Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing bore size for the GW 9150 load wheel?
A: The GW 9150 has a 25mm bearing bore (inner diameter). This is a different spindle fit than the GW 9144-A or GW 9144-XL series, which use 30mm bores. Do not install a GW 9150 on a truck spindle sized for 30mm bearings or vice versa. Verify your spindle bore size by measuring the existing wheel bore or checking your truck manual before ordering.
Q: Is the GW 9150 wheel a wheel-only part or does it include bearings?
A: The GW 9150 is a wheel-only replacement without bearings. You must have 25mm bore bearings on hand or source them separately. If bearings are not available, contact your supplier for a complete assembly version (GW 9150-A) that includes pre-installed bearings.
Q: What electric lift truck models use the GW 9150 wheel?
A: The GW 9150 is designed for electric lift trucks with 25mm spindle bores and 5.000 inch diameter wheel pockets. Common applications include older Jungheinrich models and some Crown models. Always verify your truck year and model against the OEM manual before ordering. If your truck currently runs GW 9150 wheels, replacements will be direct bolt-on without modification.
Q: What is Durarun 95A polyurethane and how does it compare to standard polyurethane?
A: Durarun 95A is a premium polyurethane compound formulated for extended tread life and superior wear resistance. The 95A durometer rating means it is harder than standard polyurethane, resisting flat-spotting and edge wear under continuous load. Durarun compounds also resist hardening and glazing better than generic polyurethane, making them suitable for high-temperature or year-round outdoor warehouse use.
Q: How do I diagnose if the GW 9150 wheel is worn and needs replacement?
A: Replace the GW 9150 wheel when you observe visible flat spots on the tread, cracks running through the polyurethane, or when the tread becomes hard and glossy to the touch. A failing wheel will cause the truck to drift or pull during operation and will reduce turning response. If the truck vibrates at speeds above 3 mph or makes a rhythmic noise, the wheel is likely flat-spotted and must be replaced.
Q: What is the tread width of the GW 9150 and does it affect stability?
A: The GW 9150 has a tread width of 2.88 inches (73.2 mm). This width provides balanced load distribution across the wheel contact patch. A narrower tread reduces stability on uneven flooring, while a wider tread would not fit the 5 inch diameter pocket. The 2.88 inch width is optimized for the 5 inch diameter specification and should not be altered or modified.
