Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does GWK-5LA79-LW include, and what does it not include?
A: GWK-5LA79-LW includes two 70D Ultra-Poly load wheel assemblies with chromium steel shielded bearings, axles, and all fasteners. It does not include steer wheels. Use this kit when replacing only the front load-bearing wheels on Dayton Model 5LA79 pallet jacks.
Q: How do I know if GWK-5LA79-LW will fit my Dayton pallet jack?
A: GWK-5LA79-LW fits Dayton Model 5LA79 manual pallet jacks only. Check your jack nameplate or data plate for the model number. If your jack model differs, the wheel mounting diameter, axle bore size, or frame geometry may not match, causing poor fitment or safety issues.
Q: Why are chromium steel shielded bearings used in this kit?
A: Chromium steel resists rust and corrosion in humid, outdoor, or wet environments. Shielded bearings keep contaminants and moisture away from rolling surfaces, extending lifespan and reducing friction. This design ensures smooth operation even in demanding warehouse or dock conditions.
Q: Can I install GWK-5LA79-LW on the rear steer axle position?
A: No. These are load wheels designed for the front axle under the hydraulic mechanism. Installing them at the rear steer position will cause poor steering response, uneven wear, and reduced safety. Use the correct steer wheel assembly for the rear.
Q: What maintenance is required after installing GWK-5LA79-LW?
A: After installation, perform a visual inspection monthly: check for cracks, flat spots, or debris in bearing shields. Spin wheels freely to confirm smooth rotation. Every 6 months, wipe bearing shields with a dry cloth. Replace wheels when hardness loss causes traction problems or visible damage appears, typically after 2 to 3 years of regular use.
Q: Is the non-marking property of Ultra-Poly permanent, or does it degrade over time?
A: Non-marking is a formulation property that does not degrade with time or wear. The 70D material will not shed color or leave stains. However, if wheels become cracked or decompose, debris could theoretically stain floors. Replace wheels when structural integrity fails, not for loss of non-marking properties.
