Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the core difference between the standard GWK-PMX45-LW and the GWK-PMX45-LW-XL?
A: Both kits fit BT Prime Mover PMX 45 trucks. The XL variant features machined steel cores, sealed deep groove ball bearings, precision ground steel axles, and Grade 8 fastening hardware for enhanced durability in heavy-duty industrial environments.
Q: Is GWK-PMX45-LW-XL compatible with Crown PMX 45 pallet trucks?
A: The specifications indicate compatibility with Crown PMX 45 models. However, verify that your Crown truck shares the same axle diameter and load wheel pocket dimensions as the BT Prime Mover PMX 45. When in doubt, contact your parts supplier with your truck serial number for confirmation.
Q: Are the bearings in GWK-PMX45-LW-XL sealed?
A: Yes. The kit includes sealed deep groove ball bearings. Sealing prevents water, dust, and dirt from entering the bearing assembly, extending bearing life in dirty warehouse environments. Do not force open the seals or the bearings will fail.
Q: What tools and safety precautions are needed to install GWK-PMX45-LW-XL?
A: Use standard socket and wrench sets to remove retaining bolts. Wear safety glasses. Lock out the truck or use a parking brake so it cannot roll. If the truck is electric, deactivate the battery or engage the handbrake. Installation takes approximately 45 minutes. After installation, test the wheels by rolling the truck by hand before returning it to service.
Q: What axle torque specification should I use for GWK-PMX45-LW-XL?
A: Torque retention bolts to 40 to 50 foot-pounds using a calibrated wrench or torque gun. Grade 8 fasteners require higher tension than standard hardware. Verify torque specs in your truck service manual, as different PMX 45 serial ranges may vary slightly.
Q: How often should I maintain the sealed bearings in GWK-PMX45-LW-XL?
A: Inspect bearings every 500 operating hours or quarterly, whichever comes first. Listen for grinding noise and spin wheels by hand to check for resistance or wobble. Because bearings are sealed, do not attempt to repack them. If a bearing shows damage, replace the entire wheel assembly. Sealed bearings typically last 24 to 36 months in normal use.
