✅ Approved Applications — What This Wheel Is FOR
🚫 FORBIDDEN APPLICATIONS & WARNINGS
❌ NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE — Not rated for road speeds. Do not use on any vehicle that travels on public roads.
❌ NOT FOR TRAILERS, MOWERS, HEAVY MACHINERY — Light duty applications only. Maximum 95kg per wheel.
❌ MAX PRESSURE 30 PSI — Recommended operating pressure: 24-26 PSI. Do not exceed 30 PSI.
❌ USE ACCURATE PRESSURE GAUGE — Over-inflation will damage the tyre and may cause blowout.
⚠️ CRITICAL INFLATION INSTRUCTION ⚠️
Recommended pressure: 24-26 PSI · Maximum pressure: 30 PSI
Use an accurate pressure gauge. DO NOT exceed 30 PSI. Over-inflation reduces tyre life, creates a hard ride, and increases risk of blowout. Under-inflation causes poor rolling resistance and potential rim damage.
Product Description — 16" 4.80/4.00-8 Pneumatic Wheel (SKU: 80049)
This 16" 4.80/4.00-8 Pneumatic Wheel (SKU: 80049) features a RED plastic rim with centred hub and 16/19/20/25.4mm (1") ball bearing bore. The larger 16" diameter provides excellent rolling performance over rough terrain, garden soil, and uneven ground.
The centred hub design means the axle passes through the centre of the wheel — ideal for wheelbarrows, garden carts, and trolleys that require balanced weight distribution. The red plastic rim is lightweight and rust-proof, making it perfect for outdoor and garden applications.
Load Capacity: 95kg per wheel. Weight: 2.40kg. Inflation: 24-26 PSI operating pressure, maximum 30 PSI. ⚠️ NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE — designed for wheelbarrows, trolleys, and garden carts only.

🎯 Centred Hub Design — What This Means
This wheel has a CENTRED HUB: The axle hole is located in the exact centre of the wheel. This is the standard design for most wheelbarrows, garden carts, and trolleys where the axle passes through the middle of the wheel.
Centred Hub vs Offset Hub: Offset hub wheels (single hub) mount from one side only and are typically found on specific wheelbarrow designs. This wheel uses the standard centred hub — axles go through the centre for balanced weight distribution and smooth rolling.
Compatibility: The centred hub with 16/19/20/25.4mm (1") bore fits most standard wheelbarrows, garden carts, and utility trolleys. Measure your axle diameter before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
Note: If your equipment uses an offset/single hub design, this centred hub wheel may not be compatible.
🔴 Red Plastic Rim Advantages
🛞 Inflation Instructions — 24-26 PSI (Max 30 PSI)
⚠️ CORRECT INFLATION IS CRITICAL ⚠️
Recommended Pressure: 24-26 PSI for normal operation
Maximum Pressure: 30 PSI — DO NOT EXCEED
Why correct pressure matters:
• Below 24 PSI: Poor rolling resistance, rim damage risk, harder to push
• 24-26 PSI: Optimal performance, smooth rolling, maximum tyre life
• Above 30 PSI: Tyre damage, blowout risk, voided warranty
Always use an accurate pressure gauge. DO NOT inflate by feel alone.
💡 COMPATIBILITY NOTE — 4.80/4.00-8 Tyre Size: This wheel fits both 4.80-8 AND 4.00-8 tyre specifications. The larger 4.80-8 size provides additional load capacity and flotation, while still fitting standard 4.00-8 rims and mounting points.
✅ Approved Applications — Where To Use This Wheel
🚫 FORBIDDEN APPLICATIONS — DO NOT USE
