Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-8HBW30-LW-XL the correct part for my Toyota 8HBW30?
A: Yes, GWK-8HBW30-LW-XL fits Toyota 8HBW30 electric pallet jacks. However, verify that your serial number falls within the compatible range. Consult your unit manual or cross-reference your jack frame plate. If you have an 8HBW23 or early 8HBW25, order GWK-8HBW23-LW-XL instead.
Q: What does the 97A polyurethane durometer mean?
A: 97A is a shore hardness scale that indicates polyurethane durometer. The higher the number, the harder and more wear-resistant the material. 97A is industrial-grade: it resists compression set, provides long service life in heavy-duty warehouse environments, and minimizes tread deformation under load. This wheel is designed for continuous daily service.
Q: Can this kit be used in outdoor or rough-surface environments?
A: Polyurethane wheels are designed for smooth, indoor warehouse floors. Outdoor use on gravel, asphalt, or concrete with sharp aggregate will accelerate wear and may cause tread separation. If outdoor use is required, upgrade to 70D polyurethane or steel wheels. Standard 97A polyurethane is not rated for outdoor yard or dock service.
Q: What is included in the load wheel assembly?
A: The kit includes two complete load wheel assemblies. Each assembly contains the polyurethane tread wheel, a machined steel core with powder coat finish, an axle, sealed bearings, and mounting fasteners. Everything needed for installation is included. No additional bearings, seals, or hardware must be sourced separately.
Q: How do I know when wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels when: tread is visibly flattened or worn thin, steering becomes stiff or notchy, you hear grinding sounds from the wheel area, or wheels develop cracks or chunks missing from the tread. Preventive replacement at 24 to 36 months in heavy use prevents bearing failure and maintains safe steering control.
Q: Will this kit work with non-Toyota electric pallet jacks?
A: No. This kit is designed specifically for Toyota 8HBW30 models. Axle diameter, fastener type, and bearing pocket dimensions must match exactly. Using this kit on a different brand or model jack will result in poor fit, binding, or bearing failure. Always verify OEM compatibility before purchasing.
