Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GW 9135-XL load wheel equivalent to the Superior L509135?
A: Yes. The GW 9135-XL is the OEM equivalent to Superior L509135 and L509135ASSY (assembly). Both use the same 3.25 inch diameter x 5.00 inch width polyurethane construction and are cross-compatible on Crown, HYG, Raymond, and UniCarriers trucks that call for L509135 load wheel specification. Always verify your truck model before ordering to confirm it uses the L509135 spec.
Q: What is the wheel material and hardness for the GW 9135-XL?
A: The GW 9135-XL is constructed from high-quality polyurethane with natural finish coating. The 97A durometer rating indicates a harder, more wear-resistant compound designed for heavy-duty electric lift truck applications where loads are sustained and floor conditions are rough. This hardness is suitable for warehouse and industrial environments.
Q: What trucks are compatible with the GW 9135-XL load wheel?
A: The GW 9135-XL is compatible with Crown, HYG, Raymond, and UniCarriers electric lift trucks that use the L509135 load wheel specification. Do not assume fit based on manufacturer alone. Verify that your truck model calls for the 3.25 inch diameter x 5.00 inch width (82.55mm x 127.00mm) load wheel before purchase.
Q: How do I diagnose if my truck needs GW 9135-XL load wheel replacement?
A: Replace the load wheel if you observe flat spots, chunks missing from the wheel face, excessive vibration during forward motion, steering pull to one side, or polyurethane material separating from the core. Additionally, if the wheel is 1/2 inch or more worn below its original diameter, replacement is recommended to maintain load capacity and handling performance.
Q: Is the GW 9135-XL a simple replacement or does it require wheel bearing and axle components?
A: The GW 9135-XL is a wheel assembly only and does not include bearings or axles. If your truck requires bearing or axle replacement, those must be ordered separately. To perform replacement, you will need basic tools: socket set, crescent wrench, and possibly a bearing puller if the bearing is press-fit. Consult your truck maintenance manual for removal procedures specific to your model.
Q: What is the expected lifespan and maintenance schedule for the GW 9135-XL?
A: Polyurethane load wheels typically provide 2 to 3 years of service under normal warehouse use, though heavy-duty operations may reduce lifespan to 12 to 18 months. Inspect wheels monthly for wear and damage. Clean wheels regularly to remove debris buildup. Do not attempt to re-surface or true a worn wheel. Replace when wear exceeds 1/2 inch below original diameter.
