Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the GW 326 wheel assembly?
A: The GW 326 is equivalent to GW326, GP 326, and GP326. All part numbers reference the same industrial-grade nylon steer wheel assembly with 8 inch diameter and 20mm bearing ID. Always verify your exact equipment model when ordering to ensure fitment with your manual pallet jack configuration.
Q: Can the GW 326 be used as a direct replacement on all manual pallet jack models?
A: The GW 326 is designed as an OEM replacement for rear steering positions on manual pallet jacks. However, verify your jack model and serial range before installation. The 8 x 2 inch wheel size with 20mm bearing ID must match your original assembly. If your jack requires a different bearing ID or wheel diameter, this assembly will not fit without modification.
Q: What bearing type is used in the GW 326 wheel assembly?
A: The GW 326 uses hardened steel bearing races with precision sealing. The bearing ID is 20mm (0.787 inch bore). The assembly includes sealed ball bearings that provide smooth rotation and load support. Do not attempt to reuse old bearings when installing a new wheel assembly, as worn races will cause premature wear and noise.
Q: How do you diagnose if the GW 326 wheel needs replacement?
A: Check for these symptoms: grinding or squeaking noise when the jack steers, visibly cracked or split nylon wheel, flat spots on the wheel surface, or play or wobbling at the wheel axle point. Spin the wheel by hand and listen for grinding sounds inside the bearing. If bearings are damaged, replace the entire assembly. Do not attempt bearing-only replacement on this assembly.
Q: What is the installation procedure for the GW 326 wheel assembly?
A: Remove the jack from service and secure it on a flat surface. Remove the axle bolt or retaining clip holding the old wheel in place. Slide off the old wheel assembly. Align the new GW 326 assembly onto the axle and ensure the 20mm bearing ID slides smoothly onto the axle shaft. Reinstall the axle bolt or clip and tighten securely. Spin the wheel freely to confirm smooth operation before placing the jack back into service.
Q: What load capacity and operating limits apply to the GW 326?
A: The GW 326 is rated for industrial warehouse use on standard manual pallet jack configurations. Maximum wheel diameter is 8 inches and width is 2 inches. The industrial-grade nylon material is rated for typical pallet jack loads when used in rear steer positions. Do not exceed the load rating of your complete pallet jack unit. Maintain wheel pressure (if pneumatic) per manufacturer specifications; use only solid wheels if polyurethane conversion is required.
