Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-2507-LW compatible with high-lift skid trucks other than Uline H-2507?
A: GWK-2507-LW is engineered for Uline Model H-2507 High-Lift Skid Truck. While the description notes compatibility with most pallet jack makes and models, always verify wheel diameter, bore size, and axle length against your equipment specification sheet. Installing mismatched wheels can cause binding, uneven wear, or premature bearing failure.
Q: What does 70D Ultra-Poly mean on the GWK-2507-LW wheels?
A: Ultra-Poly refers to a hard polyurethane compound molded around a steel hub. The 70D refers to Shore Durometer hardness measured on the ASTM D2240 scale. This hardness level provides a balance between durability and floor protection. 70D polyurethane is harder than typical 60D wheels but softer than industrial nylon, offering good wear resistance for high-use environments.
Q: How do you install GWK-2507-LW on an H-2507 high-lift skid truck?
A: Lift the skid truck on blocks to access the wheel assemblies. Remove fasteners securing the existing load wheels to the axles. Slide out the old wheel assembly, noting the bearing and seal orientation. Position the new Ultra-Poly wheel assembly onto the axle, aligning the inner bearing seat. Reinstall fasteners and tighten firmly but do not over-torque. Verify both wheels spin freely and are aligned before lowering the truck to the floor.
Q: Can GWK-2507-LW wheels be used in freezer environments?
A: Yes, GWK-2507-LW Ultra-Poly wheels perform well in freezer and cold storage operations down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Polyurethane remains flexible in cold conditions, whereas nylon wheels can become brittle. However, inspect wheels frequently in freezer service, as cold temperatures accelerate bearing wear. Apply a low-temperature bearing lubricant when needed.
Q: What is the expected load capacity and lifespan of GWK-2507-LW wheels?
A: GWK-2507-LW wheels support the full rated capacity of the Uline H-2507 High-Lift Skid Truck, typically 6000 pounds or higher. Expected service life is 12 to 18 months under normal warehouse use, with 70D polyurethane typically lasting longer than standard 60D options. Heavy-duty or outdoor use will reduce lifespan. Rotate or replace wheels when flat spots or excessive wear become visible.
