Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GW 310 and GW 311 steering wheels?
A: Both GW 310 and GW 311 are 8 x 2 nylon steering wheels with 25mm bearings. The primary difference is material or coating specification. GW 310 specifies AISI 52100 hardened steel bearings with glass-reinforced nylon. GW 311 emphasizes lightweight design and high-strength nylon for general carts and equipment. Consult your specific pallet jack manual to determine which is OEM approved for your model.
Q: Is the GW 311 compatible with narrow-aisle pallet jacks?
A: GW 311 is 2 inches wide, which is standard for steering wheels on full-size jacks. Narrow-aisle jacks often use narrower steering wheels (1.5 to 1.75 inches) for tight space maneuverability. Check your jack model specs against the 2 inch width. If your jack requires a narrower wheel, GW 311 will create steering bind and excessive wear. Always match the OEM wheel width specification.
Q: What temperature range can GW 311 nylon wheels operate in?
A: High-strength nylon used in GW 311 typically operates in a range of 20 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. At extreme cold, nylon becomes brittle. At extreme heat, it softens. Cold storage (freezer) use may require specialized wheels. Outdoor storage or operation in hot climates reduces wheel life. If your operation involves temperature extremes, verify GW 311 compatibility with your application environment.
Q: How do I diagnose steering issues or uneven wear on GW 311 wheels?
A: If steering is notchy or resistant, check for debris wrapped around the axle or wheel. Examine the wheel for flat spots or cracks. If both wheels wear unevenly, floor surface may be uneven or operator technique needs adjustment. Rotate wheels to different positions to confirm wear pattern. If one wheel is significantly worn compared to the other, bearing failure is likely. Replace the failed wheel assembly.
Q: What is the bearing ID for GW 311 and what axle shaft size do I need?
A: GW 311 has a 25mm bearing ID (0.984 inch bore). Your jack steering axle must be 25mm in diameter for correct fitment. If your existing wheel is different, measure the axle shaft before ordering. Do not force a wheel onto a mismatched axle. Incorrect bearing ID causes wobble, accelerated wear, and safety hazards.
Q: Can GW 311 wheels be used across different brands of pallet jacks?
A: GW 311 fits any manual pallet jack with 8 x 2 steering wheel specification and 25mm bearing ID. Many brands (Yale, Hyster, Toyota, Nichiyu) use standard steering wheel dimensions. Cross-brand compatibility exists if dimensions match exactly. Verify your jack brand and model against the 8 inch diameter, 2 inch width, and 25mm bore before ordering to ensure fitment.
