Product Description
This load wheel kit includes two nylon load roller assemblies, complete with bearings, axles, and fasteners for straightforward installation. Constructed from high-quality materials, these assemblies resist rust and corrosion while providing non-marking performance to protect floors and surfaces. With a 70D durometer scale, this kit outlasts traditional polyurethane options, enhancing efficiency and longevity in both warehouse and freezer applications.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Uline, model 114. SKU: GWK-2186-LW

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-2186-LW compatible with pallet jacks other than Uline H-2186?
A: GWK-2186-LW is designed specifically for Uline H-2186 manual pallet jacks. Before installing on other models, verify the wheel diameter, bore size, and axle configuration match your equipment. Cross-reference your pallet jack model number and serial range before purchase to avoid incompatibility issues.
Q: What is the difference between nylon 70D wheels and polyurethane load wheels?
A: Nylon wheels on the GWK-2186-LW resist rust and corrosion better than polyurethane, making them ideal for freezer and wet environments. However, nylon is harder and less forgiving on delicate floors. Polyurethane wheels (like GWK-2507-LW or GWK-2708-LW) provide better floor protection and quieter operation but do not perform as well in corrosive conditions.
Q: How do you install GWK-2186-LW load wheels on an H-2186 pallet jack?
A: Remove the existing wheel assemblies by unbolting the fasteners from the axle. Slide out the old wheel and bearing assembly. Install the new nylon wheel assembly from the GWK-2186-LW kit onto the axle, aligning the bearing seat. Thread fasteners by hand first, then tighten securely with a wrench. Do not over-tighten, as this can bind the wheel. Check that wheels spin freely before returning the jack to service.
Q: What load rating should I expect from GWK-2186-LW wheels?
A: GWK-2186-LW is rated for the full capacity of the Uline H-2186 pallet jack, typically 5500 pounds total. The 70D Shore Durometer nylon wheels are designed to handle standard warehouse duty cycles. Do not exceed the jack is rated load capacity, as wheel failure or bearing damage can result.
Q: How long do nylon 70D wheels from GWK-2186-LW typically last?
A: Nylon 70D wheels typically outlast traditional polyurethane options by 30 to 50 percent when used in moderate warehouse conditions. Lifespan depends on floor surface, load weight, and usage frequency. Inspect wheels monthly for flat spots, cracks, or bearing play. Replace when wheels show visible wear or the jack becomes difficult to steer.
Q: Do GWK-2186-LW wheels leave marks on polished concrete or epoxy floors?
A: The nylon wheels in GWK-2186-LW are non-marking and do not leave scuffs or stains on polished concrete or epoxy-coated floors under normal use. However, prolonged stationary pressure from a fully loaded jack may cause temporary discoloration that typically fades. For sensitive floor environments, polyurethane wheels may offer additional protection.
