Product Description
This load wheel kit features two Durarun 95A polyurethane load wheel assemblies, complete with axles, bearings, and fasteners, providing an ideal solution for replacing worn pallet jack wheels. The durable polyurethane construction ensures quieter operation and less floor marking compared to traditional materials, while the 95A durometer balances durability and functionality. These wheels are particularly suited for cold storage applications due to their resistance to rust and corrosion and are equally effective in warehouses and factory settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the GWK-EWR80-LW-XL wheel kit a direct replacement for Baker EWR80 pallet jacks?
A: Yes. The GWK-EWR80-LW-XL is designed as a direct-fit replacement for Baker EWR80 electric pallet jack models. It includes two Durarun 95A polyurethane load wheel assemblies with complete axles, sealed bearings, and Grade 8 fasteners. Verify your equipment is EWR80 before ordering—this kit is not compatible with EW60, EW65, or other variants.
Q: What environments is the GWK-EWR80-LW-XL rated for?
A: The GWK-EWR80-LW-XL is engineered for warehouse, display floor, factory, and cold storage conditions. Its polyurethane construction is resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for high-humidity, freezing, and corrosive atmospheres. It performs reliably where debris and metal shavings are present, and the non-marking design protects finished floors and display surfaces.
Q: What is the 95A durometer specification and why does it matter?
A: 95A durometer indicates hardness on the Shore A scale—higher numbers mean harder compound. 95A polyurethane provides excellent wear resistance, reduced rolling resistance, and quieter operation compared to softer 70D wheels. It balances durability for heavy-duty use with adequate grip on smooth warehouse floors. Do not confuse with metric hardness scales—Shore A is the correct specification for pallet jack wheels.
Q: Will the GWK-EWR80-LW-XL wheels work on polished or delicate floors?
A: Yes. The non-marking polyurethane design eliminates black scuff marks and residue on polished concrete, epoxy coatings, and retail display floors. This is critical for food processing facilities, cleanrooms, and retail environments where floor appearance is maintained. The compound does not stain or leave deposits even with extended use.
Q: What is the installation process for the GWK-EWR80-LW-XL kit?
A: Raise the pallet jack with a suitable support mechanism. Disconnect fasteners holding the old wheel assemblies. Slide wheels off the axles and install new Durarun assemblies. Ensure wheels seat fully on axles before applying fasteners. Torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications. Test-spin each wheel by hand to confirm smooth rotation with no play or grinding sounds.
Q: How often should I inspect the GWK-EWR80-LW-XL wheels for wear?
A: Inspect monthly under heavy use or quarterly under normal warehouse conditions. Look for flat spots, cracks, embedded debris, or uneven wear patterns. Check that bearings spin freely without noise or drag. If wheels no longer roll smoothly or show visible surface degradation, schedule replacement immediately. Delayed replacement risks loader safety and can damage the jack frame through vibration and binding.
