Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-WPX45-LW and GWK-WPX45-LW-XL?
A: GWK-WPX45-LW features 95A durometer polyurethane load wheels. GWK-WPX45-LW-XL features 97A durometer wheels with larger diameter (3.25 x 4.50 inches). The XL variant provides better traction and load stability on demanding warehouse floors. Choose based on your floor type and load conditions. They are not interchangeable.
Q: Does GWK-WPX45-LW include bearings and axles?
A: Yes. This pre-assembled kit includes two 95A polyurethane load wheel assemblies, steel axles, bearings, and all fasteners. It is engineered for direct replacement. You will not need to source additional hardware. Installation is bolt-on without requiring bearing replacement.
Q: Is this kit OEM-equivalent for Clark WPX45 trucks?
A: Yes. GWK-WPX45-LW matches OEM specifications for construction and compatibility with Clark WPX45 electric lift trucks. The part number GWK-WPX45-LW is the OEM part number. It is a direct replacement for factory wheels.
Q: What floor surface is 95A durometer optimized for?
A: 95A polyurethane wheels provide good grip on standard concrete warehouse floors with light to moderate contamination. They wear well in typical indoor material-handling environments. If your warehouse has smooth polished concrete or very heavy contamination (oil, grease), consider upgrading to the XL variant (97A) for better traction and resistance.
Q: How often should I inspect this wheel kit for wear?
A: Inspect wheels monthly if the truck is used daily. Look for flat spotting, visible cracks, hardened polyurethane (brittle feel when tapped), or uneven wear patterns. These are early warning signs. In heavy-use environments, expect wheel replacement every 18-36 months. Proper floor maintenance and bearing lubrication extend lifespan significantly.
Q: What tools do I need to install this kit?
A: You need a socket set (typically 12-19 mm sockets), a wrench, and lubricant. No bearing pullers, presses, or specialized lift truck tools are required. The kit is pre-assembled, so installation is straightforward bolt-on replacement. Allow 20-40 minutes for removal and installation if you are working in a warehouse bay.
