Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does the GWK-BFN-LW fit besides Mighty Lift ML55?
A: The GWK-BFN-LW is compatible with Mighty Lift ML55 pallet jacks, CFA Material Handling 5500LB jacks, and E-Z-V Lift pallet jacks rated for 5500LB. Always verify your specific model before ordering. Cross-brand compatibility is possible when load ratings and frame dimensions match, but fitment is not guaranteed. Consult your pallet jack nameplate for exact model number and confirm compatibility with your supplier.
Q: What is the difference between the 70D durometer nylon wheels and lower-rated wheels?
A: The GWK-BFN-LW wheels have a 70D durometer rating, indicating a moderately hard nylon compound. This provides superior rolling performance compared to softer materials and better durability than lower-rated wheels. 70D offers the right balance between floor grip and wear resistance for typical warehouse and factory environments. Higher durometer wheels (80D+) are harder but may be slippery on smooth floors.
Q: Are the steel axles rust-resistant or do they require maintenance?
A: Steel axles provide long-lasting functionality in harsh conditions but are not inherently rust-resistant. In corrosive or wet environments, inspect axles quarterly for rust or pitting. Light surface rust can be cleaned with a wire brush and light lubricating oil applied. If deep rust or pitting is visible, replace the axle. Apply a thin protective oil layer during maintenance to prevent rust formation.
Q: Can the GWK-BFN-LW be used on display floors without marking?
A: Yes. The GWK-BFN-LW features molded nylon, non-marking construction, making it suitable for display floors and polished surfaces. Non-marking means the wheel does not leave visible scuff marks or residue. However, ensure wheels are clean before use on display areas and avoid dragging or spinning wheels excessively, as debris embedded in the wheel can still cause damage.
Q: What is included in the GWK-BFN-LW kit and what additional components might I need?
A: The GWK-BFN-LW includes two nylon load roller assemblies with bearings, axles, and fasteners. This kit replaces load wheels only. If your pallet jack also has worn steer wheels, they are not included in this kit. Order separately or purchase the complete kit (GWK-BFN-CK) if both load and steer wheels need replacement.
Q: How do I diagnose if load wheels need replacement versus just bearing maintenance?
A: Spin wheels by hand: they should rotate freely with minimal resistance. If rotation is difficult or grinding sounds occur, bearings may need lubrication or replacement. If wheels have flat spots, chunks missing, or are visibly smaller than the other wheel, the wheel needs replacement. If only bearings are damaged but wheels are intact, some bearings can be replaced separately. Consult your bearing specification to confirm availability.
