Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does GWK-1043-LW fit, and will it work with other brands?
A: GWK-1043-LW is designed for Uline manual pallet jacks: H-1043, H-1366, H-1193, and H-1484. It is a load wheel kit only and does not include steer wheels. It will not fit Raymond, Yale, or other manufacturer pallet jacks. Verify your jack model on the nameplate before ordering. If uncertain, confirm with your equipment manual or contact Uline directly.
Q: Why is GWK-1043-LW rated 70D hardness instead of softer polyurethane?
A: 70D Ultra-Poly is harder than standard 92A or 95A polyurethane, providing superior resistance to abrasion, cutting, and fracturing on rough concrete, warehouse racks, and factory floors. Unlike nylon wheels, 70D Ultra-Poly does not chip or crack under heavy loads. The trade-off is that 70D is slightly less floor-protective than softer compounds, so avoid 70D wheels on delicate or polished surfaces where marking is a concern.
Q: Does GWK-1043-LW include bearings, axles, and fasteners, or do I need to buy them separately?
A: GWK-1043-LW includes two complete load wheel assemblies with sealed ball bearings, axles, and fasteners pre-installed. You do not need to order additional components. Simply remove your old wheels and install the new assemblies. Installation time is approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Q: How do I know if GWK-1043-LW wheels are worn out and need replacement?
A: Inspect wheels for these symptoms: visible flat spots or uneven wear patterns, cracks or chunks missing from the wheel edge, grinding or squeaking noise when rolling the jack, or wheels that do not spin freely even after manual cleaning and fastener tightening. If any of these are present, wheels have reached end of life and must be replaced. Worn wheels reduce maneuverability and cause steering problems.
Q: Can GWK-1043-LW wheels be used in cold storage, and do they require special handling?
A: Yes, GWK-1043-LW Ultra-Poly wheels perform well in sub-zero cold storage environments. The polyurethane formulation resists hardening at low temperatures. However, cold thermal contraction can loosen fasteners, so check axle nut torque more frequently, ideally before each shift, during extended cold storage use. Clean ice or frost from wheels to maintain traction.
