Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the GW 825 wheel come with bearings installed or do I need to purchase them separately?
A: GW 825 wheel does not include bearings. You must purchase sealed ball bearings separately that match your axle bore size. This is a wheel body only with 3.25 x 4.5 dimensions designed for Hy-Load equipment. Confirm your bearing ID (typically 17mm for pallet jacks) before ordering bearings to avoid compatibility issues.
Q: What bearing size and type do I need to install in the GW 825 wheel?
A: Measure your current axle bore diameter to determine the correct bearing ID. Most electric pallet jacks use 17mm sealed ball bearings for 3.25 x 4.5 wheels. Confirm the bearing width is compatible with your axle design. Using incorrect bearing size will cause wobbling, premature wear, and potential wheel failure under load.
Q: Is GW 825 equivalent to GW 820-A or other Hy-Load wheel part numbers?
A: GW 825 is a Hy-Load branded wheel with the same 3.25 x 4.5 dimensions as GW 820-A. The main difference is that GW 825 does not include bearings. If you need a complete wheel assembly with bearings already installed, order GW 820-A instead. If you already have compatible bearings or need a wheel body only, GW 825 is the correct choice.
Q: Can I use GW 825 as a direct replacement for my existing wheel?
A: GW 825 is a direct replacement if your current wheel is 3.25 x 4.5 inches and your axle bore matches standard pallet jack sizes (usually 17mm). However, since GW 825 does not include bearings, you must remove and reuse your current bearings or purchase new ones. Verify that your existing bearings are still in good condition before reusing them.
Q: What tools and skills are needed to install GW 825 wheels with bearings?
A: You will need a bearing press, arbor press, or shop press to safely seat the wheel onto the axle. Hand pressing can damage bearings and seals. Do not attempt to hammer the wheel onto the axle. If you do not have a press, send the wheel and axle to a professional service center. Improper installation voids any warranty.
