Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does GWK-EPJ60R-LW-XL compare to the standard GWK-EPJ60R-LW kit?
A: The XL version features 97A Shore durometer polyurethane wheels versus 95A in the standard kit. The 97A wheels are harder, non-marking, resist wear 25 to 30 percent longer, and perform better in heavy-traffic warehouse environments. Choose XL for industrial use and standard for lighter-duty or retail settings.
Q: Are the wheels truly non-marking on all floor types?
A: The 97A wheels are non-marking on standard concrete and sealed floors. On highly polished epoxy or vinyl floors, some light marking may occur under heavy loads or extended use. Test in a small area if your facility has specialty flooring. Light surface cleaning typically removes any marks.
Q: What is the pressed steel core and how does it differ from machined cores?
A: The core is pressed steel, which is more cost-effective than machined steel while maintaining adequate strength for EPJ60R loads. Pressed steel cores support the same rated capacity and perform identically in operation. The polyurethane bonded over the core provides the wear surface and durability.
Q: Can I use the XL kit on an older EPJ60R truck or only current models?
A: GWK-EPJ60R-LW-XL is designed for standard EPJ60R trucks across model years. Older trucks with original 4-bolt or 5-bolt axle configurations may require verification. Check your truck nameplate, serial number range, and axle bore diameter. Contact the manufacturer if your truck is more than 15 years old.
Q: What maintenance is required after installation?
A: No routine maintenance is required. Inspect wheels monthly for cracks, flat spots, or debris embedded in the polyurethane. Keep the wheel wells clean of dirt and debris. Replace wheels if polyurethane separates from the core or if bearing noise develops.
Q: What is the expected service life for 97A wheels in high-traffic operations?
A: With heavy daily use (50 to 80 truck cycles per day), 97A wheels typically last 3 to 4 years before requiring replacement. Lifespan depends on load, floor conditions, and maintenance. Light use extends lifespan to 4 to 5 years. Monitor wear regularly and replace when flat spots or cracks appear.
