Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the GW 627 load wheel?
A: The GW 627 is also referenced as GW627 (no space), GW 627-A, GW 627-A1, and simply 627. These are equivalent and interchangeable. When ordering parts, always specify GW 627 or request the part number from your equipment documentation to avoid receiving the narrower GW 626-XL by mistake.
Q: Is the GW 627 compatible with manual pallet jacks, or only electric models?
A: The GW 627 is engineered for electric pallet jack trucks and lift trucks that require sustained smooth rolling performance under electric drive. Manual pallet jacks do not have electric motors and typically use different wheel assemblies. Do not interchange the GW 627 onto a manual jack unless the frame, bearing pocket, and brake components match exactly. Verify your equipment type and model before ordering.
Q: What is the bearing bore size and load capacity of the GW 627?
A: The GW 627 has a machined steel core with a 25mm bearing ID (0.984 inch bore, 25.000mm specification). The tread is 95 Shore A Durarun polyurethane, which provides excellent abrasion resistance under electric-driven conditions. Maximum load capacity depends on the jack frame configuration and number of wheels. Consult the jack manufacturer for rated load limits.
Q: How do I install the GW 627 wheel, and what tools are required?
A: Lower the jack fully and secure it with mechanical blocks before beginning. Remove the axle nut or clip that retains the old wheel. Slide the wheel off the axle. Inspect the axle for rust, dirt, or damage and clean if needed. Slide the new GW 627 onto the axle, align the 25mm bore with the axle diameter, and reinstall the retaining nut or clip. Torque per manufacturer specification or until snug without over-tightening. Test rolling before returning to service.
Q: What causes premature wear on the GW 627 wheel, and how can I prevent it?
A: Premature wear results from overloading, skidding during turns on electric drive, bearing misalignment, or debris embedding in the tread. Prevent wear by keeping the truck within rated capacity, ensuring wheels are aligned, maintaining bearing lubrication, and cleaning debris from the tread regularly. Rotate wheels periodically if the truck is used predominantly in one direction. Replace all four wheels together rather than one at a time to maintain consistent rolling resistance.
Q: Can I repair a damaged GW 627 wheel, or must it be replaced?
A: If damage is limited to chunks of tread missing or flat spots that affect rolling smoothness, the wheel must be replaced. Polyurethane tread cannot be reliably repaired by re-molding or patching. If the steel core is bent or the bearing bore is enlarged, replacement is the only safe option. Do not attempt to machine or modify the bore diameter, as this may cause vibration and bearing failure.
