Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this GWK-MPB045VG-LW wheel kit fit other Yale pallet jack models besides the MPB045VG?
A: No. This kit is engineered exclusively for Yale MPB045VG electric pallet jacks. The axle dimensions, bearing bore, and mounting interface are specific to this model. Using it on other models will result in misalignment or failure to seat properly. Always verify your model number matches MPB045VG before ordering.
Q: What is the wheel durometer rating and does it mark floors?
A: This kit features 95A Shore durometer polyurethane wheels that are non-marking and shatterproof, designed specifically for indoor factory and warehouse use. The 95A rating provides good load capacity while maintaining flexibility for smooth rolling on concrete and sealed floors without leaving residue or scuff marks.
Q: What maintenance is required for the greasable axles in this wheel kit?
A: The kit includes greasable axles with string guards and grease fittings. Inspect grease fittings every 500 operating hours or monthly, whichever comes first. Apply 2-3 pumps of NLGI grade 2 general-purpose lithium grease. Overgreasing creates drag; undergreasing causes bearing failure. Replace the kit if axles show play or wheels wobble after regreasing.
Q: Are the bearings sealed or do they require maintenance?
A: The bearings are carbon steel, chrome plated, and designed to work with the greasable axle system. While not fully sealed, the string guards provide partial protection from debris. Regular greasing through the fittings maintains bearing lubrication. If bearings develop noise or resistance after cleaning and regreasing, the entire load wheel assembly must be replaced.
Q: Can I replace just one wheel in this kit or must I replace both?
A: Replacement is recommended in pairs. The kit contains two 95A polyurethane load wheel assemblies. Replacing only one creates uneven load distribution, causing the jack to track crooked and accelerating wear on the remaining wheel. Always replace both load wheels together for balanced performance and even wear.
Q: What tools do I need to install this wheel kit on my MPB045VG?
A: You need a 17mm socket or wrench, a rubber mallet, and safety blocks or jack stands to secure the pallet jack during wheel replacement. The kit includes all fasteners. Do not attempt installation without proper equipment to support the jack frame. Improper support risks crushing injury. Follow the assembly diagram included with the kit.
