Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does GWK-ELP55-LW fit all Mobile ELP55 serial numbers, or are there compatibility limits?
A: GWK-ELP55-LW is compatible with Mobile ELP55 pallet jacks manufactured with serial numbers 7-000000 and higher. If your truck has a serial number lower than 7-000000, contact Mobile directly to verify axle bore diameter and bearing specification. Older frames may have different axle designs. Always verify before ordering to avoid returns or fitment issues.
Q: What is the difference between GWK-ELP55-LW and GWK-ELP55-CK?
A: GWK-ELP55-LW contains two load wheel assemblies only. GWK-ELP55-CK is the complete kit with two load wheels and two steer wheels. Order GWK-ELP55-LW if your steer wheels are still serviceable and only the load wheels (under the fork) are worn. Order GWK-ELP55-CK for a full overhaul or if both wheel types show wear. Cost savings with the load-wheel-only kit is typically 20 to 30 percent.
Q: Can I use GWK-ELP55-LW on carpeted or delicate display floors?
A: Yes. The 70D Ultra-Poly wheels have a non-marking tread and are engineered for use on display floors, carpeting, sealed tile, and polished concrete. They do not scuff or leave black marks. However, on thick carpeting, the soft 70D compound may cause the jack to sink slightly; test on a small area first. For outdoor or rough concrete, Ultra-Poly will embed stones and become less effective; use harder wheels in those environments.
Q: What symptoms indicate that the load wheels need replacement?
A: Signs of load wheel wear: flat spots or visible tread loss, the jack pulls to one side during operation, you hear grinding or squeaking noises, the wheels are slower to roll or require pushing with more force, or visible cracks appear in the polyurethane. If the wheel has lost more than 25 percent of its original diameter or has any flat spots longer than 1 inch, replace immediately. Do not continue operating on severely worn wheels; they damage floor surfaces and increase load instability.
Q: Is the bearing sealed, and do I need to grease the wheels?
A: Yes, the wheels have factory-installed sealed roller bearings. No greasing or maintenance is required during normal operation. The seal keeps contaminants out and extends bearing life. If a bearing becomes noisy, stiff, or leaks fluid, the wheel assembly must be replaced as a complete unit; sealed bearings cannot be repacked. Inspect bearing seals quarterly and replace wheels if seals are cracked or fluid is visible.
