Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the load capacity of the GW 118 wheel assembly?
A: The GW 118 is rated for 5000 lb capacity with a 24 inch load center. This rating assumes proper load distribution across both load wheels and operation within the specified load center distance from the fork blade.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the GW 118?
A: The GW 118 is the OEM part number. Verify compatibility with your specific pallet jack model and serial range before ordering, as equivalent numbers vary by manufacturer. Consult your equipment documentation or parts manual for approved substitutes.
Q: Can I install the GW 118 on a different manual pallet jack model?
A: The GW 118 is designed specifically for manual pallet jacks with a 20mm bearing ID and axle shaft compatibility. Verify that your jack model accepts a 3.250 inch diameter x 3.880 inch width wheel assembly before installation. Incorrect fitment can cause handling issues and safety hazards.
Q: What is the bearing size and material for the GW 118?
A: The GW 118 features a 20mm bearing ID (0.787 inch bore) with a machined carbon steel core and polyurethane-molded surface. The bearing type and seal configuration are matched to this wheel diameter and width for optimal performance under continuous duty loading.
Q: How do I know when to replace the GW 118 wheel assembly?
A: Replace the GW 118 when you observe flat spotting, deep cracks in the polyurethane tread, wobbling during rolling, or reduced load-carrying performance. Abrasion-resistant polyurethane typically lasts 2 to 5 years depending on floor surface and load frequency. Replace both wheels as a pair to maintain balance.
