Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does GWK-112-LW fit, and is it compatible with non-Raymond electric pallet trucks?
A: GWK-112-LW is engineered for Raymond Model 112 Electric Pallet Trucks. Cross-fitting to Yale, Crown, Toyota, or Uline electric pallet trucks is not recommended without verifying wheel bore diameter, axle length, and voltage compatibility. Each manufacturer uses different drive motor configurations and wheel mounting standards. Order the correct SKU for your specific brand and model to ensure safe operation and warranty coverage.
Q: Why does GWK-112-LW use sealed ball bearings instead of open-style bearings?
A: Sealed ball bearings prevent water, dust, and debris from entering the bearing cavity, reducing rust and friction loss. In warehouse environments with floor washing, rain exposure, or outdoor use, sealed bearings extend wheel life and reduce noise. Open bearings require more frequent re-lubrication and fail faster in damp conditions. GWK-112-LW sealed bearings are maintenance-free and grease-packed for the lifespan of the wheel.
Q: Is GWK-112-LW suitable for non-marking use on polished display floors or carpet?
A: Yes. The 95A durometer polyurethane provides a non-marking, smooth operation on polished concrete, vinyl, carpet, and delicate display floors. The soft polymer surface does not scratch or scuff finishes. This makes GWK-112-LW appropriate for retail, showroom, and healthcare facility operations where floor protection is critical. However, avoid rough outdoor concrete, as soft polyurethane wears faster on abrasive surfaces.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for GWK-112-LW wheels, and will they fit my Raymond 112 truck?
A: GWK-112-LW wheels are rated for the full load capacity of the Raymond Model 112 Electric Pallet Truck, typically 3000 to 4000 pounds depending on load center distance. Do not exceed the truck nameplate maximum. Load capacity is determined by wheel strength, bearing design, and axle specifications. Using undersized or incompatible wheels voids the truck warranty and creates a safety hazard.
Q: How do I install GWK-112-LW wheels, and what tools are required?
A: Installation requires a socket set, jack, and jack stands. Lift the truck safely and support with stands under the frame (never under the pump). Remove axle retaining nuts using a socket, slide the old wheel assembly off the axle, clean the axle shaft, insert the new GWK-112-LW wheel assembly, reinstall the retaining nut, and tighten firmly but do not over-tighten. Spin the wheel to confirm free rotation. Estimated time: 20 minutes. No electrical work is required, as wheels are purely mechanical components.
