Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the GW 211 load wheel axle differ from the GW 210?
A: Both the GW 211 and GW 210 are load wheel axle assemblies for manual pallet jacks. The specific differences in bearing size, axle diameter, or material composition depend on the jack model they are designed for. Verify your jack model number to ensure you order the correct axle. Do not interchange these parts without confirming compatibility with the manufacturer.
Q: What manual pallet jack models require the GW 211 axle assembly?
A: The GW 211 is a replacement axle assembly for specific manual pallet jack models. Consult your jack documentation or the original equipment manufacturer to confirm GW 211 compatibility. Using an incorrect axle can lead to misalignment, wheel wobble, and unsafe jack operation.
Q: What symptoms indicate the GW 211 axle requires replacement?
A: Listen for grinding or clicking sounds during operation. Check for visible bending, rust, or pitting on the axle shaft. Manually rotate the load wheels; they should spin freely without resistance. If wheels wobble side to side, do not roll smoothly, or the jack feels unstable during use, the GW 211 axle assembly likely needs replacement.
Q: What is the proper installation procedure for the GW 211 axle?
A: Secure the jack on a level workbench and remove the wheel fasteners. Tap the old axle assembly out using a rubber mallet. Position the new GW 211 axle and tap it into place, ensuring full seating. Re-install fasteners and test wheel rotation. Verify the wheels spin freely and the jack does not wobble before returning to service.
Q: How can I extend the service life of the GW 211 axle assembly?
A: Keep the axle clean and free from moisture to prevent rust and corrosion. Lubricate the axle shaft lightly with machine oil every 6 months. Do not overload the jack beyond its rated capacity. Store the jack in a dry, climate-controlled environment. Inspect bearings monthly for wear or noise. With proper maintenance, the GW 211 typically lasts 5 to 8 years.
