Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main difference between the GW 111 and GW 110 wheels, and why would I choose one over the other?
A: The primary difference is the bearing bore: the GW 111 has a 17mm (0.669-inch) bearing hole, while the GW 110 has a 20mm bore. Both wheels share the same 3-inch OD and 3.75-inch width. Your choice depends on your jack model and axle configuration. Verify your current wheel bearing size by measuring the existing wheel bore or checking your jack manual. Installing the wrong bearing size will not fit the axle properly.
Q: Is the GW 111 compatible with my existing pallet jack if I am currently using a different wheel brand?
A: Compatibility depends on the axle bore size and mounting interface, not the brand of the current wheel. If your existing wheel also has a 17mm bearing hole and 3-inch OD, the GW 111 is a direct replacement. However, wheel hubs can vary slightly between manufacturers. Remove your current wheel and compare dimensions and bearing specifications. When in doubt, contact your jack manufacturer with the model number to confirm GW 111 compatibility.
Q: Can I mix GW 111 and GW 110 wheels on the same jack?
A: No. Mixing different bearing sizes on the same jack will cause the wheels to fit different axle positions, creating uneven floor contact, poor handling, and binding risk. All load wheels must be identical in bearing bore and outer dimensions. Use the same wheel model (GW 111 for both, or GW 110 for both). Mixing wheel types compromises safety.
Q: What is the load rating for the GW 111 wheel assembly?
A: The GW 111 is engineered with integrated hardened steel bearings to support heavy-duty pallet jack loads in warehouse environments. Specific load capacity per wheel must be verified in your equipment manual; typical capacity for 3-inch wheels ranges from 4000-5500 lbs depending on bearing quality and hub material. Always confirm your jack nameplate maximum load and do not exceed it. Operating beyond rated capacity voids warranty and creates tip-over hazards.
Q: How long do the integrated bearings in the GW 111 assembly last before replacement is needed?
A: Integrated bearings in the GW 111 are sealed or shielded and typically last 3-5 years with normal use. However, bearings cannot be serviced or relubricated separately; the entire wheel assembly must be replaced if bearings fail. Signs of bearing failure include: grinding or squealing noise when rolling, wheel wobbling, or resistance that increases over time. Once bearing failure occurs, the wheel assembly is not repairable and must be swapped as a complete unit.
Q: What maintenance is required to keep the GW 111 wheels operating smoothly?
A: Maintenance is minimal: inspect monthly for visible cracks or worn tread, keep floors clear of debris that causes resistance, do not exceed the jack load rating, and ensure axle bolts remain tight (check torque quarterly at 20-25 ft-lbs). Since bearings are integrated and sealed, no lubrication is needed. If wheels begin to bind or rotate slowly, do not try to grease them; inspect for hub damage or blocked bearing seals and replace the assembly if damaged.
