Product Information

Full details

This 8-inch replacement wheel is designed for industrial and commercial users operating sack trucks or hand trucks who require a low-maintenance, heavy-duty solution. The primary benefit is the puncture-proof solid rubber design, which eliminates downtime caused by flats; however, users should note that the solid tyre offers a firmer ride compared to pneumatic alternatives, which may be noticeable on rough or uneven terrain.

FAQs

Is this tyre air-filled?

No, this is a solid rubber tyre, meaning it cannot go flat and does not require air pressure.

Will this fit a 20mm axle?

No, this wheel has a 16mm bore. It will not fit a 20mm axle.

Can this be used on grass?

It can be used on grass, but because it is a solid, relatively narrow wheel, it may sink into soft ground more easily than a wide pneumatic tyre.

Is the rim plastic or metal?

The rim is constructed from industrial-grade metal for increased durability.

How do I measure to ensure it fits?

Measure your existing axle diameter to ensure it is 16mm, and confirm your existing wheel has an outer diameter near 202mm.

Troubleshooting

Wheel wobbles on the axle

Check if the axle is bent or if the retaining nut/pin has worked loose. Ensure the wheel is pushed fully onto the axle spacer.

Wheel is difficult to slide onto the axle

Clean the axle of rust or debris using sandpaper and apply a light layer of multi-purpose grease to the shaft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely puncture-proof for reliable operation
  • No air pressure maintenance required
  • High-strength metal rim for superior durability
  • Standardized sizing for easy replacement

Cons

  • Provides a firmer, less cushioned ride than pneumatic tyres
  • Heavier than plastic-rimmed alternatives
  • Solid rubber may experience flat spots if stored under heavy loads for extended periods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, remove the existing wheel by sliding the retaining pin or nut off the axle. Ensure the 16mm bore aligns with your existing axle shaft. If the fit is tight, apply a small amount of machine lubricant to the axle. Once in place, secure with the appropriate locking mechanism (cotter pin or locking nut).

Regarding care: while the tyre is puncture-proof, the metal rim should be inspected periodically for signs of corrosion if used in damp or outdoor conditions. Keep the axle well-greased to prevent binding between the wheel hub and the axle shaft. Avoid storing the truck with the load resting in the same position for months at a time to prevent potential deformation of the rubber.
