Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on this wheel kit?
A: XL denotes 97A durometer polyurethane wheels instead of standard 95A. The 97A compound is harder and more resistant to compression set, making it suitable for high-traffic warehouse environments. Wheel diameter and width remain 3.25 inch by 4.50 inch. Do not assume XL means larger physical size.
Q: Can I upgrade from standard GWK-MPW045E-LW to GWK-MPW045E-LW-XL on an existing jack?
A: Yes. The XL kit installs on any MPW045E jack using identical mounting interfaces. Uninstall the standard wheels, install the XL wheels using the same axles, bearings, and hardware. The harder 97A material requires no changes to brake settings or steering geometry. Upgrade cost justifies itself if your jack operates in high-cycle or outdoor conditions where wheels wear rapidly.
Q: Will 97A wheels make my jack harder to push?
A: Not significantly. The durometer increase from 95A to 97A adds minimal rolling resistance. You may notice slightly increased responsiveness and reduced wheel deflection at maximum load. Operators report no meaningful difference in push effort. The advantage is extended wheel life, not handling performance.
Q: Does this XL kit fit Yale MPW045E B802 series jacks?
A: Yes. GWK-MPW045E-LW-XL is engineered for Yale MPW045E (B802 series) models. Verify your jack serial range falls within B802 designation before ordering. Older or newer MPW045E production runs may use different wheel bore spacing; always cross-check the OEM nameplate.
Q: How long do 97A wheels typically last compared to 95A?
A: 97A wheels typically extend service life 40 to 60 percent under identical operating conditions. Standard 95A wheels last 18 to 36 months; XL 97A wheels average 28 to 48 months. Life span depends on floor surface, load frequency, and storage environment. Rough concrete and outdoor use favor the harder 97A compound.
