Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-6HBW20-LW and GWK-6HBW20-LW-XL?
A: The GWK-6HBW20-LW-XL uses 97A polyurethane versus 95A in the standard version. The 97A material is harder and more durable, offering increased wear resistance and a longer service life in high-traffic applications. Both fit Toyota 6HBW20 jacks, but the XL variant is recommended for operations exceeding 40 cycles per hour.
Q: Are the GWK-6HBW20-LW-XL wheels oil and chemical resistant?
A: Yes. The premium 97A polyurethane formulation resists exposure to oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, and mild chemical spills common in warehouses and manufacturing floors. However, prolonged contact with aggressive solvents or brake fluid can degrade the material. Clean wheels promptly if exposed to harsh chemicals.
Q: Can I upgrade from GWK-6HBW20-LW to GWK-6HBW20-LW-XL on my existing jack?
A: Yes. The XL kit uses the same axle and hub interface as the standard kit. Installation is identical. However, verify that your jack axles are in good condition and that retaining nuts thread smoothly. If you notice axle wobble or rust, replace the axles before installing the XL wheels to ensure proper performance.
Q: What load capacity should I expect from the 97A polyurethane wheels?
A: The 97A wheels are rated for the same fork capacity as your Toyota 6HBW20 jack, typically 5000 to 6000 lbs. The harder durometer increases load distribution efficiency and reduces deflection under heavy pallets. Do not exceed the maximum capacity listed on your equipment nameplate.
Q: Will the GWK-6HBW20-LW-XL wheels damage display floors?
A: No. While 97A polyurethane is harder than 95A, it is still non-marking and floor-safe. The XL variant produces slightly more noise due to increased hardness, but floor contact pressure remains low. These wheels are approved for retail display floors, showrooms, and sealed concrete environments.
