Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the GW 415 and where is it used?
A: GW 415 is a steer wheel axle for manual pallet jacks. It serves as a replacement component for jacks requiring this specific axle type and load rating.
Q: How do I verify that GW 415 is the correct replacement for my jack?
A: Check the original equipment manufacturer part number on your current axle. Cross-reference it with the GW 415 specification. Verify axle shaft dimensions, diameter, and the wheel mounting interface. Consult your jack documentation or contact the original manufacturer with your model number for confirmation.
Q: What defects require replacement of the GW 415 axle?
A: Replace the axle if you observe: persistent steering problems after cleaning and inspection, visible bending or cracking of the shaft, wheel that does not spin freely, rust or corrosion that compromises material strength, or noise coming from the wheel area. Do not continue operation with a damaged axle.
Q: What is the installation procedure for GW 415?
A: Lower the jack fully and position it on a level work surface. Remove the retaining nut and washer from the existing axle. Carefully slide the old axle out of the wheel assembly. Align the GW 415 and slide it into place. Install the washer and retaining nut. Tighten securely and verify the wheel rotates smoothly without wobble.
Q: Are there equivalent part numbers for GW 415 from other manufacturers?
A: Equivalent part numbers depend on your specific pallet jack model and manufacturer. Always reference the OEM documentation for approved replacement parts. Do not assume interchangeability without direct confirmation.
