Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does GWK-Eagle55-LW fit Eagle 55 pallet jacks with all serial numbers?
A: Yes. GWK-Eagle55-LW is compatible with all Eagle 55 manual pallet jacks from serial number 7-000000 and higher. If your jack has a serial number lower than 7-000000, verify the axle diameter and bolt pattern before ordering. Most production units from 7-000000 onward share identical load wheel mounting specifications.
Q: Does this kit include steer wheels, or is it load wheels only?
A: GWK-Eagle55-LW includes load wheel assemblies only. It does not include steer wheels. This kit is a partial replacement, suitable if only the front load wheels need service. If both load and steer wheels require replacement, order GWK-Eagle55-CK instead, which is the comprehensive kit.
Q: What should I check before installing GWK-Eagle55-LW to ensure proper fit?
A: Before installation, measure the axle diameter and confirm it is 16 millimeters. Visually inspect the axle shaft for corrosion, scoring, or bending; a corroded or bent axle must be replaced or the new wheels will bind and fail prematurely. Check that the mounting flange on each side of the frame has four bolt holes in a standard pattern spaced 2.5 inches apart. If the axle or frame geometry is damaged, address those issues before installing new wheels.
Q: Why are the 70D ultra-poly wheels on GWK-Eagle55-LW non-marking?
A: The 70D polyurethane compound is formulated without carbon black or other dark pigments that cause floor marks. The wheels are rated non-marking on polished concrete, sealed wood, retail display floors, and carpeted areas. However, non-marking status does not prevent scuffs from rapid direction changes or spins under load. On very delicate surfaces such as museum flooring or athlete performance areas, verify compatibility with a small test area first.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the GWK-Eagle55-LW wheels before replacement?
A: Under typical warehouse conditions (5 to 8 hours per day on smooth concrete), expect 2 to 4 years or 500 to 800 operating hours before visible wear or flat-spotting requires replacement. In harsh environments (rough concrete, outdoor use, or extended cold storage at freezing temperatures), lifespan reduces to 1 to 2 years. Regular inspections every 6 months will help you plan maintenance before catastrophic failure occurs.
