Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does the GWK-MSL-LW wheel kit fit?
A: The GWK-MSL-LW is specified for Atlas Model MSL-27x48 high-lift skid trucks. Alternate model designations are MSL27x48 and MSL 27x48. Always verify your jack nameplate matches one of these designations before ordering. Fitting to other Atlas models or brands will result in incompatibility.
Q: What wheel material is included in the GWK-MSL-LW kit, and how does it perform?
A: The GWK-MSL-LW contains two UltraPoly 70D polyurethane wheels. The 70D durometer rating provides moderate hardness and good abrasion resistance for standard warehouse flooring. UltraPoly 70D is suitable for smooth concrete and sealed floors but will wear faster on rough surfaces compared to harder compounds.
Q: Does the GWK-MSL-LW kit include bearings, axles, and fasteners, or just the wheels?
A: The GWK-MSL-LW is a complete wheel kit that includes two polyurethane wheels, pre-installed bearings, steel axles, and all fasteners required for installation. No additional components are needed for a full wheel assembly replacement.
Q: What symptoms indicate the GWK-MSL-LW wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels if you observe flat spots, visible chunks missing from the tread, uneven wear patterns, or if the jack pulls to one side when being pushed. Also replace if wheels emit a squeaking noise that does not stop after lubrication, or if the jack becomes difficult to maneuver on flat flooring.
Q: Are there equivalent wheel kits from other manufacturers that fit the Atlas MSL-27x48?
A: Equivalent options may exist from generic wheel kit suppliers, but cross-compatibility with Atlas-specified parts is not guaranteed. GWK-MSL-LW is the OEM-equivalent specification for this model. If you substitute aftermarket kits, verify dimensions match: wheel diameter, width, axle bore, and bolt pattern must be identical.
Q: What is the expected service life of the UltraPoly 70D wheels on the GWK-MSL-LW?
A: UltraPoly 70D wheels typically provide 12 to 24 months of service in standard warehouse conditions (smooth concrete, 8-hour daily operation). Heavy use on rough surfaces or outdoor applications will reduce lifespan. Inspect wheels every 6 months and replace when tread depth is less than 0.25 inch.
