Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GW 248 compatible with older electric pallet jack models from the 2010s?
A: GW 248 fits any electric pallet jack with a 27mm bearing ID. Verify your jack model uses 3.25 diameter x 6 width with 27mm bore. Cross-reference your current wheel against OEM spec sheets. If dimensions match, GW 248 is a direct fit. If your jack uses 25mm bearings, you need GW 248-A instead.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for a single GW 248 wheel?
A: GW 248 is rated for optimal performance on electric pallet truck applications. Actual capacity depends on jack configuration and number of wheels. Most electric jacks use four load wheels. For precise load rating, consult your specific truck manual. 95 Shore A polyurethane provides consistent performance under sustained loads typical of warehouse operations.
Q: How do I know when my GW 248 wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace GW 248 when you see flat spots, visible cracks, or chunking in the polyurethane tread. If the wheel no longer tracks straight or makes squeaking noises that lubrication does not fix, bearing wear may have damaged the wheel. Check for loss of grip on ramps. Worn wheels reduce load capacity and increase steering effort.
Q: Can I use GW 248 wheels on a manual pallet jack or electric cart?
A: No. GW 248 is designed for electric lift truck load wheel applications only. Manual pallet jacks require steer wheels like GW 310 or GW 311. Attempting cross-application use will result in poor tracking, steering failure, and safety hazards. Always verify wheel type against your equipment manual.
Q: What tools and steps are needed to install a GW 248 wheel?
A: You will need a jack stand, wheel removal tool or wrench (size depends on axle design), and potentially a bearing puller if the bearing does not slide off cleanly. Support the truck safely. Remove the wheel assembly. Press out the old wheel or slide it off the axle. Install the new GW 248 wheel onto the clean axle. Verify the wheel rotates freely and does not wobble. Reinstall the truck and test.
Q: What is the difference between GW 248 and GW 248-A?
A: GW 248 uses a 27mm bearing ID. GW 248-A uses a 25mm bearing ID and includes a steel core assembly. Both are 3.25 x 6 polyurethane wheels. GW 248-A is a complete assembly with bearings; GW 248 is typically a wheel only. Verify your jack bearing ID before ordering. Using the wrong bearing size will cause misalignment and premature failure.
