Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between 95A and 97A polyurethane in GWK-RPXT2-LW-XL wheels?
A: 97A is slightly harder than 95A polyurethane. The additional 2-point hardness increase improves wear resistance and reduces deflection under heavy loads, but slightly reduces grip on wet floors. The XL designation likely indicates this kit is optimized for higher-duty cycles or heavier load ratings. Do not mix 95A and 97A wheels on the same truck.
Q: Does GWK-RPXT2-LW-XL fit the standard RPXT2 or is it for an XL variant?
A: Critical mechanical dimensions and load ratings are not published in available sources. The XL designation suggests a variant truck or upgraded capacity version. Contact Barrett with your exact model number and serial range to confirm compatibility. Installing the wrong kit on standard equipment may cause structural damage.
Q: What tools do I need to replace both wheel assemblies in GWK-RPXT2-LW-XL?
A: Standard tool kit: metric socket set, snap-ring pliers or cotter pin removal tool, adjustable wrench, bearing puller (if bearings are press-fit), and a floor jack with proper lifting points on the RPXT2 frame. Consult your RPXT2 service manual for safe lifting procedures. Never work under an unsupported truck.
Q: How long do 97A polyurethane wheels typically last under daily warehouse use?
A: Lifespan depends on usage intensity, floor surface, and load patterns. Polyurethane wheels typically show wear or glazing after 12-24 months of continuous operation. Inspect wheels monthly for flat-spotting, cracking, or hardening. Replace proactively when tread texture diminishes or steering becomes sluggish, rather than waiting for complete failure.
Q: Are replacement parts for GWK-RPXT2-LW-XL available individually or only as a complete kit?
A: The kit includes two 97A polyurethane load wheel assemblies with axles, bearings, and fasteners as a single purchase. Individual component availability is not documented. Contact your Barrett distributor to inquire whether wheels, bearings, or fasteners are sold separately, though complete kit replacement is typically more cost-effective and ensures consistency.
