Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-W40XT-LW-XL compatible with both W40 XL and W40 XT Hyster models?
A: Yes. GWK-W40XT-LW-XL is designed for both Hyster W 40 XL and W 40 XT electric pallet trucks. The mounting interfaces are identical across these models. Confirm your truck model on the Hyster nameplate before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What is the difference between GWK-W40XT-LW and GWK-W40XT-LW-XL?
A: GWK-W40XT-LW-XL features 97A durometer ultra-polyurethane wheels, while the standard GWK-W40XT-LW uses 95A polyurethane. The 97A compound is harder, more abrasion-resistant, and rated for higher temperature environments. GWK-W40XT-LW-XL is recommended for extreme heavy-duty applications, rough terrain, or high-mileage warehouse environments where extra durometer is justified.
Q: Does GWK-W40XT-LW-XL include two wheel assemblies or four?
A: GWK-W40XT-LW-XL includes two 97A durometer polyurethane load wheel assemblies with complete bearing, axle, and fastener hardware. This kit replaces the load wheels only. Steer wheels are not included; if steer wheel replacement is needed, contact Hyster technical support for the applicable steer wheel part number.
Q: Are bearings and axles pre-installed on GWK-W40XT-LW-XL wheels?
A: Yes. GWK-W40XT-LW-XL wheels arrive fully assembled with sealed bearings, hardened carbon steel axles, and all required fasteners. No bearing installation, lubrication, or field assembly is required. Wheels are ready for direct bolt-on replacement onto your truck carriage.
Q: How should I install GWK-W40XT-LW-XL wheels on my Hyster truck?
A: Secure the truck on a maintenance stand or lift to safely access the load wheel area. Locate and remove fasteners securing the old wheel assemblies. Slide old wheels off the axles. Position new GWK-W40XT-LW-XL wheels onto the axles, ensuring proper seating. Install fasteners and torque firmly to eliminate play without over-tightening. Manually spin each wheel to verify smooth bearing rotation and proper alignment.
Q: What temperature and load conditions is GWK-W40XT-LW-XL rated for?
A: GWK-W40XT-LW-XL is rated for standard industrial use at temperatures between 0 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The 97A durometer polyurethane is optimized for high-load applications and heavy-duty cycle environments. Load capacity is governed by the truck frame and hydraulic system specifications, not the wheel kit. Do not exceed the Hyster W 40 XL/XT frame rated capacity of 4000 pounds, as exceeding this may cause wheel failure or bearing damage.
