Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does GWK-MPE080E-LW fit only Yale MPE080E or are there equivalent models from other manufacturers?
A: GWK-MPE080E-LW is engineered for Yale A890 Series MPE080E electric pallet jacks. Cross-reference with your current part number if upgrading from an older Yale model. Some aftermarket suppliers offer equivalent wheels under different SKUs, but verify diameter, width, and bearing type before substitution.
Q: What is the wheel size and can I use a different diameter wheel?
A: GWK-MPE080E-LW wheels are 3.25 inch diameter by 4.5 inch width with 95A or 97A durometer polyurethane. Do not substitute larger or smaller diameters—this changes steering geometry, brake calibration, and load rating. Always use OEM-matched diameter and width.
Q: What is the difference between 95A and 97A durometer wheels for the MPE080E?
A: 95A polyurethane is slightly softer and provides better grip on wet or dusty floors with slightly longer service life. 97A is stiffer, rolls faster with less rolling resistance, and wears slower on dry smooth concrete. Both are sealed ball bearing assemblies. Choose 95A for wet environments or variable flooring; choose 97A for continuous dry warehouse operation.
Q: How do I remove the old load wheels without specialized equipment?
A: Raise the pallet jack on blocks. Remove fastener nuts with a socket. Drive out the old axle with a soft mallet. Press in the new sealed bearing assembly using an arbor press if available, or tap gently with a wood block to seat the bearing. Insert new axle, slide on the load wheel, and secure fasteners. Work on one wheel at a time to maintain stability.
Q: Do sealed bearings require any lubrication or repacking?
A: No. GWK-MPE080E-LW bearings are factory-sealed and contain lifetime grease. Do not attempt to add lubricant or repack. If a bearing fails or makes noise, replace the entire load wheel assembly—bearings cannot be serviced separately.
Q: What is the maximum load rating when installed on an MPE080E pallet jack?
A: Load capacity is determined by the pallet jack model and design, not the wheel kit alone. The MPE080E is typically rated for 3000 to 5500 pounds depending on mast height and lift configuration. GWK-MPE080E-LW wheels are OEM-engineered to match that capacity. Consult the jack nameplate for exact maximum load.
