Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-MPE080E-LW and GWK-MPE080E-LW-XL?
A: Both kits fit Yale MPE080E electric pallet jacks. The GWK-MPE080E-LW-XL features 97A polyurethane wheels, which deliver a stiffer, more durable compound optimized for high-cycle warehouse operations on dry, hard concrete. Standard LW kits may offer both 95A and 97A options; XL specifies 97A exclusively for maximum durability.
Q: Will the 0000-GWK-MPE080E-LW-XL wheels fit my MPE080E pallet jack?
A: Yes. The GWK-MPE080E-LW-XL is a direct replacement designed specifically for Yale MPE080E electric pallet jacks. The 3.25 x 4.5 inch wheel dimensions match original factory specifications. All mounting hardware and bearing bores are standard.
Q: Is 97A polyurethane suitable for all floor types?
A: 97A polyurethane wheels are optimized for hard, smooth, dry concrete floors common in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. On wet, oily, or uneven floors, 97A wheels may experience reduced traction or uneven wear. Softer 95A or 80D compounds provide better grip in wet environments but wear faster.
Q: Can I use just one GWK-MPE080E-LW-XL kit if my pallet jack has dual wheel frames on each side?
A: No. The GWK-MPE080E-LW-XL is a complete kit for one jack frame. If your pallet jack has dual wheel mounting frames on each side, you will need two kits—one per frame. Mixing old and new wheels causes uneven rolling resistance and compromises steering stability.
Q: How long do 97A polyurethane wheels typically last?
A: Under high-duty cycle operation, 97A polyurethane wheels typically provide 12 to 18 months of service life. Lifespan varies based on floor condition, load frequency, and storage conditions. Replace wheels when diameter wear exceeds 0.25 inch or when visible cracking or chunking appears.
Q: Should I perform routine inspection on the GWK-MPE080E-LW-XL wheels?
A: Yes. Perform visual inspection every 30 days during continuous use. Check for flat-spotting, cracks, uneven wear patterns, and bearing play. Early inspection helps prevent unexpected wheel failure and maintains load stability and braking effectiveness.
