Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is GWK-MPB030AB-LW compatible with both Manual and Electric pallet jacks?
A: GWK-MPB030AB-LW is engineered specifically for Yale MPB030AB electric pallet jacks. This part is not compatible with manual pallet jacks or other electric models. The wheel interface and bearing specifications are unique to the MPB030AB series. Always verify your jack model nameplate and part compatibility before ordering. Consult the parts manual if unsure.
Q: What does the 95A Shore durometer rating mean for Durarun wheels?
A: 95A Shore hardness indicates a durable, load-bearing polyurethane compound under the Shore A scale. Durarun is a brand name for high-performance polyurethane used in electric lift equipment. The 95A rating provides excellent load capacity, cut and abrasion resistance, and floor protection. This is a standard specification for electric pallet jacks. Do not substitute softer materials as load capacity will be compromised.
Q: Why does GWK-MPB030AB-LW specify both 3.00 inch diameter and 3.25 inch width?
A: The 3.00 inch nominal diameter is the outside measurement of the wheel. The 3.25 inch nominal width is the distance across the wheel from side to side. These dimensions are precise for the MPB030AB model. The width of 3.25 inches allows the wheel to operate within the narrow width constraints of electric pallet jack carriages. Do not order wheels with different dimensions.
Q: Does GWK-MPB030AB-LW include all installation hardware or are additional fasteners needed?
A: GWK-MPB030AB-LW is a complete kit that includes precision bearings, the machined steel hub, compatible axles, and all fasteners required for installation. No additional hardware is required. The kit is designed to be bolt-on compatible with MPB030AB electric jacks. Verify that all fasteners are tightened securely after installation to prevent wheel movement.
Q: Can you explain the relationship between the 95A polyurethane tread and the machined hub?
A: The 95A polyurethane tread is bonded to a precision machined hub made from steel. The tread provides wear resistance, load capacity, and floor protection. The machined hub ensures exact concentricity so the wheel rolls without wobble or vibration. SAE 104 steel is a standard specification for precision hub machining. This construction method ensures reliable performance under the continuous operation demands of electric pallet jacks.
Q: What is the expected service life of GWK-MPB030AB-LW in continuous warehouse operation?
A: With regular use in typical warehouse environments, GWK-MPB030AB-LW wheels typically provide 12 to 24 months of service life. Service life is shorter than manual jack wheels because electric jacks operate more frequently and at higher speeds. Life expectancy depends on average daily hours, floor surface quality, load weight, and maintenance. Inspect wheels monthly and replace when tread depth is less than 2mm or visible damage occurs.
