Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is GWK-GPW-LW-XL different from the standard GWK-GPW-LW model?
A: Both kits fit Crown GPW series jacks, but GWK-GPW-LW-XL is engineered for heavy-duty service and includes aluminum wheel cores (ASTM B221 grade) instead of polymer composite. The XL designation indicates enhanced load capacity and durability for demanding lift truck applications with higher cycle rates.
Q: What is the wheel core material and shore durometer of GWK-GPW-LW-XL?
A: GWK-GPW-LW-XL features an aluminum wheel core (ASTM B221 specification) with polyurethane tread rated 95A Shore durometer. Aluminum cores are lighter and provide superior strength-to-weight ratio, reducing stress on bearings and axles during continuous operation.
Q: Does GWK-GPW-LW-XL mounting hole pattern differ from standard GPW wheel kits?
A: GWK-GPW-LW-XL uses a single center bore mounting hole pattern of 0.750 inch. Before ordering, verify that your Crown GPW jack frame supports this bore size. Incorrect bore diameter will result in installation failure.
Q: What components are included with GWK-GPW-LW-XL and do I need additional hardware?
A: GWK-GPW-LW-XL includes poly 95A load wheel assemblies with precision sealed bearings, steel axles, string guards, and Grade 8 fasteners. All hardware necessary for installation is provided. No additional components are required.
Q: Can GWK-GPW-LW-XL be retrofit onto a Crown GPW jack currently running standard wheels?
A: Yes. GWK-GPW-LW-XL is a direct retrofit for Crown GPW series jacks. However, confirm that the mounting bore is 0.750 inch and that your jack frame is rated for heavy-duty service. If your GPW is a light-duty model, the standard GWK-GPW-LW kit may be more appropriate.
Q: What is the expected service interval for GWK-GPW-LW-XL in high-cycle warehouse environments?
A: Service life depends on duty cycle, load consistency, and floor conditions. In continuous high-cycle use (200+ cycles per day), inspect wheels every 6 months for tread wear and bearing noise. The aluminum core and sealed bearings of GWK-GPW-LW-XL typically extend service life compared to standard poly wheels. Replace when tread wear is visible or bearing noise develops.
