Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-TM55-LW and GWK-TM55-CK?
A: GWK-TM55-LW is a load wheel kit only and includes only the front wheels that carry the load. GWK-TM55-CK is a complete kit that includes both load wheels and steer wheels. Choose GWK-TM55-LW if your steer wheels are still functional. Choose GWK-TM55-CK if you need to replace the entire wheel assembly.
Q: Will this load wheel kit fit under my jack if the steer wheel setup is different?
A: GWK-TM55-LW is engineered specifically for Multiton TM 55 and accounts for the standard steer wheel height and axle spacing on that model. If you have modified steer wheels or a non-standard configuration, verify axle diameter and wheel cavity dimensions before installation to avoid fitment problems.
Q: What symptoms indicate I need to replace the load wheels?
A: Replace load wheels when you observe flat spots, cracks, chunking, or heavy wear patterns that reduce wheel diameter by more than 1/8 inch. Listen for grinding or clicking from the bearings, or if the jack pulls to one side during operation. Excessive wear reduces load capacity and can damage your hydraulic pump.
Q: Do I need sealed precision bearings?
A: GWK-TM55-LW includes sealed precision ball bearings. Sealed bearings keep contaminants out and require less maintenance than open bearings, which is important in warehouse environments with dust and moisture. Do not apply additional grease to sealed bearings, as this can cause overheating and bearing failure.
Q: Can I install GWK-TM55-LW on a different Multiton model?
A: No, GWK-TM55-LW is designed for Multiton TM 55 only. Other Multiton models have different axle diameters, wheel cavity widths, and axle spacing. Installing this kit on an incompatible model will cause misalignment, accelerated wear, and potential jack failure. Always verify model compatibility before purchase.
