Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a complete kit (CK) and a load wheel only kit (LW)?
A: The GWK-272746-CK is a complete steering and load wheel kit. It replaces both the load wheels and steer wheels along with all bearings, axles, and fasteners. The LW variant includes only load wheels. Choose CK if your steer wheels also need replacement.
Q: Is the GWK-272746-CK compatible with Wesco 272744 or 272748 jacks?
A: No. The GWK-272746-CK is engineered specifically for the Wesco 272746 manual pallet jack. Do not attempt to use on other models. Verify your jack model before ordering.
Q: What material are the steer wheels on the GWK-272746-CK?
A: The steer wheels are polyurethane molded-on construction. The load wheels are Ultra-Polyurethane 70 Shore D durometer. Both are non-marking and suitable for warehouse and display floor use.
Q: How do I know when to replace the wheels?
A: Replace wheels when tread is worn smooth, you notice flat spots, the jack pulls to one side, or wheels make squeaking noises despite lubrication. Tread wear is the primary indicator for load wheels. Steer wheels may show faster wear on the outer edge if alignment is off.
Q: Can I mix and match wheel types on the same jack?
A: No. Always replace wheels as matched sets for your specific model. Mixing hardness levels or wheel types creates uneven rolling, steering problems, and handling difficulties.
Q: What tools are required to install the GWK-272746-CK?
A: You will need a wheel puller or bearing puller to remove old wheels, a socket set for axle bolts, and an arbor press or bench press to install new wheels onto axles. Improper installation can damage bearings. Consider professional installation if you lack proper equipment.
