Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will GWK-PMX45-LW fit my BT Prime Mover PMX1 truck?
A: No. GWK-PMX45-LW is designed for PMX 45 series trucks only. The wheel diameter is 3.25 inches with 5 inch width, which differs from PMX1 specifications. Using on incorrect model results in poor handling and does not fit the axle assembly.
Q: What are the wheel dimensions for the GWK-PMX45-LW kit?
A: Load wheels measure 3.25 inches in diameter and 5 inches in width. The polyurethane compound is rated at 95A Shore hardness. Verify your truck body accepts this size before ordering; measure the existing wheel if uncertain.
Q: Are precision bearings included in the GWK-PMX45-LW kit?
A: Yes. The kit includes precision bearings, complete axle assemblies, retention pins, and all mounting hardware. No additional components are needed for installation.
Q: How do I install GWK-PMX45-LW wheels on my PMX 45 truck?
A: Remove the four retaining bolts holding each old wheel assembly. Slide out the old wheel, axle, and bearings. Insert the new axle assembly with bearings already installed. Align the mounting holes and thread in all retention bolts hand-tight first, then torque to 35 to 45 foot-pounds. Do not over-torque or strip threads.
Q: What symptoms indicate my PMX 45 wheels need replacement?
A: Common signs include grinding noise when turning, flat spots or visible cracks on the polyurethane, difficulty pushing loaded pallets, or wheels that squeak and do not roll freely. If wheels fail these checks, they require replacement.
Q: What is the typical replacement interval for GWK-PMX45-LW wheels?
A: Expected lifespan is 18 to 30 months with regular warehouse use. Rough concrete, outdoor storage, and heavy daily use shorten lifespan. Inspect wheels monthly and replace as soon as wear becomes visible to maintain truck performance and safety.
