Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions and bearing specifications for the GW 149?
A: The GW 149 is a 4.000 inch diameter x 2.375 inch width load wheel (also 101.60mm x 60.32mm) with a 0.750 inch bearing ID. The wheel features a polyurethane tread on a steel core and is specifically engineered for electric pallet jack applications.
Q: Is the GW 149 suitable for both manual and electric pallet jacks?
A: No, the GW 149 is designed specifically for electric lift trucks and electric pallet jacks. The smaller 4.000 inch diameter and 0.750 inch bearing ID are optimized for electric truck axle configurations. Do not use this wheel on manual pallet jacks, as the bearing ID and load rating may not match your equipment.
Q: How do I identify if a GW 149 wheel is failing?
A: Look for tread separation, visible cracks in the polyurethane, flat spots from dragging, or reduced rolling resistance. Listen for bearing noise or grinding during operation. If the wheel does not spin freely or the electric truck struggles to move loads smoothly, the wheel assembly likely needs replacement.
Q: What is the installation procedure for replacing a GW 149 wheel?
A: Secure the electric truck on a level surface and ensure the battery is disconnected. Remove the axle cotter pin or bolt. Slide the worn wheel off the axle. Slide the new GW 149 wheel onto the axle and re-secure the fastener. Verify smooth rotation and alignment before reconnecting the battery and returning to service.
Q: What maintenance practices maximize GW 149 wheel lifespan?
A: Clean the tread regularly to remove buildup. Operate within the electric truck load rating to prevent overloading. Check bearings monthly for water intrusion or noise. Avoid extreme temperatures and rough surfaces that accelerate polyurethane degradation. Expected service life is 18 to 36 months under normal warehouse use.
