Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-EMSL22-LW compatible with both Atlas EMSL22 and Mobile EMSL22 models?
A: Yes. GWK-EMSL22-LW is cross-compatible with both Atlas Model EMSL22 and Mobile Model EMSL22 high-lift skid trucks. Both manufacturers used identical axle and bearing specifications for this model line. Verify your truck serial number and model designation on the frame plate before ordering. If your truck is labeled as a third-party rebrand, contact the original manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
Q: What is the wheel size and what load capacity can it support?
A: GWK-EMSL22-LW wheels are 3 inches in diameter by 2 inches in width, manufactured from 70 Shore D durometer Ultra-Polyurethane. The EMSL22 truck has a rated load capacity of 2,200 to 3,300 lbs depending on lift height. Each wheel assembly can sustain its proportional share of this load plus dynamic shock. Do not exceed the truck nameplate capacity. On inclines or uneven surfaces, reduce loads by 20 to 30 percent to prevent wheel slippage.
Q: What makes GWK-EMSL22-LW suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?
A: The 70D durometer Ultra-Poly material is engineered for high-load industrial environments with frequent movement and rough flooring. Carbon steel axles provide rigidity and resistance to bending under repeated shock loads. The wheels resist oil, grease, and chemical spills. The sealed roller bearings prevent dirt and moisture ingress. This combination makes the kit ideal for manufacturing plants, auto shops, and dock operations where durability and reliability are critical.
Q: What is the installation procedure, and are modifications to the truck required?
A: No modifications are required. (1) Lift the truck using a suitable hoist or jack stand and secure safely. (2) Remove the axle pin or cotter pin from each wheel. (3) Slide the old wheel assembly off the axle shaft. (4) Clean the axle with a wire brush to remove corrosion. (5) Slide the new wheel assembly onto the axle, ensuring the bearing race seats fully. (6) Reinstall and secure the axle pin. (7) Test wheel rotation; it should spin freely with light resistance. Installation takes approximately 45 minutes for both wheels.
Q: How do I diagnose bearing wear in GWK-EMSL22-LW wheels?
A: Lift the truck safely and spin each wheel by hand. A healthy bearing rotates freely with minimal drag and makes no noise. Symptoms of bearing wear: grinding, squeaking, or rumbling sounds during operation; the wheel does not spin freely or stops abruptly; or wobbling side-to-side at the wheel face. If any of these occur, the wheel assembly must be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair sealed bearings; replacement is the only safe option.
Q: What is the expected service life of GWK-EMSL22-LW in heavy-duty environments?
A: In heavy-duty continuous use (10-plus hours per day on rough concrete), expect 18 to 36 months of service life. In moderate use (5 hours daily on mixed surfaces), expect 3 to 5 years. Inspect wheels quarterly for flat spots, cracks, or uneven wear. Replace immediately if tread is worn to 50 percent of original diameter. Sealed bearings typically outlast the polyurethane compound. Store unused wheels indoors and keep axles dry to prevent rust.
