Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the GW 310 nylon wheel better for manual pallet jacks than polyurethane load wheels?
A: GW 310 is a steering wheel designed for directional control on manual jacks. The 8 inch diameter and 2 inch width provide better maneuverability than smaller load wheels. Glass-reinforced nylon (30 percent glass fiber) is stiffer and more durable than standard nylon, resisting deformation when steering forces are applied. Load wheels like GW 248 are not designed for steering duty and will wear unevenly.
Q: Are the double-sealed bearings in the GW 310 serviceable or sealed for life?
A: GW 310 bearings are double-sealed for life. The AISI 52100 hardened steel bearings cannot be repacked. Seals prevent debris ingress and keep grease in. If a wheel rotates rough or makes noise, the bearing is failing and the entire wheel assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to remove seals or relubricate.
Q: Can I use GW 310 nylon steering wheels on an electric powered pallet jack?
A: No. GW 310 is designed for manual pallet jack steering duty only. Electric jacks have different weight distributions and speeds that require wheels engineered for powered operation. Using GW 310 on electric equipment will cause premature failure and steering instability. Always use wheels specified for your equipment type and power source.
Q: What floor surfaces should I avoid using GW 310 wheels on?
A: GW 310 nylon wheels work best on smooth concrete and polished floors. Rough, cracked, or outdoor concrete will accelerate wear. Avoid gravel, dirt, and uneven surfaces where debris can embed in the nylon. Wet floors are acceptable but extended exposure to standing water can affect bearing seals. Choose the smoothest warehouse surface available for maximum wheel life.
Q: How long do GW 310 wheels typically last in a normal warehouse operation?
A: Under normal use (6 to 8 hours daily, smooth floors), GW 310 steering wheels last 24 to 36 months. Heavy use or rough surfaces reduce lifespan to 18 to 24 months. Proper inflation (if pneumatic) or wheel cleaning extends life. Monitor for flat spots or uneven wear. When steering becomes notchy or wheels track sideways, replacement is due.
Q: What is the bearing ID for the GW 310 and is it the same as load wheels?
A: GW 310 has a 25mm bearing ID (0.984 inch bore). This is a standard steering wheel size. Load wheels like GW 248 may use different bearing IDs (GW 248 uses 27mm). Do not mix steering and load wheels on the same jack. Verify your current wheels against OEM documentation. Steering wheels require a different axle configuration than load wheels.
