Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can GWK-2708-LW load wheels be installed on Uline models H-2900 and H-3045?
A: Yes, GWK-2708-LW is compatible with Uline H-2708, H-2900, and H-3045 manual pallet jacks. Before installation, verify that your model has the same wheel bore size and axle length as documented in your equipment manual. If specifications differ, contact the manufacturer or supplier for the correct part number for your specific model.
Q: What does non-marking mean on GWK-2708-LW wheels?
A: Non-marking means the Ultra-Poly wheels do not leave visible scuffs, stains, or discoloration on polished concrete, sealed wood floors, or epoxy-coated surfaces under normal use. The 70D polyurethane formulation is designed to be gentle on sensitive floor finishes. This is important for retail, food distribution, and pharmaceutical environments where floor appearance must be maintained.
Q: How do you install GWK-2708-LW load wheels on an H-2708 pallet jack?
A: Secure the pallet jack on blocks or use a jack stand to safely elevate the load wheel area. Remove fasteners from the wheel axle. Slide the old wheel assembly and bearing off the axle. Position the new Ultra-Poly wheel assembly onto the axle, ensuring the bearing and seal are properly seated. Reinstall fasteners by hand first to align everything, then tighten with a wrench. Check that the wheel spins freely without binding or noise.
Q: How do you diagnose if GWK-2708-LW wheels need replacement?
A: Inspect wheels monthly for flat spots, chunks missing from the tread, cracks in the polyurethane, or visible wear down to the steel hub. Grasp each wheel and try to move it side to side. Excessive play indicates worn bearings and means wheels need replacement. If the pallet jack pulls to one side or is difficult to steer, worn or misaligned wheels are likely the cause. Test with a smooth push and listen for grinding or squeaking noises.
Q: How long do GWK-2708-LW wheels last before requiring replacement?
A: GWK-2708-LW 70D Ultra-Poly wheels typically last 12 to 24 months depending on usage intensity, floor surface, and load weight. Moderate warehouse use on concrete floors yields longer life than heavy use on rough or outdoor surfaces. Maintain proper bearing lubrication and inspect wheels every 6 months to extend service life. Replace wheels immediately if bearing play or structural damage is detected.
