Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -DS suffix mean on GW 9141-A-DS?
A: DS indicates Durarun, a high-performance polyurethane compound formulation. Durarun offers enhanced wear resistance and extended tread life compared to standard 95A polyurethane. GW 9141-A-DS is specified for high-cycle warehouse environments and frequent truck usage.
Q: Is GW 9141-A-DS a direct replacement for GW 9141-A?
A: Yes. Both versions have identical bore (25mm), diameter (3.250 inch), and width (6.500 inch). GW 9141-A-DS simply uses a more durable tread compound. If your truck currently uses GW 9141-A, upgrade to GW 9141-A-DS for longer service life. Installation is identical.
Q: What is the single sealed ball bearing in GW 9141-A-DS?
A: The single sealed bearing is a self-contained unit with hardened steel balls and races, pre-lubricated and sealed for the life of the wheel. This bearing supports the entire rolling load on the 25mm axle. Sealed design prevents contamination but does not allow re-lubrication during service.
Q: How long does GW 9141-A-DS last compared to standard GW 9141-A?
A: GW 9141-A-DS Durarun tread typically extends service life 25-35% longer than standard polyurethane under identical duty conditions. Standard GW 9141-A may last 16-20 months; GW 9141-A-DS often reaches 22-24 months. Actual lifespan depends on floor type, duty cycle, and environmental factors.
Q: What cross-reference part numbers are equivalent to GW 9141-A-DS?
A: Cross-reference numbers include GW9141-A-DS, GW9141ADS, and 9141ADS. Equivalent manufacturer numbers include GW9141-A-R, GW9141-A-R-DS. Order using any of these part numbers; they all reference the same assembly. Verify the -DS suffix if you specifically need Durarun compound for durability.
Q: Should I replace all wheels with GW 9141-A-DS or just one failed wheel?
A: Best practice is to replace all four wheels at the same time to maintain even rolling height, load distribution, and consistent braking response. If one wheel fails, you can replace only that wheel with GW 9141-A-DS, but replacing the full set every 18-24 months ensures optimal truck performance and safety.
