Yale Hyster Load Wheel Kit

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Yale and Hyster models does the LWK-1048 fit?
A: The LWK-1048 is designed for Yale and Hyster electric walkie pallet jack models using 6205-2RS sealed bearings and compatible axle assemblies. Compatible models include Yale MPW and MPB series, and Hyster W-series walkie pallet jacks. Cross-reference your equipment model against bearing type 6205-2RS and axle part numbers 5241487-53 or 2046057 to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the wheel material and durometer rating?
A: The LWK-1048 features a polyurethane load wheel (WH-744-95D) with 95A durometer hardness. This compound delivers non-marking traction, minimal floor scuffing, and superior durability for warehouse, dock, and outdoor material handling applications.

Q: What bearing type does the LWK-1048 use?
A: The LWK-1048 uses 6205-2RS sealed deep groove ball bearings. The 2RS seal design protects against moisture, dust, and contamination while maintaining precision performance in heavy-duty electric pallet truck environments.

Q: What are the axle and bushing specifications?
A: The LWK-1048 includes a precision axle assembly (part numbers 5241487-53 or 2046057), matching bushing (5241487-52 or 2046056), and securing spiral pin (5241487-55 or 2046059). These components are engineered to Yale and Hyster factory specifications and tolerances.

Q: How long will the polyurethane wheel last?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on load weight, floor conditions, and operating hours. The 95A polyurethane compound is designed for extended use in warehouse and dock environments. Regular inspection of bearing condition and wheel wear is recommended to ensure continued safe operation.

Q: Can this wheel kit be used on non-Yale and non-Hyster equipment?
A: The LWK-1048 is specifically engineered for Yale and Hyster pallet jack compatibility based on bearing bore, axle diameter, and bushing fitment. Cross-reference part numbers with your equipment before installation to ensure proper fit and safe operation.
