Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the GW 653-EL wheel include bearings?
A: No. The GW 653-EL is a wheel only and does not include bearings. You must source and install bearings separately into the wheel hub bore. Verify bearing ID and installation method with your lift truck manufacturer before purchasing.
Q: What is the durometer hardness and material of the GW 653-EL?
A: The GW 653-EL is constructed from polyurethane polymer with a durometer hardness of 97A. This compound provides good load capacity and durability for electric lift truck applications on warehouse floors and smooth surfaces.
Q: Can I use the GW 653-EL as a direct replacement for older lift trucks?
A: The GW 653-EL uses manufacturer part number GW 653 and has no available cross-reference part numbers. Always verify wheel bore diameter, axle fit, and mounting method on your specific lift truck model before ordering, as dimensions vary by manufacturer.
Q: What surfaces are the GW 653-EL wheels best suited for?
A: The 97A polyurethane compound on the GW 653-EL performs well on concrete, tile, and polished warehouse floors. For uneven outdoor surfaces, softer durometers (85A to 90A) provide better traction and reduce shock load on the truck frame.
