Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the GWK-W60Z-LW-XL kit?
A: The kit includes two complete load wheel assemblies with 97A durometer polyurethane wheels, axles, sealed bearings, and all necessary fasteners for mounting on Hyster W60Z electric pallet jacks.
Q: What is the difference between GWK-W60Z-LW and GWK-W60Z-LW-XL?
A: GWK-W60Z-LW features standard 95A polyurethane wheels, while GWK-W60Z-LW-XL features 97A wheels, which are 2 points harder on the Shore A scale. The 97A durometer provides 20-30% extended wear life at the cost of slightly reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Q: Will the 0000-W60Z-LW-XL wheels fit Hyster W60Z jacks with standard 95A wheels?
A: Yes. The 97A wheels maintain the same 3.25 x 6.5-inch profile and mounting interface as standard 95A wheels. No frame modification or axle adaptation is required for a direct-fit upgrade.
Q: How long do the 97A wheels last compared to standard wheels?
A: Under identical load and floor conditions, 97A wheels provide approximately 1200-1500 operating hours versus 800-1000 hours for standard 95A wheels. Lifespan varies with floor type, load frequency, and environmental conditions.
Q: Can I mix 97A and 95A wheels on the same jack?
A: No. Do not mix different durometer wheels on the same pallet jack. Mismatched wheels wear at different rates, causing uneven load distribution, poor tire contact, and premature bearing wear. Always replace wheels in complete axle sets.
Q: Which environments favor the 97A wheels?
A: The 97A compound is optimal for high-temperature areas (above 95°F), oil-mist environments, and floors with sharp debris or aggregate. In cold conditions below 40°F, 97A wheels become very hard and grip becomes poor; use standard 95A wheels for freezing environments.
Q: Are sealed bearings included?
A: Yes. The kit includes sealed bearings with all load wheel assemblies, providing protection against moisture and dust contamination while reducing maintenance requirements.
Q: What is the wheel material composition?
A: The wheels are cast polyurethane with 97A Shore A durometer hardness, engineered to resist microabrasion, polymer softening, and chemical attack in industrial warehouse environments.
