Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 0.75-inch through bore on GW L15 mean, and is it the same as the axle diameter?
A: The 0.75-inch through bore is the inner hole diameter through which the axle shaft passes. This is the standard bore size for many manual pallet jack designs. It is not the same as the axle diameter itself, which is typically slightly smaller to allow the wheel to spin freely. Always verify your jack axle diameter before ordering to ensure fit.
Q: GW L15 has a 95 Shore A minimum hardness rating. What does this mean for performance and wear life?
A: 95 Shore A is a very hard polyurethane compound, which resists cutting and abrasion on rough flooring. Higher hardness means longer tread life but can feel slightly less grippy on smooth floors. GW L15 is optimized for industrial environments where flooring is uneven or textured. In climate-controlled warehouses with smooth concrete, this wheel will outlast softer compounds by 50 to 100 percent.
Q: GW L15 has no cross-reference or supersession part numbers. Does this mean it is not compatible with other brands?
A: No cross-reference does not mean incompatible with other brands. It means the data provider does not list equivalents. GW L15 may fit other manual pallet jacks with a 0.75-inch bore and 2.75-inch diameter requirement. However, always verify your exact OEM part number and jack model before assuming compatibility. Different jack designs have different mounting and spacing requirements.
Q: How do I diagnose if GW L15 bearings are failing or if the wheel is simply dirty?
A: Test bearing condition by: (1) Lift the jack with load partially off the ground. (2) Spin each wheel by hand. A healthy bearing spins freely for 5 to 10 rotations and slows gradually. (3) If the wheel stops in 1 to 2 rotations or feels gritty, the bearing is likely contaminated or failing. (4) Check for side play by grabbing the wheel and pushing inward and outward. Any play indicates bearing wear or axle looseness. Clean dirt first, then retest.
Q: What is the maximum safe load for GW L15, and can I overload a jack with larger capacity wheels?
A: GW L15 specifications do not state individual wheel load capacity. Load limits are set by the jack frame and hydraulic system, not the wheel. Installing larger or harder wheels does not increase the jack capacity. Exceeding the jack nameplate rating risks hydraulic failure, jack tipping, or load drop. Always respect your jack nameplate capacity regardless of wheel upgrade.
Q: Is GW L15 with 6204-2RS-3/4 bearing plug-and-play with a jack that currently uses 6204RS bearings?
A: Yes, physically the wheel will fit because both bearings have the same bore size. However, 6204-2RS (sealed both sides) has a different sealing profile than 6204RS (sealed one side). For best performance, replace all four wheels with the same bearing type to ensure balanced response. Mixing bearing types is not recommended for uneven seal resistance and potential bearing heating under load.
