Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the static load rating of the GW 134 and does it match my pallet jack capacity?
A: The GW 134 has a static load rating of 2200 lbs per wheel. On a four-wheel jack, total static capacity is approximately 8800 lbs. However, manual pallet jacks are typically rated for 5000 lbs total capacity. Verify your jack nameplate rating and do not exceed it. The GW 134 polyurethane tread with 95±2 Shore A durometer provides the durability needed for higher-stress applications. Confirm your jack model is compatible with the GW 134 before ordering.
Q: How do I confirm the GW 134 fits my manual pallet jack?
A: Measure your current wheel diameter (must be 3.000 inch), width (must be 3.500 inch), and bearing bore ID (must be 20mm). The GW 134 bearing ID is 20mm (0.787 inch), which is compatible with jacks using 20mm axle shafts. Do not attempt to fit a GW 134 on a jack with 0.75 inch (19.05mm) axle bearings. Verify wheel compatibility with your original equipment documentation or contact the jack manufacturer.
Q: What is the difference between the GW 134 and other polyurethane wheel models?
A: The GW 134 differs from models like GW 131 and GW 135 primarily in wheel width: GW 134 is 3.500 inches wide, compared to GW 131 at 2.750 inches and GW 135 at 3.750 inches. All use 20mm ID bearings and 3 inch diameter. The GW 134 tread hardness is 95±2 Shore A, making it slightly harder and more wear-resistant than the GW 131 at 92 Shore A. Harder tread provides longer lifespan but may offer slightly less cushioning on rough surfaces. Choose based on your jack width specification.
Q: What is the installation and replacement procedure for the GW 134?
A: Lower the jack to its fully lowered position and place on a flat, stable surface. Remove the cotter pin and axle fastener from the first wheel. Slide the old wheel assembly off the axle shaft. Slide the GW 134 bearing bore onto the axle shaft, ensuring smooth and even seating. Reinstall the axle fastener and cotter pin, tightening securely. Rotate the wheel by hand to confirm free movement. Repeat for all four wheels. Allow the jack to rest for 30 minutes before placing it under load.
Q: What maintenance schedule is recommended for the GW 134 wheel assembly?
A: Inspect wheels weekly during regular use for damage, flat spots, or debris. Clean polyurethane tread with a damp cloth monthly to prevent buildup that reduces grip. The sealed bearings require no lubrication. Check axle fasteners monthly to ensure cotter pins are present and bolts remain tight. If wheels develop resistance, noise, or vibration, bearing failure may be occurring. Replace the wheel assembly rather than attempting to repair. Monitor tread hardness and replace when worn, typically after 3-5 years of normal use.
Q: Is the GW 134 suitable for all floor types and environments?
A: The GW 134 polyurethane tread is suitable for most indoor hard floor surfaces including concrete, tile, and epoxy. It is safe for polished floors and does not leave marks. For outdoor or rough concrete use, verify the tread hardness remains adequate. Avoid extreme temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, which can affect polyurethane properties. Do not use on slopes exceeding 10 degrees without additional safety measures. Always comply with your jack manufacturer environment recommendations.
