Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Baker models is the GWK-EW80-LW-XL compatible with?
A: The GWK-EW80-LW-XL is designed as an extended configuration for Baker EW80 and EW60 electric pallet jacks. The XL designation indicates a specific mounting or dimensional variant. Although both EW60 and EW80 are listed, verify your exact jack serial range against parts documentation before ordering to confirm the XL configuration is correct for your equipment. Incorrect configurations can cause unsafe mounting.
Q: Is the wheel material composition different between GWK-EW80-LW and GWK-EW80-LW-XL?
A: Both the GWK-EW80-LW and GWK-EW80-LW-XL feature polyurethane wheels with a 95A durometer hardness rating. The material composition is identical. The XL designation refers to the physical configuration or mounting arrangement, not the wheel compound. Both configurations provide equivalent floor protection, wear resistance, and quiet operation on warehouse and display surfaces.
Q: What bearing material is specified for the GWK-EW80-LW-XL wheels?
A: The GWK-EW80-LW-XL uses precision sealed steel bearings. These are pre-lubricated and sealed for the service life of the wheel. Steel bearing construction provides durability and allows the wheels to handle the full load capacity of EW80 and EW60 jacks without bearing failure under normal operating conditions. Do not replace bearings individually. Replace the entire wheel assembly if bearing failure occurs.
Q: What is the axle construction material on the GWK-EW80-LW-XL?
A: The GWK-EW80-LW-XL features a hardened steel shaft axle with a ground finish. The hardened steel construction prevents bending, cracking, or permanent deformation under the rated load capacity of EW80 and EW60 equipment. The ground finish reduces friction and ensures smooth wheel rotation. Do not attempt to straighten a bent axle. Replace the complete wheel assembly with a new unit.
Q: Does the GWK-EW80-LW-XL provide a direct replacement for existing EW60 and EW80 wheels?
A: The GWK-EW80-LW-XL is designed as a direct replacement for EW60 and EW80 load wheels, but the XL configuration requires compatibility verification. Verify that your jack serial range and load bed mounting points match the XL specifications before installation. Contact Baker technical support if you are uncertain whether XL is correct for your equipment to avoid improper installation and safety issues.
Q: What are the performance benefits of GWK-EW80-LW-XL wheels on carpeted and soft surfaces?
A: The 95A durometer polyurethane wheels compress slightly on carpeted flooring, providing better contact and traction compared to harder wheels. This improves handling stability and reduces the risk of jack tipping on uneven carpet or soft surfaces. The wheels absorb shock and vibration, providing smoother operation and reduced strain on the equipment. However, do not exceed the rated load capacity even with improved traction.
