Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will GWK-W45XT-LW fit my Hyster W45XT electric pallet jack?
A: Yes. GWK-W45XT-LW is engineered for direct fit on Hyster W45XT walkie electric pallet trucks. No modifications are required. Install as a complete bolt-on replacement assembly on the existing carriage.
Q: What is the wheel diameter and hardness of GWK-W45XT-LW?
A: GWK-W45XT-LW includes Durarun brand polyurethane wheels rated at 3.25 inch diameter, 4.5 inch tread width, and 95A Shore hardness. The 95A durometer provides balanced wear resistance and grip on standard concrete warehouse floors.
Q: Is GWK-W45XT-LW equivalent to any other part number?
A: Yes. GWK-W45XT-LW is equivalent to GWK-W45XT-LW-XL. Both are OEM Hyster kits with the same wheel specifications and compatibility. When ordering, either part number will deliver the same product.
Q: What type of axle material does this kit use?
A: GWK-W45XT-LW axles are manufactured from high-carbon alloy steel. High-carbon alloy steel resists bending and fatigue under full-load operation over extended service hours. Inspect axles for visible cracks or permanent bending; a bent axle must be replaced to maintain proper wheel alignment.
Q: What is the bearing specification and maintenance requirement?
A: GWK-W45XT-LW includes precision sealed ball bearings manufactured to chrome steel (SAE 52100 equivalent) specification. SAE 52100 is a bearing-grade steel that resists surface fatigue. Sealed design means no lubrication is required. If wheels do not spin freely or produce grinding noise, the bearing has failed and the wheel assembly must be replaced.
