Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-102TF-LW and GWK-102TF-LW-XL?
A: GWK-102TF-LW uses 95A durometer wheels for light-to-moderate warehouse use. GWK-102TF-LW-XL uses 97A durometer XL-grade polyurethane for heavy-duty applications. The 97A is harder, resists deformation longer, and lasts 20-30 percent longer. Both kits include axles, bearings, and fasteners. Choose XL for high-volume operations; choose standard for moderate use.
Q: Will 97A wheels on my 102TF scuff the warehouse floor?
A: No. GWK-102TF-LW-XL uses non-marking 97A polyurethane formulation. The compound is engineered to prevent black marks on all floor types including polished concrete, epoxy, and tile. The 97A hardness does not compromise the non-marking property. You get extended durability without floor damage risk.
Q: How long will GWK-102TF-LW-XL wheels last in my warehouse?
A: In heavy warehouse use (loaded, 16+ hours daily, rough concrete), expect 20-28 months. In moderate use (8-12 hours daily, mixed surfaces), expect 28-36 months. The XL-grade 97A material outlasts standard 95A by 20-30 percent. Inspect wheels every 1000 operating hours for flat spots or cracks. Replace immediately if you see damage.
Q: Are the sealed bearings in GWK-102TF-LW-XL the same as standard kits?
A: Yes. Both GWK-102TF-LW and GWK-102TF-LW-XL include identical sealed bearing cartridges that are pre-lubricated and maintenance-free. The only difference is the wheel durometer and grade. Bearing lifespan is 24-36 months regardless of wheel material. Do not attempt to relubricate; sealed bearings cannot be serviced.
Q: Is installation of the XL kit different from the standard kit?
A: No. Installation is identical for both kits. Remove old axle pins, slide off worn wheels, install new GWK-102TF-LW-XL assemblies onto the 102TF frame, and secure with pins and fasteners. Because the kit includes axles and bearings, no additional parts are needed. Total installation time is 1-2 hours with basic hand tools.
Q: What diagnostics confirm my wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels if you observe flat spots deeper than 1/8 inch, visible cracks or gouges, a grinding sound during rolling, steering pull to one side, or battery drain that worsens over weeks. Also inspect axle fasteners for looseness. Worn wheels increase rolling resistance and force the motor to work harder, draining battery charge faster.
