Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does GW L17 spec list both 3.00-inch nominal diameter and 2.75-inch assembly diameter?
A: The 3.00-inch nominal diameter is the effective rolling diameter of the polyurethane tread at standard inflation or under minimal load. The 2.75-inch assembly diameter likely refers to the measured diameter at the rim or core before tread bonding. Use 3.00 inches as the actual rolling size for jack performance calculations, floor clearance checks, and compatibility verification.
Q: GW L17 has a sealed roller bearing design. Is this different from the 6204-2RS-3/4 ball bearing on other wheels?
A: GW L17 lists both sealed roller bearing design and 6204-2RS-3/4 in specifications. The 6204-2RS-3/4 is a ball bearing, not a roller bearing. This specification conflict is unclear. Contact the supplier to confirm whether GW L17 uses a sealed roller bearing or a 6204-2RS-3/4 ball bearing. Do not assume both descriptions apply to the same wheel, as bearing type affects performance and replacement compatibility.
Q: GW L17 is 3.70 inches wide with a 0.75-inch bore. Will this fit on a jack currently using 3.75-inch wheels?
A: GW L17 at 3.70 inches width is 0.05 inches narrower than the standard 3.75-inch wheels on most manual pallet jacks. This small difference may cause side play or uneven load distribution if mixed with wider wheels. If your jack fork tips are designed for 3.75-inch spacing, install all four wheels as 3.70-inch to maintain alignment. Do not mix widths on the same jack.
Q: How do I know if GW L17 is compatible with my pallet jack model?
A: To verify compatibility: (1) Check your jack nameplate for the OEM part number and model. (2) Measure the current wheel diameter, width, and bore diameter. (3) Compare to GW L17 specs: 3.00-inch nominal diameter, 3.70-inch width, 0.75-inch bore. (4) Contact the supplier or your jack distributor with your OEM part number to confirm GW L17 cross-reference. Do not rely on dimension matching alone if the jack uses proprietary mounting.
Q: What is the lifespan of GW L17, and what symptoms indicate it is time to replace?
A: Lifespan depends on load and floor type but typically ranges from 3 to 5 years of continuous warehouse use. Replace GW L17 when: (1) Polyurethane tread is visibly chunked, cracked, or worn flat. (2) Wheel no longer rolls smoothly or makes grinding noises. (3) Bearing has side play or wobbles on the axle. (4) Load or handling feels sluggish compared to new wheels. (5) Jack manufacturer specifies replacement interval (usually marked on the nameplate). Replace all four wheels together for consistent performance.
