Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does GW 125 not include bearings, and when would I use this wheel?
A: GW 125 is a bare wheel assembly without bearings. This configuration is used when you need to install your own bearings or when existing bearings are being reused. This option is common for repair kits, retrofit projects, or when replacing only the wheel tread while keeping the original bearing.
Q: What size bearings do I need to purchase separately for GW 125?
A: GW 125 requires bearings with a 20mm inner bore ID. Sealed ball bearings in this size are standard for manual pallet jacks and electric lift trucks. Check your equipment manual or the axle specification to confirm the bearing type, load rating, and outer diameter required for proper fit.
Q: Is GW 125 compatible with standard 20mm bore sealed bearings?
A: Yes, GW 125 accepts standard 20mm ID sealed ball bearings. However, verify the outer diameter (OD) of the bearing matches your equipment. Different bearing sizes have different ODs, and an incorrect bearing size may not fit the wheel hub or axle assembly. Confirm compatibility before purchasing bearings.
Q: What is the proper installation procedure for GW 125 with new bearings?
A: Press or tap the bearing into the wheel hub bore using a bearing tool or drift. Ensure the bearing is fully seated and does not tilt. Slide the wheel assembly onto the pallet jack or lift truck axle. Secure with the axle bolt and cotter pin. Do not force the bearing, as this can damage the seal or bearing race.
Q: Should I reuse existing bearings with GW 125, or purchase new ones?
A: If your existing bearings are in good condition (spin freely, no noise, no visible damage or rust), you can reuse them with GW 125. If the original bearings are noisy, rough, or seized, replace them with new sealed bearings. Mixing old bearings with a new wheel may result in premature failure. Inspect bearings closely before installation.
