Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Crown Equipment part number 310700-204-KIT compatible with the GWK-EPJ30-LW?
A: Yes. Crown Equipment 310700-204-KIT is the OEM equivalent to GWK-EPJ30-LW for Blue Giant model EPJ30 pallet jacks. Both kits contain two Durarun 95A poly load wheel assemblies with identical axle and bearing specifications. Order GWK-EPJ30-LW for the aftermarket alternative with equivalent performance and lower cost.
Q: What is the hardness specification for the Durarun wheels in this kit?
A: The GWK-EPJ30-LW wheels are polyurethane with a Shore hardness rating of 95A. This harder compound compared to softer wheels provides reduced rolling resistance and improved durability for sustained use. The 95A durometer is ideal for warehouse operations on smooth concrete and sealed floors without floor marking.
Q: What materials are the axles and fasteners made from?
A: The GWK-EPJ30-LW kit includes hardened steel axles with lubrication fittings for maintenance. Fasteners are roll pins and threaded retention screws. The lubrication fittings allow periodic greasing to extend axle and bearing life. Use a light machine oil or bearing grease; do not use heavy automotive grease as it attracts debris.
Q: Can these wheels be used on Blue Giant model EPJ40 instead of EPJ30?
A: No. The GWK-EPJ30-LW is engineered for Blue Giant model EPJ30 only. The EPJ40 model uses different axle diameters and load specifications. Installing EPJ30 wheels on an EPJ40 will result in improper fit and unsafe operation. Always verify your lift truck model before ordering replacement wheels.
Q: How do I apply grease to the lubrication fittings on the axles?
A: Locate the grease fitting on each axle near the wheel hub. Use a standard grease gun with a coupler to attach and pump 2 to 3 shots of bearing grease into each fitting monthly or after 40 operating hours. Wipe excess grease to prevent dirt accumulation. Over-greasing causes bearing seal failure; use only the recommended amount.
Q: What indicates that GWK-EPJ30-LW wheels need replacement?
A: Replace wheels when you observe: visible cracks or chunks missing from the tread, grinding noises during operation indicating bearing damage, flat spots on the wheel face reducing traction, or excessive wheel wobble. Also replace if wheels have been exposed to high heat above 140°F or prolonged contact with oils or solvents that degrade polyurethane.
