Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the load capacity per wheel assembly for the GWK-EPJ40-LW kit?
A: The GWK-EPJ40-LW wheels support the Blue Giant EPJ40 rated capacity of 4,000 pounds per wheel assembly. Do not exceed the published load limit of the complete pallet jack. Overloading causes seal failure in the wheel bearing and accelerates polyurethane tread degradation.
Q: Are the GWK-EPJ40-LW wheels non-marking on sealed concrete and tile?
A: Yes. The GWK-EPJ40-LW wheels feature non-marking properties suitable for smooth or finished floors including tile, epoxy, and sealed concrete. Test the wheels on a small area if using on polished stone or high-gloss surfaces. Dirt or sand trapped in the tread can cause marking regardless of wheel composition.
Q: What type of steel is used in the wheel hub and axle?
A: The GWK-EPJ40-LW features a precision-machined steel hub core and hardened alloy steel axles. The hardened axles resist bending and shearing forces under load. If an axle bends, do not attempt to straighten it; replace the entire wheel assembly as straightening can weaken the material and cause failure during use.
Q: Can I install GWK-EPJ40-LW wheels on models other than the Blue Giant EPJ40?
A: No. The GWK-EPJ40-LW is designed exclusively for Blue Giant model EPJ40. Different lift truck brands and models use varying axle sizes and mounting configurations. Installing these wheels on incompatible equipment will result in improper fitment and unsafe operation. Always match the SKU to your exact equipment model.
Q: What is included in the GWK-EPJ40-LW kit and what tools are needed for installation?
A: The kit includes two durarun 95A poly load wheel assemblies complete with axles, bearings, and fasteners. Installation requires a socket set or adjustable wrench for axle fasteners, snap ring pliers for wheel removal, and a rubber mallet for assembly. Allow 1 to 2 hours per wheel. Do not use power tools as they can strip fasteners.
Q: How do sealed bearings in the GWK-EPJ40-LW wheels differ from grease-fitting bearings?
A: The GWK-EPJ40-LW wheels use sealed ball bearings that require no regular maintenance or lubrication. Sealed bearings contain factory-packed grease and are protected from external contamination. If a sealed bearing fails, the entire wheel assembly must be replaced. Periodic inspection for grinding noises indicates seal failure requiring replacement.
