Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GWK-272939-LW wheel kit compatible with the Wesco TEHL21?
A: Yes, the GWK-272939-LW is designed exclusively for Wesco TEHL21 high-lift pallet jacks. Confirm your equipment model matches before purchasing. This kit is not compatible with TSHL21, TSHL27, TEHL27, or any other Wesco or competitor models, as wheel diameter, mounting configuration, and bearing specifications are model-specific.
Q: What are the exact wheel dimensions for the GWK-272939-LW?
A: The GWK-272939-LW wheels measure 3.25 inches in diameter and 3.75 inches in width, with 5/8 inch axles. These dimensions are critical for proper fitment on the TEHL21 model. Do not attempt installation on equipment requiring different wheel sizes, as improper fit will cause misalignment and load distribution failure.
Q: What bearing material is used in the GWK-272939-LW wheel assemblies?
A: The GWK-272939-LW features chrome alloy steel sealed ball bearings that resist corrosion and provide smooth, quiet operation. Sealed bearings eliminate the need for regular greasing and prevent contamination from warehouse dust and moisture, extending bearing life to 3-5 years under normal conditions.
Q: What is the core material under the polyurethane on the GWK-272939-LW wheels?
A: The wheel core is a composite material with polyurethane over-molded on top. This construction provides impact resistance, reduces weight compared to solid steel wheels, and improves floor compatibility. The composite core also reduces noise transmission compared to all-metal wheel designs.
Q: Does the GWK-272939-LW installation require equipment downtime?
A: Installation typically requires 30-45 minutes per wheel and is a direct replacement procedure. You will need to secure the jack on a level surface, remove fasteners from the old wheel, slide off the worn assembly, install the new GWK-272939-LW wheel, and torque fasteners. The jack should remain out of service during this maintenance.
Q: How long will the GWK-272939-LW wheels last in manual high-lift pallet truck service?
A: The 70D Ultra-Poly wheels combined with sealed chrome alloy steel bearings provide 3-5 years of reliable service in typical warehouse use. Heavy-duty, high-frequency lifting operations may reduce lifespan to 18-30 months. Inspect wheels quarterly for cracks, flat spots, or bearing wear to plan proactive replacements.
