-pressure washers on wheels.
