FAQs
What is the outer diameter of the tire?

Can this wheel be used on a motorized cart?
This wheel is designed for manual wheelbarrows and carts. Its load capacity is 120 kg, which might be suitable for lighter motorized applications, but compatibility and safety should be assessed based on the specific cart's requirements.
What is the width of the tire?
The tire width is approximately 90mm (3.54 inches).
How do I inflate the tire?
Use a standard tire pump with a Schrader valve connection. Ensure you do not overinflate the tire.

What is the maximum load this wheel can carry?
The maximum load capacity for this wheel is 120 kg.
Does this wheel come assembled?
The wheel and tire are typically supplied together, but may require inflation and mounting onto the wheelbarrow axle.
Troubleshooting
Wheel does not fit the axle.
Ensure you are using the correct reducer bush for your axle diameter. If no bush fits, verify your axle size matches one of the supported diameters (25.4mm, 20mm, 16mm, 12mm).
Tire loses air pressure quickly.
Check the Schrader valve for leaks or damage. Inspect the tire for punctures. Ensure the rim is not damaged. If the leak persists, the tire may need patching or replacement.
Wheelbarrow feels unstable or wobbly.
Verify that the wheel is securely fastened to the axle and that the tire is properly inflated to the correct pressure. Ensure the reducer bushes (if used) are seated correctly.
Difficulty rolling on soft ground.
Ensure the tire is inflated to the higher end of the recommended pressure range. For very soft ground, consider adding a wider tire if available, or distributing the load more evenly.
