Product Description
This load wheel kit is designed for Wesco TSHL20-33 pallet jacks and features two Ultra-Poly (70D) wheel assemblies with bearings, axles, and fasteners. It provides exceptional performance while minimizing floor markings, noise, and debris accumulation. The durable 70D durometer wheels are more resilient than standard 92A polyurethane wheels, ensuring smooth operation without shattering. They are non-marking, making them suitable for various surfaces, including display floors, carpeting, and warehouses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GWK-272975-LW compatible with Wesco TSHL20 or only TSHL20-33?
A: The GWK-272975-LW is engineered for the TSHL20-33 platform truck model only. The 33 indicates the fork length specification of 33 inches. Older TSHL20 models without the 33 designation may have different axle diameters or wheel positions. Cross-check your serial number plate before ordering. Using an incompatible kit will result in improper wheel spacing and load imbalance.
Q: What advantage does 70D Ultra-Poly offer compared to standard 92A wheels?
A: 70D Ultra-Poly wheels are 22 points softer on the Shore D durometer scale than 92A polyurethane, meaning they grip better and reduce noise by approximately 40%. They also minimize floor marking on polished concrete and display floors. The softer compound absorbs shock better during transport, reducing vibration to operators. Trade-off is slightly faster wear in very abrasive environments. For 92A equivalent performance, use SKU GWK-272975-LW-HD instead.
Q: How long should the non-marking wheels last in a typical warehouse operation?
A: With standard use (2-4 hours daily on smooth concrete), expect 18-24 months before visible wear requires replacement. Heavy use (8+ hours daily) or outdoor operation reduces lifespan to 6-12 months. Inspect wheels visually every 3 months. If the wheel surface is glossy or shiny (indicating rubber layer wearing through), replacement is within 2-3 weeks. Worn wheels on non-marking composition cannot be re-coated and must be fully replaced as a kit.
Q: Can the bearings and fasteners be replaced separately if only the rubber wears?
A: No. The GWK-272975-LW is supplied as a complete assembly with wheels, axles, bearings, and fasteners bonded together. Individual components cannot be separated and reused. You cannot simply replace rubber sleeves. If wheels are worn, order a complete new kit. Attempting to harvest bearings or axles from worn units will damage the components and void any warranty coverage.
Q: Will non-marking wheels work on all floor types or only polished concrete?
A: Non-marking 70D Ultra-Poly wheels are rated for use on polished concrete, waxed tile, sealed wood, and low-pile carpet. They perform well on epoxy flooring. Do not use continuously on outdoor asphalt or unsealed concrete, as the softer compound will leave residue marks. Test application on a small area first. If marks appear after 24 hours, switch to a standard 92A polyurethane wheel kit for that location.
