FAQs

Do I need tools to install the axle and wheels?

No, the axle slots in, and the wheels push on and are secured by retaining springs. A flat head screwdriver is only needed if you wish to remove the wheels later.

What size are the replacement wheels?

The replacement wheels are 20cm (approximately 8 inches) in diameter.

Will this kit fit any wheelie bin?

This kit is specifically designed for standard 240 litre wheelie bins. Compatibility with other sizes or brands is not guaranteed.

What are the dimensions of the hinge pins?

The hinge pins measure 60mm in length and 20mm wide (externally 65mm x 30mm).

How do I remove the wheels once they are installed?

To remove the wheels, use a flat head screwdriver to push down on the retaining spring mechanism, which will allow the wheel to be pulled off the axle.

Is the axle made of metal or plastic?

The replacement axle is made of heavy-duty metal for durability.

Troubleshooting

Wheels are difficult to push onto the axle.

Ensure the axle is fully inserted and that no debris is obstructing the wheel's inner hub or the end of the axle. Try wiggling the wheel as you push.

Wheels come off unexpectedly.

Verify that the retaining springs are fully engaged. If a spring seems weak or damaged, contact customer support.

Lid hinge pins do not fit.

Confirm you are attempting to fit them into a standard 240 litre bin. Minor adjustments might be needed for slight variations in bin design, but they are designed for a push-fit.

Axle does not fit the bin.

Double-check that your bin is a standard 240 litre model and that the axle housing has not been significantly deformed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Restores mobility to heavy wheelie bins.
  • Durable metal construction for the axle.
  • Easy, tool-free installation for wheels and axle.
  • Includes essential lid repair components.
  • Cost-effective alternative to buying a new bin.

Cons

  • Only compatible with standard 240 litre wheelie bins.
  • Wheels may not fit all generic bin models, even if 240 litre.
  • Requires a flat head screwdriver for wheel removal (though not installation).
  • Aesthetic may differ from original wheels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is designed to fit standard 240 litre wheelie bins. Ensure your existing bin has a similar axle housing and lid hinge pin design before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Remove the old axle (if still present).
  2. Slide the new heavy-duty metal axle into place.
  3. Push the 20cm wheels firmly onto the ends of the axle until they are secured by the retaining springs.
  4. For the lid hinge pins, simply push the new pins into the designated holes on the bin lid and body.

Care:

  • Periodically check that the wheels are securely attached and the axle is free from debris.
  • Clean the wheels and axle with water and a mild detergent if they become excessively dirty, though they are generally maintenance-free.
  • The metal axle is rust-resistant but avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive environments.
