Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-MPE080VG-LW compatible with Yale MPE080E pallet jacks or only MPE080VG?
A: GWK-MPE080VG-LW is designed for Yale MPE080VG models only. Do not substitute on MPE080E models. Although both are Yale A890 Series electric pallet jacks, mounting points and wheel specifications differ. Using the wrong kit may result in misalignment or improper load distribution.
Q: What does 70D hardness mean and how does it compare to 95A or 97A wheels?
A: 70D (Shore D scale) is significantly softer than 95A or 97A (Shore A scale). 70D wheels are more flexible, grip wet or uneven surfaces better, and wear slower. 95A/97A wheels are stiffer, roll faster on smooth concrete, and resist abrasion longer. GWK-MPE080VG-LW uses 95A load wheel assemblies, suitable for continuous warehouse use on hard floors.
Q: Are the load wheels non-marking and will they stain concrete floors?
A: Yes, GWK-MPE080VG-LW features non-marking polyurethane wheels engineered not to transfer black rubber residue or stains to clean concrete. They are shatterproof and will not chip or splinter under impact or heavy shock loads. Non-marking wheels are essential for food, pharmaceutical, and electronics warehouses where floor appearance matters.
Q: How many load wheel assemblies are included in GWK-MPE080VG-LW?
A: GWK-MPE080VG-LW includes two 95A load wheel assemblies, complete with matched axles, sealed ball bearings, and fastener hardware. All components are zinc-plated and ready for direct installation. This kit covers both front wheels on one pallet jack frame.
Q: What is the expected service life of non-marking 95A wheels under warehouse use?
A: Non-marking 95A wheels typically last 10 to 15 months under continuous high-duty warehouse operation—slightly shorter than standard 97A wheels because non-marking compounds are softer. Rate of wear depends on floor surface, load weight, and daily hours. Replace when worn more than 0.25 inch below nominal diameter or when cracking appears.
Q: Do I need to apply lubricant or maintenance oil to these wheel assemblies?
A: No. GWK-MPE080VG-LW bearings are sealed and factory-filled with lifetime grease. Applying external lubricant can attract dust and damage the seal. Clean wheels periodically with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use oil-based cleaners that may degrade the polyurethane compound.
