Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing bore size for the GW 316 wheel assembly, and can it be fitted to other jack models?
A: The GW 316 has a 20mm bearing ID (0.787 inch bore). This is a standard bore size used across many manual pallet jacks and hand trucks. However, always verify your axle shaft diameter is 20mm before purchase. If your jack uses a different bore size such as 16mm or 25mm, the GW 316 will not fit without modification.
Q: What are the dimensions of the GW 316, and how do I know if it fits my trolley or cart?
A: The GW 316 is 7.000 inches in diameter by 2.000 inches in width (177.80mm x 50.80mm). If your equipment currently has a 7 x 2 wheel or you are replacing a wheel with those exact dimensions, the GW 316 is a direct replacement. Measure your existing wheel to confirm before ordering. If your wheel is 8 x 2 or 6 x 2, this assembly will not fit.
Q: Is the GW 316 suitable for heavy-load pallet jack applications, or is it designed only for light-duty carts?
A: The GW 316 is a general-purpose nylon steer wheel designed for light to medium-duty applications. It is constructed from durable nylon with precision bearings for smooth operation in carts, trolleys, and wheeled equipment. For pallet jacks carrying loads over 2000 lbs, consider higher-capacity models such as the GW 320, which is rated for up to 5500 lbs.
Q: How do I diagnose if the GW 316 wheel bearing is failing?
A: Signs of bearing failure include rough rotation, wobbling during steering, grinding noise, or resistance to spinning by hand. Lift the equipment and manually spin the wheel. It should rotate freely with minimal friction. If it binds, makes noise, or feels rough, the bearing races are likely damaged and the wheel assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to re-grease sealed bearings.
Q: What tools are required to install the GW 316 wheel assembly on my equipment?
A: Installation requires a wrench or socket set to match your axle fasteners (typically 1/2 inch or M12), a hammer or rubber mallet to drive the wheel onto the axle shaft if needed, and possibly a wheel puller if removing an old wheel. Support the equipment safely before removing the old wheel. Slide the new assembly onto the 20mm axle shaft and secure with the original fasteners. Do not over-tighten fasteners as this can damage the nylon hub.
Q: What is the expected service life of the GW 316, and does it require regular maintenance?
A: The GW 316 typically lasts 2 to 5 years depending on load and frequency of use. The sealed precision bearings require no lubrication or maintenance. Inspect the wheel quarterly for cracks or deformation. If the nylon surface wears flat or the wheel develops a hard-to-steer condition, replacement is needed. Store unused wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation.
