Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GWK-LRP-LW compatible with both LRP 5000 and LRP5000 model designations?
A: Yes. The GWK-LRP-LW is designed for Lift-Rite LRP 5000 pallet jacks. The alternate model designation LRP5000 refers to the same equipment. Both names appear on jack nameplates depending on manufacturing date. Confirm your jack frame geometry matches before installation.
Q: What polyurethane specification does the GWK-LRP-LW load wheel use?
A: The GWK-LRP-LW features Ultra-Poly 70D polyurethane load wheels. The 70D hardness rating per ASTM D2240 provides balanced wear resistance and floor protection. Ultra-Poly formulations resist oils and chemicals better than standard polyurethane. This rating is suitable for general warehouse, light industrial, and food-handling environments.
Q: What axle material and specification does the GWK-LRP-LW include?
A: The GWK-LRP-LW includes SAE 1045 hardened steel axles. SAE 1045 is medium-carbon steel that is heat-treated for strength and wear resistance. This material resists bending under load and provides a long service life. Do not reuse old axles when installing this kit; always use the new hardened axles provided.
Q: Is the GWK-LRP-LW kit factory assembled and ready to install?
A: Yes. The GWK-LRP-LW is factory assembled for quick replacement. Load wheel assemblies arrive as complete units with wheels, bearings, and axles pre-installed and tested. Installation on your LRP 5000 requires only removal of old wheels and fastening new assemblies, taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Q: Does the GWK-LRP-LW include steer wheels or only load wheels?
A: The GWK-LRP-LW is a load wheel kit only. It contains replacement load wheel assemblies. If your steer wheels also require replacement, order them separately or contact the manufacturer for complete wheel kit options that include both load and steer assemblies.
Q: How do I maintain the sealed roller bearings in the GWK-LRP-LW?
A: The GWK-LRP-LW includes sealed roller bearings that are pre-lubricated and require no maintenance. Do not attempt to add grease or oil to sealed bearings, as this degrades seals and introduces contamination. Replace the entire wheel assembly if bearings fail or become noisy. Sealed bearings typically outlast wheel tread material.
