Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-272461-LW compatible with Wesco NTEHL27 pallet jacks?
A: Yes, GWK-272461-LW is a direct fit for Wesco NTEHL27 manual pallet jack load wheels. The kit contains two complete Ultra-Poly (70D) wheel assemblies with hardened carbon steel axles and all required fasteners for installation.
Q: What makes the carbon steel axles in this kit special?
A: Hardened carbon steel axles resist bending, corrosion, and wear under heavy loads. These axles will not rust or degrade in humid or outdoor storage conditions. They provide superior rigidity compared to standard steel, reducing wheel wobble and extending overall jack performance.
Q: Can I use GWK-272461-LW wheels on carpeted surfaces?
A: Yes, the hard 70D durometer polyurethane does not tear carpet when properly inflated and maintained. However, roll slowly on low-pile carpet to prevent friction. Test first in a non-critical area. For high-pile or sensitive carpet, consider softer wheel options like 92A durometer.
Q: How do I know if the bearings are worn out and need replacement?
A: Signs of bearing wear include grinding noise when rolling, excessive wheel side-to-side play, or rough spinning. Spin each wheel by hand; it should rotate freely for at least 3 to 5 seconds without sound. If noise or resistance is present, bearings require replacement. GWK-272461-LW includes new bearings, so replacement is straightforward.
Q: What is the load capacity with these wheels?
A: Load capacity is determined by your Wesco NTEHL27 pallet jack frame and hydraulic system, not the wheels. GWK-272461-LW wheels support the full rated capacity of the jack (typically 3000 pounds for this model). Do not exceed the jack nameplate limit.
Q: Are these wheels suitable for factory floors with debris or oil?
A: Yes, 70D Ultra-Poly wheels resist oil absorption and do not degrade in oily conditions. However, clean wheels regularly to maintain traction and prevent slipping. If heavy debris is present, steel or nylon wheel options may provide better durability and longer intervals between cleaning.
