Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the exact size and bearing ID of the GW 140 wheel?
A: The GW 140 is a 5.000 inch diameter x 2.000 inch width wheel (also listed as 127mm x 50.80mm) with a 25mm bearing ID (0.984 inch bore). It features a steel hub with pre-installed double row sealed ball bearings and a polyurethane tread rated for 2200 lbs static load capacity.
Q: Is the GW 140 compatible with both standard and aftermarket manual pallet jacks?
A: Yes, the GW 140 is designed for standard and aftermarket manual pallet jacks. Before installation, verify your jack axle diameter matches the 25mm bearing ID. The wheel assembly is a direct replacement for most manual pallet jack models, but always confirm axle fit before ordering to avoid incompatibility issues.
Q: How do I diagnose if the GW 140 wheel needs replacement?
A: Watch for these failure symptoms: visible cracks or chunks missing from the polyurethane tread, grinding or clicking sounds during operation, wobbling or side-to-side play when pushed, or noticeable reduction in grip on smooth floors. If the wheel does not roll smoothly under its 2200 lbs rating or the tread is worn flat, replacement is necessary.
Q: What tools and steps are required to install or replace a GW 140 wheel?
A: You will need a wrench or socket set to fit your jack axle fasteners and a rubber mallet. Remove the cotter pin or set screw securing the axle, tap the old wheel off the axle, slide the new GW 140 assembly onto the axle, and re-secure the fastener. The bearing is pre-installed, so no bearing installation is required. Ensure the wheel spins freely before returning the jack to service.
Q: What maintenance extends the life of the GW 140 wheel?
A: Keep the polyurethane tread clean and dry to prevent debris buildup that accelerates wear. Inspect the sealed bearings quarterly for signs of water ingress or noise. Do not expose the wheel to extreme temperatures or caustic chemicals. Rotate wheels periodically if multiple jacks are in use. With proper care and normal use, expect a service life of 2 to 4 years before tread degradation requires replacement.
