Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What bearing size does the GW 9153-A use?
A: The GW 9153-A has a 25mm (0.984 inch) bore ID. This bearing size is standard for many Class 2 and 3 electric pallet jacks and walkie lift trucks. Always measure your existing axle and bearing before ordering. Do not assume bearing size from model number alone.
Q: Is GW 9153-A a direct replacement for GW 9153?
A: Functionally, yes, but with caveats. The GW 9153-A is softer (Durarun 95A versus XL 97A) and slightly wider (4.130 inch versus 4.125 inch). If your truck fits a 5 inch diameter x 4.125 inch width wheel and your bearing bore is 25mm, the GW 9153-A will work. However, the softer tread may wear faster under heavy loads.
Q: What does Durarun 95A polyurethane mean?
A: Durarun is a polyurethane compound formulation with Shore A 95A hardness rating. This medium-hardness tread balances grip and durability. It is softer than XL 97A, offering better initial traction but potentially shorter lifespan under extreme load or abrasive floors.
Q: How do I install bearings in the GW 9153-A?
A: Press or tap 25mm bore deep-groove ball bearings into the wheel bore using a bearing press or soft-faced mallet. Ensure bearings are seated fully and evenly on both sides. Do not force; use steady, even pressure. If you lack bearing installation tools, have a certified technician or bearing supplier complete this step to avoid bore damage.
Q: Can I use the GW 9153-A on outdoor or rough concrete?
A: The GW 9153-A is rated for standard industrial indoor use. Outdoor exposure, salt, oils, and extreme temperature swings degrade polyurethane. On rough concrete, the softer 95A tread wears faster than 97A. For outdoor or high-abrasion service, consult the equipment manual or your parts supplier for suitable alternatives.
Q: What is the typical replacement interval for GW 9153-A?
A: In typical warehouse use (8 to 10 hours per day, moderate load), expect 15 to 24 months of service. High-frequency use (24/7 operation) reduces lifespan to 8 to 12 months. Replace when tread is visibly flat, wheel slips during load handling, or steering becomes difficult.
