Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the wheel diameter and width specifications for the GWK-RPX80B-LW kit?
A: GWK-RPX80B-LW features Durarun 95A polyurethane wheels with a 3.25-inch diameter and 3.75-inch width. The machined carbon steel core provides the base for the polyurethane tread and reduces vibration during operation.
Q: Is the GWK-RPX80B-LW interchangeable with the GWK-RPX80B-LW-XL variant?
A: No. GWK-RPX80B-LW (95A durometer) and GWK-RPX80B-LW-XL (97A durometer) are distinct part numbers. The -XL uses harder polyurethane (97A vs 95A) for higher-load applications. Verify your jack model and load requirements before selecting either variant.
Q: What is the procedure to install the GWK-RPX80B-LW load wheel kit on a Barrett RPX80B?
A: Lift the jack frame securely. Remove the axle fasteners using a socket and Allen wrench. Slide the old wheel assembly off the axle. Position the new GWK-RPX80B-LW wheel kit on the axle, align the bearing holes, and install fasteners. Torque to 40-45 foot-pounds and verify wheel rotation.
Q: What load rating does the GWK-RPX80B-LW support on a Barrett RPX80B pallet jack?
A: The Barrett RPX80B is rated for 5500-pound capacity total. With two GWK-RPX80B-LW wheels, each wheel supports approximately 2750 pounds during load centering. Always verify the jack nameplate rating and do not exceed the manufacturer specification.
Q: What symptoms indicate the GWK-RPX80B-LW wheels are worn and need replacement?
A: Replace wheels when flat-spotting is visible, chunks of polyurethane are missing, or the tread is reduced by more than 50 percent. Squeaking from the bearings, wobbling motion, or loss of grip on polished floors also indicate failure. Wheels that cause steering drift should be replaced immediately.
