Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the GWK-MPW050E-LW fit?
A: The GWK-MPW050E-LW is designed for Yale MPW050E electric walkie pallet jacks. The "E" designation indicates this kit is optimized for electric-driven operation. Do not use this kit on manual MPW050 models, as bearing preload and axle hardness are engineered specifically for motor-driven wheel rotation.
Q: What is the difference between GWK-MPW050-LW and GWK-MPW050E-LW?
A: GWK-MPW050E-LW is for electric Yale MPW050E models; GWK-MPW050-LW is for manual MPW050 jacks. The electric kit includes bearing preload and axle hardness optimized for motor-driven wheel rotation. Using the wrong kit results in wheel slip or premature bearing wear.
Q: What polyurethane durometer do these wheels use?
A: GWK-MPW050E-LW wheels are Durarun 95A polyurethane with butterscotch finish. The 95A compound balances wear resistance with load absorption. Do not substitute 85A (softer) or 97A (harder) wheels without verifying bearing and axle compatibility for the electric drivetrain.
Q: Can I mix and match these wheels with other Yale load wheel kits?
A: No. Do not mix GWK-MPW050E-LW wheels with other models or cross-source bearing assemblies. The bearing preload and axle specification are engineered for the MPW050E electric system. Mixing kits may cause binding, slippage, or motor strain.
Q: What maintenance is required for these 95A polyurethane wheels?
A: Inspect wheels monthly for flat spots, cracks, or debris buildup. Clean with dry cloth; do not hose with water or use solvents that degrade polyurethane. Rotate wheels front-to-rear every 100 operating hours to equalize wear. Bearing preload requires no adjustment. Replace wheels when visible cracking appears or permanent deformation is evident.
Q: How long does this wheel kit typically last on an electric jack?
A: Typical service life is 24 to 48 months depending on cycle frequency and floor surface. Electric jacks operate at higher utilization than manual models, so expect wheel wear on the lower end of this range in busy warehouses. Outdoor or rough-concrete operation reduces life to 18 to 30 months. 95A Durarun compound is durable but not designed for extreme abrasion environments.
