Load Roller Axle
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of pallet jack models use the GW 215 load roller axle?
A: The GW 215 is a load roller axle for manual pallet jacks that use roller-based guidance systems. It is not interchangeable with wheel axles. To confirm fitment with your jack, identify your jack model and verify the axle bore diameter and mounting bracket configuration against the GW 215 specifications.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the GW 215 before replacement is needed?
A: With proper maintenance and normal warehouse use, a load roller axle typically lasts 2 to 5 years or 1000 to 2000 hours of operation. Heavy use, inadequate lubrication, or overloading can reduce lifespan significantly. Inspect quarterly and replace immediately if wear becomes evident.
Q: How do I know if the GW 215 is failing or just needs lubrication?
A: First, clean the axle thoroughly and apply fresh machine oil to bearing areas. Let it sit for an hour, then spin the roller by hand. If movement is smooth and silent, the axle is serviceable. If grinding, squealing, or rough rotation persists after lubrication, the axle or bearings are damaged and must be replaced.
Q: What tools are required to replace the GW 215?
A: You will need wrenches or sockets to fit the mounting bolts, a press or soft-face mallet if the axle is press-fitted, and possibly a bearing puller if the old axle bearings are seized. Have a rag and machine oil available for cleanup and initial lubrication. Consult your jack manual for the exact torque specification for fasteners.
Q: Does the GW 215 have a manufacturer cross-reference or equivalent part?
A: No direct cross-reference is documented for the GW 215. Contact the original jack manufacturer or our technical support with your jack model to confirm part compatibility before ordering.
