Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing bore size for the GW 325?
A: The GW 325 has a bearing ID (inner diameter) of 20mm (0.787 inch). The bore outside diameter is also specified as 20.000mm. Verify your axle matches exactly 20mm before installation. Incorrect bore sizing causes improper wheel seating, lateral play, or binding that reduces maneuverability.
Q: Is the GW 325 better for maneuverability than larger wheels?
A: The GW 325 at 7 x 2 (177.80mm x 50.80mm) is lighter and more responsive than 8-inch wheels, making it suitable for confined spaces and frequent directional changes. However, larger wheels provide better floor clearance and reduced rolling effort with heavy loads. Choose GW 325 for light- to medium-duty applications requiring tight turning radius.
Q: What nylon material is used in the GW 325?
A: The GW 325 is constructed from durable nylon polymer. Exact polymer grade (virgin, recycled, or reinforced) is not specified. For performance differences, confirm material specifications with the supplier. Virgin nylon offers superior wear resistance; recycled nylon reduces cost but has shorter lifespan.
Q: What are typical wear indicators for the GW 325?
A: Replace the GW 325 when: visible tread wear flattens the wheel surface, diameter reduces 0.5 inches or more from original, flat spots appear from skidding, bearing produces grinding or squeaking noise, or lateral play develops when rocking the wheel by hand on the axle. Normal nylon wheels require replacement every 12 to 24 months in continuous warehouse use.
Q: Can the GW 325 wheel be used on jacks rated for higher loads?
A: The GW 325 is not recommended for heavy-duty pallet jacks rated above 2200 lbs. Using undersized wheels on over-capacity equipment risks premature bearing failure, wheel deformation, and loss of load control. Install wheels matching your equipment manufacturer specifications or consult documentation before substituting wheel sizes.
Q: How should the GW 325 be stored to maintain bearing integrity?
A: Store wheels in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight or moisture. Nylon can warp under extreme heat or cold. Do not stack heavy objects on stored wheels as this can indent or deform the bearing bore. Keep wheels clean and free from corrosive chemicals or oils that degrade nylon over time.
