Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What trucks does the GWK-WLX-LW-XL fit, and what is the load capacity?
A: The GWK-WLX-LW-XL is designed for UniCarriers WLX series 24V AC-powered electric pallet trucks rated up to 4,500 lbs load capacity. Verify your model is UniCarriers WLX before ordering. Do not use on different truck models or weight classes, as it may compromise safety.
Q: What is included in the GWK-WLX-LW-XL kit?
A: The kit includes two Durarun 97A polyurethane load wheel assemblies, each with pre-installed sealed bearings, carbon steel axles, and high-strength fasteners. All components are ready to bolt directly onto your truck; no additional parts are needed for installation.
Q: Can I replace just one wheel, or must I replace both wheels together?
A: This is a two-wheel kit and is designed as a matched pair. Replacing both wheels together ensures balanced load distribution and consistent handling. If only one wheel failed, you may still purchase this kit; the second wheel can be kept as a spare for future maintenance.
Q: Do the wheels require maintenance or lubrication?
A: No. The GWK-WLX-LW-XL wheels feature maintenance-free sealed bearings and high-tensile polyurethane construction. They operate maintenance-free in demanding industrial environments. Do not attempt to relubricate sealed bearings; this will damage them.
Q: What tools and steps are required to install the GWK-WLX-LW-XL?
A: Installation is direct bolt-on: (1) Lift and secure the truck safely. (2) Remove the existing wheel assemblies using a socket wrench or 17mm wrench. (3) Align the new assembly axle with the truck frame. (4) Insert bolts and tighten in a cross pattern to prevent misalignment. (5) Test roll before loading. No welding or modification is needed.
Q: What is the 97A durometer rating, and how does it affect wheel performance?
A: 97A durometer refers to the polyurethane hardness on the Shore A scale. A 97A wheel is harder and more durable than softer compounds, providing excellent load-bearing capacity, abrasion resistance, and longevity in high-wear industrial settings. This hardness is standard for heavy-duty electric truck applications.
