How Do I Identify My GoJak® Model?
Identify your GoJak® model by its frame, casters, rollers, and handle configuration.
Over the last 40+ years, Zendex Tool Corp. has manufactured numerous GoJak® models. After years of service the original identification labels or decals can become worn, damaged, or missing. Fortunately, you can still identify most GoJak models by examining a few key design features.
Correct model and vintage identification is important for:
- Ordering the correct OEM replacement parts
- Confirming load capacity
- Ensuring safe operation
Important: Genuine GoJak® wheel dollies are manufactured in our signature fuschia color. If your dolly is a different color, verify that it is an authentic GoJak product before ordering replacement parts.
What You'll Need
- Tape measure or calipers
- Good lighting
- Access to both sides of the GoJak

Step 1 — Examine the Casters
Caster design is one of the quickest ways to identify a GoJak.
Current Pro Series (G5211 • G5211L • G6313 • G6313L) and Performance Series (G4520 • G6520) models use zinc plated casters with fuschia bearing seal rings.
Measure the caster wheel diameter using a tape measure or calipers. Combined with the frame style, this measurement quickly narrows the possible models.
Step 2 — Identify the 6000 SeriesG6000 • G6200 • G6313
Look for:
- Two different caster sizes on the same unit
- One larger caster
- One smaller caster
This mixed-caster configuration is one of the easiest ways to identify these higher-capacity models.
G5000 • G5200 • G5211
Look for:
- Four casters that are all the same size
- A frame that closely resembles the 6000 Series
If the frame matches the 6000 Series but all four casters are identical, you likely have a 5000 Series GoJak.
Step 3 — Identify the 4000 SeriesG4000 • G4500 • G4520
Look for:
- Thin axles
- Double-roller lifting mechanism
- Four casters of the same size
The combination of thin axles and double rollers is the easiest way to identify these models.
Step 4 — Identify Heavy-Duty ModelsG7016
- Black caster forks
- Standard operating handle
- Same wheel color as the G9516
G9516
Look for two distinctive features:
- Silver caster forks
- Two-speed operating handle
These are the quickest visual indicators that you have a G9516.
