Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the GWK-EP55II-CK complete wheel kit?
A: The GWK-EP55II-CK includes two ultra-poly 70D load wheel assemblies and two poly steer wheel assemblies. Both sets come complete with bearings, axles, and fasteners ready for installation. This is a full replacement kit for EP model EP55II manual pallet jacks.
Q: Can I use the GWK-EP55II-CK on pallet jacks from other manufacturers?
A: No. The GWK-EP55II-CK is designed specifically for EP brand pallet jacks, model EP55II only. Do not attempt to force fit this kit onto other brands or models as the axle diameters and mounting holes are manufacturer-specific. Verify your jack model before ordering.
Q: How do I know if the wheels on my EP55II are worn and need replacement?
A: Replace wheels when you observe: flat spotting or visible flattening on the wheel face, deep cracks or chunks missing from the tread, loss of handling responsiveness requiring excessive steering force, or squeaking and grinding noises during operation. These symptoms indicate bearing or wheel degradation requiring the full kit replacement.
Q: What is the difference between the 70D load wheels and 92A steer wheels in this kit?
A: The 70D ultra-poly load wheels are softer and designed to absorb shock and impact during heavy lifting, providing durability under sustained weight. The 92A steer wheels are harder for directional control and reduced rolling resistance. Both are non-marking and designed to protect display floors and sealed concrete surfaces.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install the GWK-EP55II-CK wheels?
A: Basic hand tools are required: adjustable wrench or socket set for axle fasteners, snap ring pliers to remove and reinstall the wheel assemblies, and a rubber mallet to seat the wheels on the axles. Do not use power tools as they can strip fasteners. Allow 1 to 2 hours per set of wheels for replacement.
Q: How long do the wheels in this kit typically last?
A: In typical warehouse use with regular maintenance, the GWK-EP55II-CK wheels last 18 to 24 months. Heavy daily use, exposure to oils, or rough surfaces will shorten lifespan. Monthly bearing lubrication and inspection for cracks will extend performance. Replace immediately if wheels show flat spots or loss of roundness affecting jack stability.
