Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the wheel size and hardness rating for GWK-MPB040E-LW-XL?
A: GWK-MPB040E-LW-XL features dual wheels measuring 3.25 inches in diameter by 4.50 inches in tread width, cast from 97A durometer polyurethane. This XL-hardness rating provides enhanced abrasion resistance for rough warehouse floors and outdoor concrete compared to standard 95A formulations.
Q: Is GWK-MPB040E-LW-XL compatible with Yale model MPB040E B827 only?
A: Yes, this kit is designed for Yale MPB040E with serial code B827. The axle bore diameter and fastener pattern are specific to this model generation. If your jack was manufactured under a different serial prefix or date code range, verify the axle diameter is 0.625 inches before attempting installation.
Q: What bearings are included in the GWK-MPB040E-LW-XL kit?
A: The kit includes sealed ball bearings precision-matched to the steel axles. Bearing type and size are pre-assembled for direct installation. Do not replace bearings with loose unsealed units, as contamination and premature failure will result. If bearings are damaged during installation, order a replacement bearing kit rather than attempting to source compatible units elsewhere.
Q: How do I know if GWK-MPB040E-LW-XL wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels when tread depth falls below one-quarter inch, visible chunks of polyurethane are missing, the wheel flats at the contact point during rotation, or when the jack becomes difficult to steer. Frozen or seized wheels indicate bearing failure, not wheel wear, and require full kit replacement.
Q: What is the service life expectancy of GWK-MPB040E-LW-XL in continuous warehouse operations?
A: 97A durometer wheels typically last 12 to 20 months with daily use in indoor facilities on smooth concrete. Outdoor use, rough flooring, or frequent obstacle strikes reduce lifespan to 6 to 12 months. Sealed bearings require no maintenance and will outlast wheels under normal operating conditions.
