Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key differences between GWK-8410-LW and GWK-8410-LW-XL?
A: GWK-8410-LW-XL features 97A Shore polyurethane with a machined steel hub core instead of polymer. Steel hubs maintain shape under sustained load, resist permanent deformation, and support longer service intervals. Both kits fit Raymond 8410 models identically, but XL is designed for high-duty applications and provides superior wheel longevity.
Q: Is the installation process for GWK-8410-LW-XL the same as standard load wheel kits?
A: Yes. Installation is identical: disconnect battery, secure the jack on stands, remove old fasteners, press out old bearings, install new sealed bearings, install wheel assemblies, torque fasteners per OEM spec, and test operation. The XL wheels are heavier due to steel cores, but they mount using the same axle design and fastener pattern as the standard kit.
Q: Why should I choose GWK-8410-LW-XL for a high-traffic warehouse?
A: The 97A tread resists flat-spotting and abrasive wear better than 95A wheels. Steel hubs do not deform under repeated heavy loads, maintaining consistent steering and reducing operator fatigue. In high-traffic settings, XL wheels reduce replacement frequency from 12-18 months to 18-24 months, lowering maintenance costs over time.
Q: Are the sealed bearings in GWK-8410-LW-XL the same type as non-XL kits?
A: Both kits use sealed deep groove ball bearings, type BS 6205 2RS, with contact rubber seals on both sides. The bearings are identical and maintenance-free. The difference is in the wheel core material. Do not attempt to repack or regrease these sealed bearings; replace the entire wheel assembly when bearing noise occurs.
Q: What is the typical warranty or lifespan expectation for GWK-8410-LW-XL?
A: Expect 18 to 24 months of service in normal warehouse operation. Rough surfaces and extreme loads may shorten lifespan. Inspect wheels every 6 months for cracks or uneven wear. Most facilities find XL kits cost-effective compared to standard kits because replacement intervals extend and downtime decreases, improving fleet availability.
