Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-EW60-LW-XL and the standard GWK-EW60-LW?
A: The GWK-EW60-LW-XL is an extended configuration variant of the standard GWK-EW60-LW for Baker EW60 electric pallet jacks. Both use identical 97A polyurethane wheels and sealed bearing components. The XL designation indicates a different mounting or physical configuration designed for specific EW60 serial ranges. Verify your jack serial number against parts documentation to select the correct configuration.
Q: Can I substitute GWK-EWR60-LW-XL for the GWK-EW60-LW-XL?
A: The GWK-EWR60-LW-XL is listed as an alternative configuration part number for the same application. Before substitution, verify that your EW60 serial range and load bed mounting points match the alternative part specifications. Contact Baker technical support or review your equipment documentation to confirm cross-compatibility. Using an incorrect alternative configuration can result in improper wheel mounting.
Q: What is the durometer rating of the GWK-EW60-LW-XL wheels and why does it matter?
A: The GWK-EW60-LW-XL wheels are 97A Shore hardness polyurethane. This high durometer prevents floor marking and protects polished or display surfaces better than softer wheels. Higher durometer wheels wear longer and perform better on hard flooring but generate more noise and vibration than softer compounds. The 97A specification is engineered specifically for EW60 load and operational profiles.
Q: Does the GWK-EW60-LW-XL kit include bearings and fasteners?
A: Yes. The GWK-EW60-LW-XL includes two complete 97A polyurethane load wheel assemblies with axles, precision sealed bearings, and all fasteners required for installation. This is a complete wheel replacement kit. No additional parts are needed except standard tools for axle removal and reinstallation on your Baker EW60 jack.
Q: What maintenance is required for the sealed bearings in the GWK-EW60-LW-XL?
A: The precision sealed bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed for the service life of the wheel assembly. Do not attempt to open, clean, or re-lubricate the bearings. If a wheel becomes hard to turn, produces grinding sounds, or shows uneven wear, the bearing assembly must be replaced as a complete wheel unit. Replace both wheels simultaneously to maintain balanced operation.
Q: Will GWK-EW60-LW-XL wheels work on Baker EW80 or other competitor jack models?
A: No. The GWK-EW60-LW-XL is engineered exclusively for Baker EW60 electric pallet jacks. The load bed geometry, axle diameter, fastener standards, and weight capacity of EW80 and other models differ significantly. Installing GWK-EW60-LW-XL wheels on incompatible equipment will cause unsafe operation, improper load distribution, and potential equipment failure. Always verify your exact jack model before ordering.
