Product Description
This high-quality load wheel kit includes two durable 97A polyurethane load wheel assemblies, complete with axles, bearings, and fasteners, designed for the Jungheinrich EJE120 pallet jack. Engineered for optimal performance, these wheels provide a perfect fit and facilitate easy installation, ensuring reliable operation across various surfaces, including display floors and warehouses.
This load wheel comes with 25mm ID bearings and a wheel width of 4.5 inches. If your EJE120 model pallet jack uses 20mm id bearings and has a 4 inch width, use GWK-ELE35-LW
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Jungheinrich, model EJE120. SKU: GWK-EJE120-LW-XL

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-EJE120-LW and GWK-EJE120-LW-XL?
A: GWK-EJE120-LW-XL uses 97A durometer polyurethane wheels versus 95A in the standard GWK-EJE120-LW. The 97A wheels are slightly harder, providing longer lifespan in extremely high-traffic environments and display floors where aesthetic marking is a concern. Both kits use 25mm ID bearings and 4.5 inch wheel width. Choose XL if your facility moves over 50 pallets per day or operates on polished concrete floors.
Q: Can I install GWK-EJE120-LW-XL on my EJE120 without bearing replacement?
A: No. GWK-EJE120-LW-XL includes new bearings with the assembly. You must remove old bearings and press on the new chrome steel (AISI 52100) bearings supplied in the kit. Reusing old bearings will cause premature failure and loss of load control. If existing bearings are in good condition, you may choose the standard GWK-EJE120-LW kit instead. Always replace bearing sets together as a pair.
Q: Is the wheel core material different from the standard kit and how does it affect durability?
A: GWK-EJE120-LW-XL wheels have a machined carbon steel core versus steel core on standard kits. The carbon steel is denser and more resilient under heavy impact. It resists denting and permanent deformation better than softer cores. This makes XL wheels ideal for warehouses with uneven floors or aggressive loading. The polyurethane is bonded securely to the steel core and will not separate under normal service conditions.
Q: How long will 97A wheels last compared to 95A wheels?
A: 97A durometer wheels typically last 30 to 50 percent longer than 95A wheels in high-traffic use because they resist compressive wear better. In moderate warehouse use (20 to 30 pallets per day), expect 5 to 9 years from 97A wheels versus 4 to 7 years from 95A wheels. Lifespan also depends on load weight, floor surface, and maintenance. Harder wheels require more lubrication to prevent bearing stress, so increase greasing frequency to every 400 hours.
Q: What tools and what are the installation steps for GWK-EJE120-LW-XL?
A: You will need a socket set, two-jaw or three-jaw bearing puller, press or bearing installation tool, mallet, and torque wrench. Steps: (1) Remove cotter pins and axle fasteners. (2) Slide off old wheels. (3) Use puller to remove old bearings from axle. (4) Clean axle thoroughly with solvent. (5) Press new bearing on axle until it seats. (6) Apply thin coat of lithium grease to bearing and wheel bore. (7) Press new wheel on until it stops. (8) Reinstall fasteners, torque to 25 to 30 foot-pounds. (9) Reinstall cotter pins. Total time: 90 to 120 minutes for both wheel assemblies.
