Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-B80ZHD-LW compatible with the standard B80Z model?
A: No. GWK-B80ZHD-LW is exclusive to the Hyster B80ZHD electric pallet jack. The HD designation indicates a heavy-duty frame variant with different axle mounts and wheel mounting geometry. Installing this kit on a non-HD model will cause misalignment. If you operate a standard B 80Z, order GWK-B80Z-LW-XL. Always verify your equipment model on the truck nameplate before purchasing.
Q: Why does GWK-B80ZHD-LW use 95A Durarun wheels instead of 97A?
A: GWK-B80ZHD-LW specifies 95A Durarun polyurethane, a mid-range durometer that balances durability with traction and noise control. Durarun is a premium compound that resists wear and reduces maintenance. The 95A rating is ideal for mixed-use environments such as warehouses and loading docks where you need good floor grip without excessive noise or vibration. If you need maximum wear resistance, upgrade to the XL variant GWK-B80ZHD-LW-XL which offers 97A durometer.
Q: Are the wheels non-marking on GWK-B80ZHD-LW?
A: Yes. GWK-B80ZHD-LW wheels are non-marking polyurethane, designed to leave no residue or scuff marks on polished floors, tile, or painted concrete. This makes them ideal for retail environments, clean rooms, and display areas. The non-marking formula does not degrade over time; wheels remain clean-operating throughout their lifespan. Avoid contact with oils, solvents, or harsh cleaners which can compromise the non-marking surface.
Q: What tools are needed to install GWK-B80ZHD-LW wheels?
A: You need wrenches or sockets matching your jack hardware, typically 8mm through 12mm sizes. The kit includes axles, bearings, and fasteners, so no additional components are required. Lift the jack on a secure stand or block to access wheels. Remove the cotter pins and bolts securing old wheels, slide off the wheels and bearings, clean the axles, then install new bearings and wheels. Reattach fasteners and verify smooth rotation before lowering. A torque wrench ensures fasteners are tightened to proper spec.
Q: How long should GWK-B80ZHD-LW wheels last?
A: Lifespan depends on duty cycle and surface conditions. In light duty use on smooth floors, expect 2 to 4 years. In heavy continuous use on rough concrete, expect 12 to 18 months. Durarun 95A compound resists wear better than standard polyurethane, extending lifespan by 30 to 50 percent compared to basic wheels. Regular inspections and prompt maintenance of bearings and axles will maximize wheel life. Replace immediately if wheels are flat-spotted, cracked, or no longer grip the floor.
Q: What is the recommended load capacity when operating GWK-B80ZHD-LW wheels?
A: The B80ZHD frame rating is typically 6000 to 8000 pounds depending on your specific unit. Check your truck nameplate for exact capacity. GWK-B80ZHD-LW wheels are engineered for heavy-duty service and will not be the limiting factor. Operating at or near maximum capacity continuously will accelerate wheel wear and bearing degradation. For extended equipment life, stay 10 to 15 percent below nameplate capacity during regular operation.
