This wheel is NOT rated for highway speeds or road use. Do not use on trailers or vehicles that travel on public roads.
❌ Mowers / Ride-On Mowers
Do not use on lawn mowers, ride-on mowers, or zero-turn mowers. Continuous operation will cause foam compression.
❌ Miller Machines
Not suitable for milling machines, heavy industrial equipment, or continuous heavy load applications.
❌ Heavy Machinery
Do not use on any heavy machinery that requires prolonged operation under load — the foam will compress and go flat.
❌ Continuous Heavy Loads
This wheel is for light to medium duty, intermittent use only. Prolonged heavy loads will damage the foam.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the plastic rim rust?
A: NO. The plastic rim is 100% rust-proof. It will never rust — perfect for wet environments, coastal areas, and marine use.
Q: Can I use this wheel in salt water?
A: Yes! The plastic rim is completely waterproof and salt-water resistant — ideal for boat dollies, jet ski trolleys, and beach carts.
Q: What size is this wheel?
A: 4.80/4.00-8 — this is the standard wheelbarrow tyre size, used on most garden and contractor wheelbarrows.
Q: Can I use this wheel on my ride-on mower?
A: NO. This wheel is NOT designed for mowers or ride-on mowers. Continuous operation under load will cause the PU foam to compress and go flat.
Q: Is this wheel suitable for highway use?
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT. This wheel is NOT rated for highway speeds or road use. Do not use on trailers or vehicles that travel on public roads.
Q: What is the bore size?
A: 16mm — the standard size for most wheelbarrows and hand trolleys. Please measure your axle before ordering.

4.80/4.00-8 PU Foam Wheel with Plastic Rim — Complete Guide
Plastic Rim — The Waterproof Advantage: The plastic rim is the key feature of this wheel. Unlike steel rims that rust when exposed to moisture, plastic rims are completely waterproof and rust-proof. This makes them ideal for wet environments, coastal areas, marine applications, and outdoor storage where steel rims would quickly corrode.
Tyre Size — 4.80/4.00-8 Explained: This is the standard wheelbarrow tyre size. The 4.80 refers to the tyre width (approx 122mm), the 4.00 refers to the tyre height/profile (approx 102mm), and the 8 refers to the rim diameter in inches. This size offers excellent stability and is the most common replacement size for garden and contractor wheelbarrows.
PU Foam Technology: PU foam (Polyurethane foam) is a lightweight, cellular material that combines the puncture-proof benefits of solid tyres with a lighter weight. Unlike solid rubber, PU foam has a cellular structure that provides better shock absorption and a smoother ride — perfect for wheelbarrows and hand trolleys.
⚠️ Important Limitation — Read Carefully: PU foam is NOT as durable as solid rubber under continuous heavy loads. Prolonged operation under heavy weight will cause the foam cells to compress permanently — resulting in a flat spot or complete flattening. This wheel is designed for light to medium duty, intermittent use only — perfect for wheelbarrows and hand trolleys, but NOT for mowers, miller machines, or heavy machinery.
