Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GW 628 a direct replacement for my old pallet jack wheels?
A: GW 628 is designed as a direct replacement for standard pallet jack load wheels. Verify your current wheel dimensions (3.25 inch diameter x 5.94 inch width) before ordering. If dimensions do not match, contact your truck manufacturer for correct part.
Q: What is the bearing ID on GW 628?
A: GW 628 specifications do not specify a fixed bearing ID. The core is precision-machined steel. Measure your existing wheel bearing bore diameter and confirm it matches your axle shaft before installation.
Q: Can I mix GW 628 wheels with my existing used wheels?
A: Do not mix new and worn wheels on the same truck. New wheels have full 3.25 inch diameter while worn wheels are smaller. This causes load imbalance and uneven wear. Replace all four wheels at the same time.
Q: How do I diagnose if GW 628 wheels are failing?
A: Look for flat spots, chunks missing from tread, visible cracking, or excessive wobble when rolling. If one wheel fails, all four should be replaced. Do not attempt repair with polyurethane cement or coating.
Q: What is the Shore A hardness of GW 628?
A: GW 628 has Shore A 95 hardness polyurethane. This provides balanced grip and durability for general warehouse floors.
Q: What is the typical replacement interval for GW 628?
A: With typical warehouse use, expect to replace GW 628 wheels every 20-30 months. Heavy use or rough floors reduce this to 12-18 months. Inspect wheels monthly for flat spots and tread separation.
