Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GW 880 equivalent to GP 880 and GW 880-EL-A?
A: Yes. GW 880 is directly equivalent to GP 880 and GW 880-EL-A. All three part numbers reference the same 3.250 inch diameter x 6.500 inch width polyurethane load wheel assembly rated at 95A durometer. You can substitute any of these interchangeably, but verify your bearing ID requirement (25mm standard) before ordering to confirm the assembly type matches your truck model and serial range.
Q: What is the difference between GW 880 and GW 880-A?
A: GW 880-A is the manufacturer part number designation while GW 880 is the OEM reference. They have identical wheel dimensions (3.250 x 6.500) and polyurethane composition (95A Shore). The -A suffix simply indicates the manufacturer assembly revision. If your equipment documentation calls for GW 880, you can order GW 880-A and receive the correct wheel. Both accept 25mm ID bearings.
Q: Does the GW 880 wheel include bearings?
A: No. The GW 880 is a load wheel assembly without integrated bearings. You must source 25mm ID bearings separately. The wheel core is raw steel finish with chemically bonded polyurethane tread. If you need a pre-assembled wheel with bearings installed, contact your supplier about GW 880-A-SG (double shielded ZZ type bearings included) or GW 880-A-DS (double sided bearing configuration).
Q: What causes premature wear on the GW 880 polyurethane tread?
A: Worn or seized bearings cause the wheel to lock up or drag, creating flat spots and accelerated tread wear. Misalignment between the wheel axle and truck frame generates sideways friction. Overloading beyond the truck capacity rating causes permanent deformation. Oil or grease contamination softens polyurethane. Replace the wheel if tread depth is uneven, flat-spotted, or has visible chunks missing. If wear is one-sided, check bearing preload and truck frame alignment before installing a replacement.
Q: Can you reuse the bearing from an old GW 880 wheel when installing a new one?
A: Not recommended. Reused bearings may have internal damage, corrosion, or wear that is not visible externally. Even if the bearing rolls freely by hand, it may fail under load hours later. Install new sealed or shielded bearings (25mm ID minimum) when replacing the wheel to ensure safe operation and avoid downtime. If the old bearing removed easily and the axle shows no scoring or rust, you can inspect it for obvious damage, but new bearings cost far less than lost productivity.
