Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-B80Z-LW-XL and GWK-B80ZHD-LW?
A: GWK-B80Z-LW-XL uses 97A polyurethane wheels and fits the Hyster B 80Z model. GWK-B80ZHD-LW uses 95A Durarun polyurethane and fits the B80ZHD model. The XL designation indicates the higher 97A durometer rating, making it more resistant to heavy loads and wear. Verify your pallet jack model before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: Can I install GWK-B80Z-LW-XL wheels on a Hyster B80ZHD pallet jack?
A: No. GWK-B80Z-LW-XL is engineered specifically for the B 80Z model. Although model designations appear similar, the B80ZHD requires its own compatible kit such as GWK-B80ZHD-LW-XL. Using an incompatible wheel kit will result in improper mounting, uneven load distribution, and potential safety hazards. Always cross-reference your equipment serial number against the compatible model listed on the product documentation.
Q: How do I replace the wheels on GWK-B80Z-LW-XL?
A: This kit includes two complete wheel assemblies with axles, bearings, and fasteners. Remove the existing wheels by unbolting the mounting hardware. Insert new axles through the jack frame and secure bearings and wheels to the axle. Tighten all fasteners to manufacturer specs and verify wheels rotate freely before operating under load. Do not exceed the pallet jacks rated capacity. Wear safety gloves during installation and ensure the jack is fully lowered and secured on a level surface.
Q: What durometer rating is GWK-B80Z-LW-XL and when should I choose a higher rating?
A: GWK-B80Z-LW-XL features 97A durometer polyurethane, which is high-durometer. Choose 97A if you operate frequently in warehouses with rough concrete, handle maximum load capacity continuously, or need extended wheel life. If you operate on smooth display floors or light-duty applications, a lower durometer like 95A provides better traction and quieter operation. Higher durometer wheels are harder and last longer but may show reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Q: What maintenance is required after installing GWK-B80Z-LW-XL wheels?
A: Inspect wheels monthly for cracks, flat spots, or uneven wear patterns. Check that axles are not bent and bearings spin freely without resistance or noise. Tighten all fasteners quarterly, especially after heavy use. Replace wheels if diameter becomes uneven, polyurethane separates from the core, or wheels no longer grip the floor. Do not use lubricants on polyurethane wheel surfaces as they degrade the material and reduce traction.
Q: What is the load capacity with GWK-B80Z-LW-XL wheels installed?
A: Load capacity is determined by your Hyster B 80Z pallet jack frame and hydraulic system, not by the wheels. GWK-B80Z-LW-XL wheels are rated to support the trucks original manufacturer capacity. Do not exceed the jack nameplate limit. The 97A durometer wheels handle sustained heavy loads better than lower ratings and reduce wheel replacement frequency. Verify the jack nameplate for exact load rating, typically 5000 pounds or higher for electric pallet jacks.
