Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the GWK-5LA79-CK complete wheel kit?
A: GWK-5LA79-CK includes two 70D Ultra-Poly load wheel assemblies and two polyurethane steer wheel assemblies, all with integrated bearings, axles, and fasteners. This is a full wheel package for front and rear positions on Dayton Model 5LA79 pallet jacks.
Q: Why do load wheels use 70D hardness while steer wheels are softer?
A: Load wheels (70D) must be extremely hard to withstand vertical load and wear under the jack frame. Steer wheels (softer polyurethane) need flexibility for smooth directional control and shock absorption. Using different hardnesses optimizes durability and handling together.
Q: Is GWK-5LA79-CK compatible with other Dayton models besides 5LA79?
A: No. GWK-5LA79-CK is designed exclusively for Dayton Model 5LA79. Do not attempt to install it on other Dayton models or brands without confirming wheel mount compatibility, axle diameters, and frame geometry first.
Q: Does this complete kit improve operation compared to the original wheels?
A: Yes. Ultra-Poly load wheels and quality polyurethane steer wheels deliver quieter operation, smoother movement, and reduced maintenance compared to standard 92A wheels. Improved traction and floor grip make pushing and steering less fatiguing for operators.
Q: What tools and labor time are required to install GWK-5LA79-CK?
A: Installation requires basic hand tools: socket wrenches, possibly a hydraulic press for bearing installation if wheels are sealed assemblies, and 1 to 2 hours per pallet jack depending on whether old wheels require pressing or bolt removal. Always block the jack securely before removing wheels.
Q: Can I purchase just the load wheels or steer wheels separately from this kit?
A: GWK-5LA79-CK is sold as a complete kit. If you need only load wheels for Model 5LA79, request SKU GWK-5LA79-LW separately. Steer wheel assemblies for this model may be available under a different part number; contact your supplier for individual component availability.
