Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Durarun 95A polyurethane and how does the GW 806-A2 compare to standard 95A wheels?
A: Durarun 95A is an industrial-grade polyurethane compound with enhanced wear resistance and durability compared to standard 95A formulations. The GW 806-A2 uses Durarun 95A bonded to high-carbon chrome steel bearings, extending tread life by 15 to 25 percent in high-frequency electric pallet jack operations (40+ hours per week).
Q: What is the bearing size and material for the GW 806-A2?
A: The GW 806-A2 features a 17mm bore (0.669 inch) ID with high-carbon chrome steel bearing material. Chrome steel bearings resist corrosion and provide smoother rotation than standard bearing material, which is beneficial in damp warehouse or freezer environments where typical steel bearings rust or seize.
Q: Is the GW 806-A2 a direct replacement for wheels with 17mm axles?
A: Yes, the GW 806-A2 is a direct OEM replacement for any electric lift truck wheel assembly with a 17mm bearing ID and 3.250 inch diameter by 4.500 inch width. The high-carbon chrome steel bearing and Durarun tread make it ideal for upgrading worn-out wheels on heavily used equipment.
Q: How long does the GW 806-A2 wheel tread typically last?
A: With normal warehouse use (20 to 40 hours per week), the GW 806-A2 Durarun 95A tread lasts 2500 to 3500 operating hours before flat spotting or visible wear reduces traction. Heavy-duty use (50+ hours per week on hard floors) may reduce lifespan to 1800 to 2500 hours. Inspect quarterly and replace when chunks appear missing or tread depth is visibly reduced by half.
Q: Can I use the GW 806-A2 in cold storage or freezer environments?
A: Yes, the GW 806-A2 is suitable for cold storage use. The high-carbon chrome steel bearings resist rust and provide reliable rotation at freezer temperatures (below 0 degrees Fahrenheit). The Durarun 95A polyurethane remains flexible in cold, unlike some standard compounds. However, verify your pallet jack is rated for freezer duty before continuous operation below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q: What is the maximum safe load capacity for the GW 806-A2?
A: The GW 806-A2 is rated for standard to heavy-duty electric pallet jack service with per-wheel loads up to 1200 to 1600 pounds depending on jack model. Total truck load capacity is typically 2000 to 5500 pounds. Do not exceed the original equipment manufacturer load rating or the Durarun tread and chrome steel bearing will overstress and fail prematurely.
