Product Description
GW 880-EL-A Load Wheel Assembly is designed for electric lift trucks, featuring a 6.5-inch diameter polyurethane wheel with 25 mm center bore and precision 6205RS sealed bearing. The wheel uses 97A durometer black polyurethane bonded to a steel core, ensuring high strength and chemical resistance for industrial applications. Equivalent to legacy part numbers GW880-A, GP 880-A, and GW 880-A, and supersedes prior models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the cross-reference and equivalent part numbers for the GW 880-EL-A wheel?
A: The GW 880-EL-A is equivalent to GW880-A, GP 880-A, and GP880-A. It supersedes prior model GW 880-A. Always verify your jack documentation to confirm which legacy part number your electric lift truck uses, as some older units may have serialized cross-references that differ by manufacturer badge.
Q: What bearing is installed in the GW 880-EL-A and can it be replaced separately?
A: The GW 880-EL-A uses a 6205RS sealed bearing with a 25 mm center bore. The bearing is pre-installed and sealed; it is not field-serviceable on this assembly. If the bearing fails, you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Do not attempt to press out or repack the bearing, as this will compromise the seal and void the warranty.
Q: Is the GW 880-EL-A suitable for chemical or corrosive warehouse environments?
A: Yes. The 97 ±2 Shore A (ASTM D2240) polyurethane bonded to a steel core provides excellent chemical resistance and does not degrade in typical warehouse environments such as food storage or light chemical exposure. The sealed 6205RS bearing also resists moisture ingress. For highly corrosive environments, consult your jack manufacturer for compatibility confirmation.
Q: What is the load capacity and maximum operating diameter for the GW 880-EL-A?
A: The GW 880-EL-A is a 6.5-inch diameter load wheel assembly. Load capacity is determined by your electric lift truck model and jack rating, not by the wheel alone. Always verify your jack nameplate for maximum load capacity. Do not exceed the rated load, as this causes bearing wear and polyurethane compression, reducing wheel life and affecting floor protection.
Q: How do I identify wear and when should the GW 880-EL-A be replaced?
A: Replace the wheel assembly when you observe flat spots, visible cracks in the polyurethane, or grinding noise during operation. These symptoms indicate bearing wear or polyurethane degradation. Do not attempt to resurface a worn wheel; the bonded construction cannot be reliably re-machined. Preventive replacement at first sign of wear prevents damage to jack load cells and floors.
