Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing size for the GW 806-A1 and how does it differ from GW 806-A?
A: The GW 806-A1 has a 17mm bearing ID (0.669 inch bore), which is smaller than the GW 806-A (25mm bearing). This is critical for fitment: a 17mm wheel cannot be installed on a 25mm axle shaft. Always measure or verify your original part number before ordering as bearing size determines compatibility.
Q: Is the GW 806-A1 compatible with Yale and Hyster electric pallet jacks?
A: The GW 806-A1 is an OEM replacement engineered for electric lift trucks with 17mm bearing axles. Yale and Hyster models differ by serial range and year of manufacture. Cross-check your equipment model and axle bearing diameter against the part specification sheet to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Q: What material is the wheel tread on the GW 806-A1?
A: The GW 806-A1 features high-durability polyurethane 95A Shore A hardness tread bonded to a carbon steel core. The polyurethane provides grip on concrete and wood floors while the carbon steel core adds strength for sustained load bearing in distribution center and manufacturing environments.
Q: How do I replace the GW 806-A1 wheel assembly?
A: Lift the pallet jack frame on blocks. Remove the axle clip or cotter pin retaining the old wheel. Slide the old wheel off the 17mm axle shaft. Clean the axle to remove dirt and corrosion. Slide the new GW 806-A1 onto the axle until the bearing bore seats fully. Reinstall the axle clip and verify smooth rotation before lowering the frame.
Q: What maintenance does the GW 806-A1 sealed bearing require?
A: The sealed bearings on the GW 806-A1 are maintenance-free and do not require greasing or lubrication. However, periodically spin the wheel by hand to verify smooth, quiet rotation. If you hear grinding or resistance, the bearing seal may be damaged and the wheel assembly needs replacement. Do not attempt to repack sealed bearings.
Q: What is the maximum load per wheel for the GW 806-A1?
A: The GW 806-A1 is rated for standard pallet jack duty with loads up to the original equipment maximum per wheel, typically 1000 to 1500 pounds depending on your jack model and number of wheels. Do not use for overloaded or side-loaded conditions as this will damage the polyurethane tread and bearing prematurely.
