Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GW 627-A an upgrade over the standard GW 627 wheel, and are they interchangeable?
A: The GW 627-A is an aftermarket load wheel assembly offered as an alternative to the standard GW 627. Both have identical dimensions (3.250 inch diameter by 2.000 inch width) and bearing ID (25mm). They are functionally interchangeable if the bearing pocket and axle are the same size. GW 627-A may be supplied with pre-installed bearings or as an assembly, whereas standard GW 627 parts may require bearing installation. Verify bearing type and ID before ordering to confirm compatibility with your jack.
Q: What is the bearing ID and bore specification for the GW 627-A?
A: The GW 627-A has a 25.000mm bearing ID (0.984 inch bore). The wheel is constructed with a polyurethane tread bonded to a steel hub. Confirm your current bearing size by measuring the axle diameter or consulting your equipment manual. If your jack uses a different bearing size (such as 20mm or 30mm), the GW 627-A cannot be fitted without machine work.
Q: What is the material specification and hardness rating of the GW 627-A tread?
A: The GW 627-A uses Durarun 95A polyurethane for the tread and a steel hub for structural support. The 95A Shore A hardness rating provides excellent abrasion resistance and wear characteristics for heavy electric lift truck use. This formulation resists oil, grease, and many industrial fluids better than standard rubber wheels. The 95A rating is suitable for smooth indoor floors; do not use on rough outdoor surfaces as the tread will wear rapidly.
Q: How do I verify that the GW 627-A is compatible with my equipment before ordering?
A: Measure your current wheel width (should be 2.000 inches or 50.80mm) and diameter (should be 3.250 inches or 82.55mm). Verify the axle diameter by measuring the axle itself or looking at the current wheel hub bore. Confirm that it matches the 25mm specification. Check your equipment manual for cross-reference part numbers GW627, 627, or similar. If any measurement does not match, do not order the GW 627-A.
Q: Is the GW 627-A bearing pre-installed, or do I need to install bearings myself?
A: Product specifications indicate GW 627-A is a load wheel assembly; however, verify with the supplier whether bearings are pre-installed or supplied separately. If bearings are not included, you will need matching 25mm bore bearings. Do not attempt to use oversized or undersized bearings, as this causes excessive play, wobbling, and premature failure. When in doubt, contact the supplier for a complete assembly with bearings already installed.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the GW 627-A under normal warehouse operating conditions?
A: The Durarun 95A polyurethane tread typically lasts 3 to 5 years under continuous warehouse use with proper bearing maintenance. Lifespan depends on load intensity, floor surface, turning frequency, and storage conditions. Inspect wheels quarterly for embedded debris, cracking, or flat spots. Replace bearings every 2 to 3 years or when you detect play or grinding noise. Storing the equipment indoors away from sunlight and extreme temperature extends component life.
