Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does it mean that GW 9141-EL does not include bearings?
A: The GW 9141-EL is a wheel tread only with a 47mm bore for the axle. You must install your own bearings on the axle before mounting the wheel. This is a core-style replacement for users who have existing bearings in good condition and want to save cost. If your bearings are worn or you have no bearings, you must purchase them separately. Most users prefer complete assemblies (GW 9141-A-R or GW 9141-A1) to avoid bearing work.
Q: Is GW 9141-EL equivalent to GW 9141, GW-9141, or GW9141A?
A: The GW 9141-EL shares the same tread dimensions and material (3.25 inch diameter, 6.5 inch width, 95A polyurethane) as GW9141, GW-9141, GW9141A, and GW-9141A. However, the A variants include pre-installed bearings while EL does not. If you are replacing a bearingless wheel model, EL is direct equivalent. If your truck has complete wheel assemblies, do not order EL unless you specifically need a core wheel without bearings.
Q: What bearings do I need to install on GW 9141-EL?
A: You need deep-groove ball bearings with a 25mm inner diameter (ID) to match the 47mm bore of the wheel. Standard bearing sizes are 6005 or 25x47x12. Verify bearing width fits your axle length. Most electric pallet jacks use 15-17mm wide bearings. Purchase sealed or shielded bearings to protect from contamination. Grease-packed sealed bearings are preferred for electric trucks. Do not reuse old bearings if they show any noise or play.
Q: How do I install bearings on the GW 9141-EL tread?
A: Clean the axle thoroughly with a dry cloth. Slide the bearing onto the axle by hand or use a bearing press if available. Use a small pipe or bearing tool to tap bearings fully seated against the shoulder on the axle. Do not hammer directly on bearings as impact damage causes premature failure. Once bearings are seated, slide the wheel tread over the axle and install the retaining bolt. Torque to 25-35 Nm and check that wheel rotates freely.
Q: Is GW 9141-EL suitable for wet environments without seals?
A: No. The GW 9141-EL wheel tread itself is resistant to water, but bearings you install are exposed to contamination. For wet or outdoor use, always install sealed or double-sealed bearings on EL treads. Consider using GW 9141-A-R-DS (complete sealed assembly) instead if your shop does not have bearing installation capability. Unsealed bearings in wet environments rust within 200-400 hours and fail rapidly.
Q: Can I save money long-term by using GW 9141-EL if I reuse old bearings?
A: Not recommended. Reusing old bearings from a failed wheel assembly is false economy. Old bearings often have hidden internal damage, rust, or wear that is not visible. Bearing failure under load creates sudden jack loss and operator injury risk. Cost of new sealed bearings plus labor is typically $30-50 total; risk and liability far exceed savings. Always install new bearings when replacing wheels.
