Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-PMX1-LW and GWK-PMX1-LW-XL?
A: Both kits fit the PMX1 model and include 95A durometer wheels. The GWK-PMX1-LW-XL is an aftermarket variant with factory-preinstalled precision roller bearings and extended retention hardware. Choose the XL version for heavier-duty applications or if your truck requires enhanced bearing preload specifications.
Q: Can I use GWK-PMX1-LW-XL wheels on a PMX 45 truck?
A: No. The GWK-PMX1-LW-XL is designed only for PMX1 walkie pallet trucks. Axle diameter, bearing pocket dimensions, and load ratings differ between PMX1 and PMX 45 models. Using on PMX 45 will result in poor fitment and unsafe operation.
Q: Are the roller bearings in GWK-PMX1-LW-XL sealed or open?
A: The kit includes precision roller bearings with factory preinstallation. Sealed bearings are standard to resist moisture and contamination in warehouse environments. If bearings seize during installation or operation, clean thoroughly and repack with compatible grease.
Q: Do I need to grease the GWK-PMX1-LW-XL wheels after installation?
A: No initial greasing is required because bearings arrive preinstalled. During maintenance, inspect bearing condition every six months. If wheels become noisy or spin slowly, apply a light lithium-based bearing grease to the axle ends. Do not overgrease, as excess lubricant attracts dirt.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for the GWK-PMX1-LW-XL wheels?
A: The wheels are rated for the PMX1 truck capacity of 2,500 to 3,000 pounds, depending on your truck serial range. Never exceed the load capacity of your specific truck model. Overloading damages wheels and bearings and voids warranty.
Q: How do I know when to replace GWK-PMX1-LW-XL wheels?
A: Replace when polyurethane tread shows cracks, flattening, or surface degradation; when bearing noise increases; or if wheels slip on ramps when fully loaded. Inspect visually every three months in high-use environments.
