Product Description
This load wheel kit includes two Ultra-Poly (70D) load wheel assemblies, complete with bearings, axles, and fasteners. Crafted from high-quality materials, it offers durability and performance for various surfaces, ensuring non-marking operation and excellent traction. The 70D durometer polyurethane provides greater hardness and longevity than standard 92A, making it suitable for tough industrial environments without the risk of shattering like nylon.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Dayton, model 3W094. SKU: GWK-3W094B-LW
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the durometer rating of the GWK-3W094B-LW wheels and why does it matter?
A: The GWK-3W094B-LW uses 70D durometer ultra-polyurethane, which is significantly harder than standard 92A polyurethane. The 70D rating makes these wheels resistant to shattering under heavy industrial use, provides longer service life, and maintains traction on rough concrete and warehouse surfaces. Do not confuse 70D with nylon wheels, which are brittle and prone to chipping. 70D ultra-poly is the sweet spot for heavy-duty applications.
Q: Will GWK-3W094B-LW wheels mark or damage my facility floors?
A: No. These wheels feature non-marking ultra-polyurethane construction, which means they will not leave black marks or stains on polished concrete, tile, or sealed floors. Non-marking performance depends on proper installation with the wheel hub oriented correctly. If you see marks after installation, verify the wheels are seated fully on the axles and that the bearings spin freely without dragging.
Q: What is the load capacity per wheel assembly, and can I mix wheel types?
A: GWK-3W094B-LW includes two load wheel assemblies. Each assembly is rated for the load capacity of your specific pallet jack model. Do not mix different wheel kits or different durometers on the same jack. If you need both load wheels and steer wheels replaced, order the complete kit for your model. Mixing wheel types can cause uneven rolling, steering problems, and void your equipment warranty.
Q: What tools are required to install the GWK-3W094B-LW wheel kit?
A: Installation requires basic hand tools: a wrench set for removing the fasteners holding the old wheels, a socket set if your jack uses socket-head cap screws, and a rubber mallet for pressing wheels onto the axles. The kit includes all fasteners and retention pins. Allow 30 to 45 minutes per wheel assembly. Do not use an impact wrench on the final tightening, as it can over-torque fasteners and crack bearing races.
Q: How do I diagnose if my load wheels need replacement?
A: Replace load wheels if you notice resistance or grinding when rolling the jack freely, flat spots or visible cracks on the wheel tread, excessive play in the wheel when spun by hand, or noise that increases under load. A simple test is to jack the load slightly off the ground and spin the wheel by hand. A failing bearing will feel rough or create a grinding noise. Order GWK-3W094B-LW if your jack model compatibility matches.
