Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does the GWK-BS55-LW load wheel kit fit?
A: The GWK-BS55-LW is designed specifically for Bishamon BS-55 manual pallet jacks. Always verify your jack model before ordering, as this kit will not fit other Bishamon models or jacks from different manufacturers.
Q: What is the wheel hardness and material of this kit?
A: This kit includes two Ultra-Poly load wheels with a 70D durometer rating on the Rockwell D hardness scale. The 70D compound provides superior longevity and rolling ease compared to standard 92A polyurethane, making it ideal for various floor surfaces without marking or scuffing.
Q: Does this load wheel kit come with bearings and fasteners?
A: Yes. The GWK-BS55-LW includes two complete load wheel assemblies with high-quality bearings, axles, and all necessary fasteners. Installation requires minimal tools and is straightforward for most technicians.
Q: How do I know when to replace these wheels?
A: Replace load wheels when you notice flat spots, visible wear reducing diameter by more than 1/8 inch, cracking, spalling, or if the jack becomes difficult to push smoothly. Even with the durable 70D compound, wheel life depends on load frequency and floor conditions. Factory or rough floors may require replacement every 12 to 18 months with heavy use.
Q: What surfaces are these wheels suitable for?
A: The 70D Ultra-Poly wheels are non-marking and work well on finished concrete, tile, display floors, and sealed warehouse floors. They do not leave scuff marks and roll smoothly and quietly on clean surfaces. Avoid dragging on uneven or rough concrete, as this accelerates wear.
