Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GW 312 equivalent to the GP 312 or GP312?
A: Yes, the GW 312 is equivalent to GP 312 and GP312. All three part numbers reference the same 7-inch nylon steer wheel with 20mm bearing bore. Cross-reference part numbers can be used interchangeably in manual pallet jack applications.
Q: What bearing size does the GW 312 steering wheel require?
A: The GW 312 requires a 20mm bore bearing (0.787 inch ID). This is the standard bearing size for manual pallet jack steering axles. Verify your axle diameter is 20mm before installation. Using an incorrect bearing size will cause wobble and premature wear.
Q: Can the GW 312 be used as a load wheel or only as a steer wheel?
A: The GW 312 is designed for steering applications only. The glass-filled nylon construction provides lateral stability but not the load-bearing durability needed for main load wheels. Use load wheel assemblies for the drive wheels on your pallet jack.
Q: What is the diameter and width of the GW 312 wheel?
A: The GW 312 is 7.000 inches in diameter by 2.000 inches in width (7.0 x 2.0, or 177.80mm x 50.80mm). This standard size fits most manual pallet jack steering brackets. Measure your steering axle assembly before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: Does the glass-filled nylon of the GW 312 require special maintenance?
A: Glass-filled nylon is low-maintenance. Periodically inspect for cracks or chips from hard impacts. Clean debris from the wheel bore and bearing area. Lubricate bearings per your pallet jack manual. Do not use high-pressure spray washers directly on the nylon core, as water can seep into bearing cavities.
Q: What weight limits apply to pallet jacks using GW 312 steering wheels?
A: The GW 312 steering wheel itself does not carry load; it only provides steering control. Weight limits depend on the load wheels, forks, and frame design. Refer to your pallet jack manufacturer label or manual for rated capacity. Exceeding capacity stresses all wheels and may cause steering failure.
