Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are there alternate model names I should know when ordering GWK-ECO-LW for my Mobile pallet jack?
A: GWK-ECO-LW fits pallet jacks marketed as ECO I-55, ECOI55 (no hyphen), or ECO I 55 (with space). These are equivalent model designations for the same pallet jack platform. Verify your jack is one of these variants before ordering. If your model designation looks different, cross-reference with your original equipment manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
Q: Does GWK-ECO-LW include both load wheel assemblies, or do I need to order a second kit?
A: GWK-ECO-LW is a complete load wheel kit that includes two load wheel assemblies with bearings, axles, and fasteners. You do not need to order a second kit. One order provides wheels for both the left and right sides of the pallet jack.
Q: What are the visible wear signs that indicate my ECO I-55 load wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels if you observe flat spots on the rolling surface that are 1/4 inch or deeper, visible cracks or chunks missing from the black polyurethane, permanent color fading or hardening of the material, wheels that no longer rotate freely (indicating bearing seals have failed), or if pushing the loaded jack requires noticeably more effort than previously. Also replace if wheels are more than 5 years old, even if they appear visually intact, as internal bearing degradation may be hidden.
Q: What is the torque specification for the bolts securing GWK-ECO-LW wheels to the ECO I-55 frame?
A: Torque all wheel assembly bolts to 40 to 50 foot-pounds using a calibrated torque wrench. Do not guess at tightness. Under-torqued bolts may loosen during operation and cause wheel slippage or bearing failure. Over-torqued bolts can crack the plastic or aluminum mounting flange. After the first 8 hours of operation, re-check all fasteners with the torque wrench and tighten as needed.
Q: How should I prepare the axles before installing the GWK-ECO-LW wheels?
A: Clean the axle shaft with a wire brush or fine steel wool to remove rust, corrosion, and old grease. Inspect the axle for bending or scoring; a damaged axle must be replaced before installing new wheels. Wipe the axle dry and apply a thin coat of wheel bearing grease to the exposed shaft. This prevents corrosion and allows the wheel bearing to seat smoothly when installed. Do not use excessive grease, which can accumulate dirt and migrate into bearing seals.
