Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the GW 626-XL and the GW 627 load wheels?
A: Both wheels share the same 3.250 inch diameter. The GW 626-XL has a 2.875 inch width, making it suitable for general material handling carts and trolleys. The GW 627 is 2.000 inches wide and is designed specifically for electric pallet jack trucks. Choose the GW 626-XL if your equipment bracket spacing is wider or if you need additional load distribution.
Q: Can I use the GW 626-XL wheel on an electric pallet jack?
A: The GW 626-XL may not fit electric pallet jack frames designed for the narrower GW 627 wheel. The 2.875 inch width can interfere with the mounting bracket or steering linkage on standard electric jacks. Always measure your current wheel width and verify brake and bearing compatibility before substituting. Mixing wheel sizes on the same jack can cause steering problems and uneven load distribution.
Q: What bearing size does the GW 626-XL use, and what is the maximum load capacity?
A: The GW 626-XL specifications do not specify bearing ID in the available data. Contact the manufacturer with the part number to confirm the exact bearing size, bore diameter, and maximum rated load per wheel. Do not assume bearing compatibility with other wheel models. Maximum load capacity depends on the number of wheels and the application (static vs. rolling load).
Q: How do I diagnose if the GW 626-XL wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe flat spots on the tread, chunks of polyurethane missing, visible cracks in the material, a rattling bearing, difficulty rolling smoothly, or wobbling side-to-side when the cart is pushed. If only one wheel exhibits damage, replace all wheels on the same axle to prevent steering issues and uneven wear.
Q: What maintenance does the GW 626-XL require to extend its service life?
A: Inspect wheels monthly for debris wrapped around the axle or bearing damage. Clean the tread with soap and water to remove oils and chemicals that degrade polyurethane. Check bearing play by lifting the wheel and attempting to rock it side-to-side. Repack or replace bearings every 2 to 3 years depending on use intensity. Store equipment indoors to prevent UV degradation of the polyurethane tread.
