Product Description
This load wheel kit includes two Ultra-Poly (70D) load wheel assemblies, complete with bearings, axles, and fasteners, designed to enhance the performance of pallet jacks. The durable wheels roll more smoothly than standard 92A polyurethane wheels and offer resistance to shattering, making them suitable for a variety of environments, including cold-storage and factory floors.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Hu Lift, model BST. SKU: GWK-BST-LW

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which pallet jacks does the GWK-BST-LW fit?
A: The GWK-BST-LW load wheel kit is compatible with Hu Lift BST model pallet jacks only. Do not attempt to install on other Hu Lift models or brands, as wheel mounting dimensions and axle specifications differ.
Q: What makes the 70D Ultra-Poly wheels different from standard options?
A: The 70D Ultra-Poly compound rolls more smoothly than standard 92A polyurethane wheels and resists shattering when exposed to cold temperatures or impacts. This makes them ideal for cold storage, factory floors with metal shavings and debris, and demanding warehouse environments where standard wheels fail prematurely.
Q: Can these wheels handle cold storage environments?
A: Yes. Unlike standard 92A polyurethane that becomes brittle and prone to cracking in freezing conditions, the 70D Ultra-Poly formulation maintains flexibility and impact resistance in cold storage. They are rated for use in environments between 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q: What is included in the GWK-BST-LW kit?
A: The kit includes two Ultra-Poly 70D load wheel assemblies complete with precision bearings, axles, and stainless steel fasteners. All components are pre-assembled except installation onto the jack.
Q: How often do these wheels need maintenance or replacement?
A: With normal warehouse use, expect 18 to 24 months of service. In cold storage or high-debris environments with continuous operation, monitor wheels monthly for flat spots and wear. Replace immediately if you notice reduced rolling performance, uneven wear patterns, or if the wheel diameter decreases by more than 1/4 inch.
