Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-8HBW30-LW the same as GWK-8HBW23-LW-XL?
A: GWK-8HBW30-LW is the older part number. GWK-8HBW23-LW-XL supersedes it. The main difference is polyurethane durometer: GWK-8HBW30-LW uses 95A, while GWK-8HBW23-LW-XL uses 97A. Both fit the same jack. If sourcing today, order GWK-8HBW23-LW-XL as the current standard. GWK-8HBW30-LW is still available for existing inventory matching or legacy rebuild projects.
Q: Will 95A wheels mark or stain my polished warehouse floor?
A: No. Both 95A and 97A polyurethane are non-marking. The durometer rating affects hardness and wear rate, not marking behavior. However, if wheels are heavily contaminated with dirt or hydraulic fluid residue, that debris—not the wheel itself—will mark floors. Clean wheels regularly during preventive maintenance.
Q: Can I use this kit with cold storage or freezer units?
A: Polyurethane wheels like this kit become brittle below minus 10 degrees Celsius and will crack or shatter. For cold storage below minus 5 Celsius, use nylon wheels instead. Check your cold storage specification and confirm your facility temperature range before selecting this product. Do not force polyurethane wheels into freezer service.
Q: What maintenance does this wheel kit require?
A: Inspect monthly for debris, dirt, or oil buildup on the tread. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Check axle fasteners quarterly for looseness. Rotate the wheels by hand to confirm smooth bearing operation with no grinding noise. If you hear grinding or feel resistance, the bearing is failing and the entire wheel assembly must be replaced.
Q: Do I need special tools to install this kit?
A: No special tools required. You will need a basic socket set to remove the axle fasteners (typically 3/8 inch or 10 mm depending on jack year). A jack stand or load block to safely raise the pallet jack is mandatory for safety. The replacement procedure takes 15 to 20 minutes per jack.
