You need to replace the load wheels on your pallet jack.

Your load wheels are worn?


Here are step-by-step instructions on how to replace them.
It's easier than you might think!


Removal of worn load wheels

  • Raise forks to full lift height.
  • Turn the jack upside down. Here is a video that shows you how to safely turn the jack.

  • Remove the load wheel axle fastener using two 3/4" wrenches (LCU) or a 3/8" Allen wrench (CF).

  • Slide the load wheel axle out. When removing a badly rusted or damaged axle use a 1/2" pin punch and hammer to drive the axle out.

Always replace both wheels!

Installation of the new wheels

  • Install sleeve into load wheel bearing and position washers on sleeve - one on each side of the wheel.
  • Place load wheel, sleeve, and washers inside bracket assembly in line with holes in the bracket with sleeve.

  • Insert axle through bracket, securing load wheel. Install lock nut and tighten. Same on the other fork.


That's it! You can also watch our step-by-step video on how to replace the load wheels.

Need to order new load wheels? We have a wide selection of different material wheels for most brands of pallet jacks.

And if you need new steer wheels too, order the pre-packaged wheel kits
you get the high quality wheels, and the hardware - axles, washers, etc. - comes for free. 
We recommend to have an extra kit on hand as to avoid costly downtime.

Parts for Gravity Conveyors


GRAVITY CONVEYORS
Conveyors have long been an important technology allowing factories,  processors, and warehouses to blossom and grow into the industries we know today.  Since the late 1800’s conveyors are one of the most economical material-handling solutions and have played a major role in increasing efficiency by facilitating the transport of products and goods.  
An unpowered gravity conveyor transports goods and materials with sufficient weight to allow them to move unassisted.  The typical gravity conveyor consists of rows of small rollers or skate-wheels which are mounted in frames generally sloped in a downward, typically on a slightly inclined runway.  Gravity conveyors may be used to move boxes, cartons, and totes with firm bottoms. Roller or skate wheel sizes, as well as spacing, will vary. A good rule of thumb is that a minimum of three rollers must be under the box, carton or tote at all times.


  1. NF 016131 - Impact roller
  2. NF 016436 - 6” Caster leg w/brake (Square leg Nestaflex 376)
  3. NF 016435 - 6” Caster leg, no brake (Square leg Nestaflex 376)
  4. NF 006428 - 5” Caster leg, no brake (Round leg Nestaflex 375)
  5. NF 003404 - Coupler
  6. NF 000047 - Skate wheel
  7. NF 017792-001 - Handle kit (Round leg Nestaflex 375)

And many more!

Common Replacement Parts for Electric Lift Trucks and Forklilfts


Common Replacement Parts
for Electric Lift Trucks and Forklifts

Tip: Less machine downtime = more productivity, and a better ROI over your equipment's life cycle.




  • Have you got a leak? Most common leak points are hoses. Check hoses for cracked rubber and exposed wire structure. Make sure the contact points are properly sealed.  Generic Parts Service carries a huge inventory of hosesindustrial seal kits, and lift truck seal kits. We have kits for the leading manufacturers of pallet jacks, material handling equipment, dump trucks, farming equipment, and logging equipment.

  • Are you having travel or lift issues? Check for leaks, cracks, and wear. We have seal kits, mast parts and everything you need to get moving.
  • Are you having electrical issues, including problems with buttons, switches, pedals or other electrical parts? Make sure wires are not broken or chafe against each other. Switches can mechanically break or corrode. We have a large selection of buttons, boards, switches, wiring harnesses, and pedals as well as many other commonly replaced items.



  • Are your important safety features, like horns, alarms, and lights in good working order? Some of these wear over time, but most suffer damage. Check your warehouse for obstructions and damage points. Install the accessories inside the overhead guard or within the body of the machine. If broken: We have all of these accessories and more to keep your equipment up to safety standards.



  • Are your seatbelts and seats in good working order?  In most cases, the entire seat assembly (seat belt, seat) needs to be replaced to fix the reported issue.  We have aftermarket replacement seats and seat belts for a wide variety of machines.
  • How is the condition of your frame and undercarriage? Making sure your frame and undercarriage are in good working order maximizes worker and product safety as well as the working life of your equipment. We have bushings, tension bars, link assemblies, riser assemblies and more to keep you operating safely.
  • Have you replaced your batteries but they are still having trouble charging up? Battery life should be roughly 5 years but many factors can influence that. Make sure your battery has enough water and check regularly. We have replacement battery chargers and battery connectors for most brands..

  • Have you inspected your wheels lately? Chunked or worn tires or load wheels? We carry wheel kits for most brands of forklifts. Kits include two load wheel assemblies with bearings pressed, along with axles and fasteners.  We also have the drive tires and caster assemblies you need.
