Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GW 628 and GW 628-A?
A: GW 628-A requires four separate bearings and has a 25mm bearing ID (0.984 inch bore), while GW 628 comes as a complete wheel unit. GW 628-A is used when building custom assemblies or replacing wheels on older equipment with 25mm axles.
Q: Are GW 628-A and GP 628-A interchangeable?
A: Yes. GW 628-A is cross-referenced as GP 628-A. All part numbers (GW628A, GP 628A, GW628-A, GP 628-A) refer to the same component. Order with any SKU and receive identical product.
Q: How many bearings do I need for one GW 628-A wheel?
A: GW 628-A requires four 25mm ID bearings per wheel (one on each side of the wheel, plus spares or reserve). Do not attempt to use fewer bearings or undersized bearings.
Q: Can I swap GW 628-A bearing ID from 25mm to 20mm?
A: No. Bearing bore is cast into the wheel core and cannot be machined. If your axle is 20mm, you need GW 627-A1 (20mm ID), not GW 628-A. Ordering wrong bearing ID will result in non-functional assembly.
Q: What is the width of GW 628-A and how does it affect footprint?
A: GW 628-A is 5.94 inches wide. Wide wheel base provides stability for heavier loads and uneven floors. Verify truck wheelbase accommodates 5.94 inch wide wheels before ordering.
Q: What is the Shore A hardness of GW 628-A?
A: GW 628-A has 95A Shore durometer polyurethane. This is the standard hardness for balanced grip and wear resistance in warehouse environments.
