Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What wheel size are the GWK-272748-LW assemblies?
A: The GWK-272748-LW load wheels measure 3 inches by 3-3/8 inches. This size is specific to the Wesco 272748 manual pallet jack. Do not interchange with other wheel kit sizes.
Q: What is the Shore durometer rating for the GWK-272748-LW wheels?
A: The wheels are rated at 70D Shore durometer. This hardness level means the polyurethane is durable, rolls with low resistance, does not mark floors, and resists cuts and cracks better than softer wheel compounds.
Q: How is the wheel tread attached to the core?
A: The GWK-272748-LW wheels use molded polyurethane construction where the tread is bonded to a steel core. This method provides excellent longevity. The wheels are non-marking, making them safe for polished and sensitive floor surfaces.
Q: Will the GWK-272748-LW wheels work on a Wesco 272746 jack?
A: No. The 272748 and 272746 wheels are not interchangeable. Each model has different wheel specifications and axle configurations. Always verify your jack model number before ordering replacement wheels.
Q: What diagnostic steps indicate the wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels if you observe tread wear exposing the core, flat spots from sitting idle, visible cracks, squeaking or grinding noises, or if the jack pulls to one side. Worn wheels increase operator fatigue and risk floor damage.
Q: Is lubrication required for the GWK-272748-LW bearings?
A: Check if your assembly uses sealed bearings or open bearings. Sealed bearings require no maintenance. Open bearings should be greased every six months with light machine grease. Over-greasing attracts dirt and reduces wheel performance.
