Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GWK-EW80-LW compatible with Baker EW60 pallet jacks?
A: No. The GWK-EW80-LW is designed exclusively for Baker EW80 pallet jacks. Although EW60 and EW80 are similar in design, wheel assemblies differ due to load capacity and mounting geometry variations. Attempting to fit EW80 wheels on an EW60 will result in improper contact, unsafe operation, and potential damage. Always confirm your equipment model before ordering replacement wheels.
Q: What is the hardness rating of the Durarun 95A Poly wheels on the GWK-EW80-LW?
A: The GWK-EW80-LW features Durarun polyurethane load wheels with a 95A durometer hardness rating. This formulation provides excellent wear resistance, quiet operation, and minimal floor marking on warehouse, display, and carpeted surfaces. The 95A specification is slightly softer than 97A options, offering improved shock absorption while maintaining professional floor protection.
Q: What surfaces are recommended for the GWK-EW80-LW wheels?
A: The GWK-EW80-LW wheels are engineered for use on concrete, epoxy-coated floors, warehouse surfaces, display floors, and carpeting. The 95A durometer hardness provides good performance across diverse flooring types while minimizing floor damage and noise. For specialty surfaces like tile or marble, verify wheel compatibility with your facility manager to prevent damage or equipment instability.
Q: Does the GWK-EW80-LW include all installation components?
A: Yes. The GWK-EW80-LW is a complete wheel kit that includes two Durarun 95A Poly Load Wheel Assemblies with axles, precision sealed bearings, and all fasteners. This is a ready-to-install replacement. No additional components must be sourced. Follow Baker installation procedures for proper axle torque and wheel alignment specifications.
Q: Why is the GWK-EW80-LW noted for quiet operation?
A: The 95A durometer polyurethane compound absorbs vibration and impact energy better than higher durometer wheels, resulting in quieter operation. This is especially noticeable on hard flooring and in environments where operator comfort and noise control are important. The trade-off is slightly lower floor protection compared to 97A or higher durometer options, but the noise reduction is significant for warehouse environments.
Q: Are the sealed bearings in the GWK-EW80-LW maintainable or replaceable?
A: The bearings are sealed, pre-lubricated, and not maintainable. Do not attempt to open or re-lubricate them. If wheel rotation becomes difficult or you hear grinding sounds, the bearing assembly has failed and the entire wheel unit must be replaced. Replacement bearing assemblies are not sold separately. Replace wheels in pairs to maintain balanced operation and even weight distribution across the load.
