Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the compatibility range for the GWK-MPE060VG-LW kit?
A: This kit is engineered exclusively for Yale MPE060VG electric pallet jacks. The MPE060VG model differs from MPE060E in frame geometry and drivetrain configuration. Do not use this kit on MPE060E models or any other Yale model. Always verify your pallet jack model number matches MPE060VG before ordering. Check the factory plate on the jack frame for definitive model identification.
Q: What durometer rating are the Durarun polyurethane wheels and what does 95A hardness mean for performance?
A: The wheels are rated 95A Shore hardness on the durometer scale. This rating means the wheels balance load capacity with floor protection and rolling ease. 95A is the industry standard for indoor warehouse electric pallet jacks because it resists marking and deformation under sustained 6,000+ pound loads while maintaining smooth rolling on concrete. Higher ratings increase durability; lower ratings increase floor protection.
Q: Are the precision bearings and steel core construction covered by warranty if they fail in the field?
A: Warranty terms depend on your distributor or supplier. Typically, OEM load wheel kits carry a 12-month or 2,000 operating hour warranty against manufacturing defects such as bearing failure or axle cracking. Warranty does not cover damage from overloading, impact, neglect, or normal wear and tear. Keep your purchase receipt and report bearing noise or wobble within 30 days for warranty consideration.
Q: What maintenance routine prevents premature bearing or axle failure?
A: Inspect wheels every 500 operating hours for cracks, flat spots, or noise. Keep the axle area free of debris and moisture. If the kit uses grease fittings, apply 2-3 pumps of NLGI grade 2 lithium grease monthly or per operating schedule. Do not overgrease; it causes drag and bearing overheating. Operate the jack on smooth, level floors at controlled speed. Do not exceed the 6,000-pound load limit.
Q: Can I replace just the wheels or must I replace the entire assembly if wheels wear out?
A: The entire load wheel assembly must be replaced. The polyurethane wheels are bonded or pressed onto steel hubs that contain the precision bearings. Removing or replacing individual wheels requires specialized equipment and will damage the assembly. When wheels show flat spots, cracks, or uneven wear, order the complete GWK-MPE060VG-LW kit and replace both load wheels as a pair.
Q: Is installation a bolt-on replacement or does it require bearing press equipment?
A: Installation complexity depends on your current wheel attachment method. If the old wheels are bolted on and the axles are not damaged, this kit may be a direct bolt-on replacement. However, if the old wheels are pressed onto the axles, you will need a bearing press or wheel puller to remove them and install the new assembly. Do not use hammers or mallets; this damages the axles. Use a qualified maintenance facility if you lack specialized equipment.
