Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GW 2365 and GW 2365-XL load wheels?
A: Both wheels are 3.250 inch diameter by 4.500 inch width polyurethane load wheels for electric pallet jacks. The standard GW 2365 has a 95A durometer hardness, while the GW 2365-XL uses 97A durometer polyurethane. The XL variant is harder and offers extended wear life, making it better for high-cycle operations or rough warehouse floors. Choose GW 2365 for standard applications; choose GW 2365-XL for heavy-use or extended-life requirements.
Q: Is GW 2365 compatible with electric pallet jacks from multiple OEM brands?
A: The GW 2365 is designed for electric pallet jacks with a 25mm (0.984 inch) bearing bore. This wheel fits Crown WP2300 and similar platform trucks but not all electric jacks. Verify your truck model, bearing ID, and wheel hub specifications before purchasing. Cross-reference your OEM part number against GW 2365 specs. Some brands use different bore sizes (20mm or 30mm), so always check bearing dimensions before ordering.
Q: How do I install the GW 2365 load wheel on my electric pallet jack?
A: Lift the jack on stands and remove the cotter pin or retaining ring from the axle. Slide the old wheel off, then slide the GW 2365 wheel onto the axle bore, ensuring it is centered and does not bind. Replace the cotter pin or install a new retaining ring to secure the wheel. Rotate the wheel by hand to verify smooth spin with no rubbing. Test the jack on a smooth floor before returning to service. Do not over-tighten the retaining pin, as this can bind the bearing.
Q: What load capacity can the GW 2365 wheel support?
A: The GW 2365 wheel is rated for electric pallet jack loads up to 4,000 pounds (depending on the jack design and overall truck rating). The wheel material (95A polyurethane) provides good wear resistance on concrete and composite floors. The actual load capacity depends on total jack design, axle strength, and bearing load rating. Never exceed your jack nameplate load rating, as wheel degradation and bearing failure will accelerate under overload.
Q: How long does a GW 2365 wheel typically last before needing replacement?
A: Standard GW 2365 wheels (95A durometer) last 12 to 24 months in typical warehouse use (8 hours per day, moderate load cycling). Heavier use or rough surfaces reduce lifespan to 6 to 12 months. GW 2365-XL wheels (97A durometer) extend life by 20 to 30 percent. Replace the wheel when you notice uneven wear, flat spots, chunks missing, or the wheel does not roll smoothly. Regular cleaning and bearing lubrication extend wheel life.
Q: What surface types work best with the GW 2365 polyurethane wheel?
A: The GW 2365 wheel performs well on concrete, sealed concrete, epoxy floors, and composite surfaces. The 95A durometer is soft enough to provide good traction and reduce noise but hard enough to resist sharp debris. It is not recommended for outdoor rough gravel or heavily oiled floors, as the wheel will wear quickly and may slip. For outdoor or extreme-surface use, consult your OEM for alternative wheel compounds (rubber or elastomer blends).
