Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does black ultra-poly construction tell me about GWK-CPI-LW durability?
A: Black ultra-poly indicates pigmented, premium-grade polyurethane formulation. The black pigment provides UV stability if wheels are ever exposed to sunlight (preventing degradation). Ultra-poly outperforms standard poly in abrasion resistance and lifespan. With 70D Shore hardness, black ultra-poly load wheels are engineered for industrial heavy-duty environments with high cycle counts. Expected lifespan is 18 to 24 months under normal continuous use.
Q: Does GWK-CPI-LW include steer wheels or only load wheels?
A: GWK-CPI-LW includes only the two load wheel assemblies (front wheels). It does not include steer wheels (rear wheels). Order this kit if the front load wheels are worn but your rear steer wheels are still functional. If both front and rear wheels are damaged, order GWK-CPI-CK, the complete kit. Verify wheel condition on both ends before deciding which kit to purchase.
Q: Are the wheels in GWK-CPI-LW safe for display floors and carpeting?
A: Yes. The non-marking polyurethane construction does not leave black residue on floors. GWK-CPI-LW wheels are safe for polished concrete, tile, carpet, and retail display areas. The wheels do not stain or scuff floors under normal operation. If wheels are new, roll the jack over cardboard a few times in a test area first to ensure no initial marking occurs before putting the jack into service on sensitive flooring.
Q: Can I use GWK-CPI-LW wheels on a Clark CJ55 pallet jack if I only need load wheels?
A: No. GWK-CPI-LW is sized for Wesco CPI jacks. The wheel bore diameter and axle interface are engineered for CPI specifications only. Attempting to force CPI wheels onto CJ55 axles will cause a poor fit, binding, and safety hazards. Each manufacturer uses different wheel interfaces. Always order wheels matching your jack brand and model, even if the wheel appearance seems similar.
Q: How often should I inspect GWK-CPI-LW wheels for wear?
A: Inspect every 6 months or every 500 to 1000 operating hours, whichever comes first. Look for flat spots, visible cracks, chunks missing from the polyurethane, or uneven wear patterns. Spin each wheel by hand to verify it rolls freely without grinding or resistance. Replace wheels immediately if you notice any of these signs. Do not wait until wheels lock up or cause handling problems; proactive replacement prevents jack downtime and operator injury risk.
