Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the GW 331 and GW 330 steer wheels?
A: The GW 331 is 8 inches in diameter versus the GW 330 at 7 inches. Both share a 20mm bearing bore and 2 inch width. The larger diameter of the GW 331 provides slightly lower rolling resistance and better clearance over floor imperfections. Check your jack frame for adequate wheel well clearance before switching sizes.
Q: Are the sealed bearings on the GW 331 replaceable or is it a complete assembly only?
A: The GW 331 comes with sealed deep groove ball bearings pre-installed. If bearings fail, you can remove and replace them individually if you have the proper bearing puller and installation tools. For field technicians without bearing tools, it is often more practical to replace the entire wheel assembly to ensure proper bearing installation and preload.
Q: Can I use the GW 331 as a replacement on equipment originally fitted with a different 8 inch wheel?
A: The GW 331 will fit any steering axle with a 20mm bearing bore and standard 2 inch width. However, verify compatibility with your equipment manual first. Cross-reference your OEM wheel part number to confirm bearing bore, overall diameter, and width match the GW 331 specifications.
Q: What maintenance does the GW 331 require to extend its lifespan?
A: The sealed bearings require minimal maintenance. Keep the wheel tread clean and free of debris every shift. Inspect visually for cracks in the nylon polymer every month. Spin the wheel by hand monthly to check for roughness or binding that indicates bearing wear. Do not apply lubricant to sealed bearings as it attracts dirt.
Q: Will the GW 331 fit my pallet jack if the original had an 8x3 wheel instead of 8x2?
A: No. The GW 331 is specifically 8x2 inches. A 3 inch width wheel requires a different axle spacing and will not fit the GW 331 location. Measure your current wheel width and bearing center distance before ordering. Using an incorrect width can cause binding or misalignment.
