Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the OEM part number for GWK-WIC1-LW and does it have cross-reference equivalents?
A: GWK-WIC1-LW is the manufacturer part number. The OEM part number is 272748. The Zoro cross-reference part number is G303968622. No other published cross-reference numbers are available. Always use GWK-WIC1-LW when ordering to ensure compatibility with Wesco model 272748 manual pallet jacks.
Q: Which Wesco manual pallet jack models are compatible with GWK-WIC1-LW?
A: GWK-WIC1-LW is engineered exclusively for Wesco manual pallet jack model 272748. Do not use on other Wesco models or competing brands. Verify your jack model number on the nameplate before purchase. Using on incompatible equipment may result in misalignment and premature bearing failure.
Q: What are the wheel specifications for GWK-WIC1-LW?
A: GWK-WIC1-LW wheels measure 3.00 inch diameter by 3.375 inch width. Tread material is polyurethane bonded to a steel core with Shore A 95 hardness rating. The core is ASTM A36 steel. Mounting uses hex head grade 8 steel bolts. Sealed ball bearings are pre-installed and do not require lubrication after assembly.
Q: Is GWK-WIC1-LW a complete kit or a load wheel only?
A: GWK-WIC1-LW is a complete load wheel kit replacement. It includes load wheels, bearings, axle shaft, and all necessary fasteners. This is a full assembly replacement, not a partial component. Installation is direct replacement with no modifications required to your Wesco 272748 pallet jack.
Q: What tools and safety precautions are needed to install GWK-WIC1-LW?
A: You will need a socket wrench set (typically 8-15mm), a wheel puller if axles are corroded, and blocking material or a hydraulic press for bearing installation if the kit arrives unassembled. Always lower the jack completely and block it before removing wheels. Wear safety glasses when installing. Do not attempt installation if bearings are damaged or corroded. Estimated installation time is 20-40 minutes depending on age of the jack.
Q: When should I replace GWK-WIC1-LW wheels?
A: Replace GWK-WIC1-LW wheels when you observe flat spots greater than 1/8 inch, visible chunks missing from the tread, or if the jack pulls to one side during load movement. Sealed bearings lasting 3-5 years under normal duty; if you hear grinding or feel resistance during wheel rotation, bearings should be replaced. Annual inspection is recommended in high-use environments.
