Product Description
This complete wheel kit is designed for optimal performance with pallet jacks, featuring two ultra-poly (70D) load wheel assemblies and two poly steer wheel assemblies, all equipped with bearings, axles, and fasteners. The ultra-poly wheels offer superior durability and easier maneuverability, making them ideal for rugged environments, while also being non-marking for use on sensitive surfaces.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Total Source, model HJ5500. SKU: GWK-HJ5500-CK

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-HJ5500-CK compatible with both HJ5500 and HJ55 Total Source models?
A: GWK-HJ5500-CK is designed for HJ5500 models. For HJ55 compatibility, use GWK-HJ55-CK instead, though both kits are cross-interchangeable in most cases. Verify frame part numbers match before installation to ensure correct load ratings and mounting geometry.
Q: What is included in the GWK-HJ5500-CK wheel assembly package?
A: GWK-HJ5500-CK includes two ultra-poly (70D durometer) load wheel assemblies, two polyurethane steer wheel assemblies, precision bearings, axle shafts, load wheel axles, washers, lock rings, spiral pins, half-circles, and all necessary fastening hardware. All components arrive factory-installed and ready to mount.
Q: Are the load wheels and steer wheels different materials in GWK-HJ5500-CK?
A: Yes. Load wheels are ultra-polyurethane (70D hardness) for durability and resistance to flat spotting. Steer wheels are standard polyurethane (also 70D). Ultra-poly on load wheels handles sustained heavy weight; softer steer wheel material improves maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue during turns.
Q: Does GWK-HJ5500-CK produce marking on polished concrete floors?
A: No. Both ultra-poly load wheels and polyurethane steer wheels in GWK-HJ5500-CK are non-marking formulations. They will not leave scuffs, discoloration, or residue on sensitive floor surfaces including epoxy, terrazzo, or sealed concrete.
Q: What tools and time should I budget for GWK-HJ5500-CK installation?
A: You will need a socket wrench set, snap ring pliers, a jack stand, and approximately 45 to 60 minutes per jack. Secure the jack on blocks, remove four fastener connections for steer wheels and four for load wheels, align new assemblies, and torque all fasteners. If you are inexperienced, allow two hours per jack.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of GWK-HJ5500-CK wheels under typical warehouse conditions?
A: Under normal warehouse use (20 to 40 hours per week), GWK-HJ5500-CK wheels typically last 18 to 36 months before replacement is necessary. Ultra-poly load wheels degrade faster in high-heat environments or under continuous heavy loads. Inspect quarterly and replace when flat spotting exceeds 1/4 inch depth or visible cracks appear.
