Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GWK-EZ-LW load wheel kit compatible with all manual pallet jacks?
A: The GWK-EZ-LW is engineered as a direct replacement for Atlas and equivalent EZ series manual pallet jacks. It is not compatible with electric jacks, pump jacks, or non-EZ manual models. Verify your equipment is EZ series and check the manufacturer nameplate. Using this kit on incompatible equipment will result in misalignment or unsafe operation.
Q: What are the load wheel dimensions for the GWK-EZ-LW kit?
A: Each load wheel assembly measures 2.75 inches diameter by 3.75 inches width. These dimensions are fixed and matched to EZ series geometry. Do not attempt to use oversized or undersized wheels as they will not fit mounting points or clear fork channels. Verify dimensions match your equipment specification before installation.
Q: What does the 70D durometer Ultra-Polyurethane compound offer compared to standard wheels?
A: 70 Shore D hardness is a high-durometer specification indicating excellent wear resistance and reduced rolling resistance. Ultra-polyurethane compound provides enhanced abrasion resistance on rough concrete, metal shavings, and industrial floors without compromising grip. The material does not harden excessively in cold storage and maintains traction across temperature ranges—superior to standard rubber or softer compounds.
Q: Are the GWK-EZ-LW bearings sealed and maintenance-free?
A: Yes. The kit includes integrated sealed precision ball bearings requiring no periodic greasing or lubrication. They are maintenance-free under normal warehouse operation. If you observe play, grinding sounds, or rough rotation, the bearing is damaged and the entire wheel assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to disassemble, repack, or service individual bearings—they are sealed units.
Q: What tools and safety precautions do I need to install the GWK-EZ-LW kit?
A: You will need a wrench or socket set for the threaded locking fasteners, a suitable jack or lift stand to raise the pallet jack, and possibly a wheel puller for stubborn wheels. Always secure the jack frame before removing wheels to prevent tipping. Verify the lift is rated for the pallet jack weight. After installation, manually spin each wheel to confirm smooth rotation and no axle play before resuming normal operation.
Q: How long do the GWK-EZ-LW wheels typically last?
A: Lifespan ranges from 18 to 36 months depending on load weight, surface type, and operational frequency. Heavy use on rough concrete or debris-laden warehouse floors will reduce lifespan. Inspect wheels monthly under heavy use for flat spots, cracks, or uneven wear. Replace immediately if maneuverability decreases or you hear grinding noise. Delayed replacement risks jack failure and operator safety.
