Do you need a Kit or Just a Wheel Barrow Wheel?

finding the right wheelbarrow wheels

One of the most important questions you can ask yourself is:

Do I need a wheelbarrow replacement wheel kit or just a wheel?

Here are a few tips to help you decide.

  1. Do you have the axle bar? That is the round tube which the wheel slide over on your wheelbarrow. If it rusted, bent or for some reason needs replaced, you will want to buy a wheel replacement kit. The flat-free replacement kit includes the bar, bushings and all you should need to get your wheelbarrow up and running.
  2. If your bar is in good shape, be sure to measure the size of the bar and purchase a wheelbarrow wheel with the proper sized bearing to fit your axle bar. In this case you can choose between a 13 inch flat free wheelbarrow wheel, a 16 inch flat free wheelbarrow wheel or a 16 inch air filled wheel.
  3. PLEASE NOTE: If you need a 14.5" wheelbarrow wheel, choose the wheelbarrow replacement kit.
  4. If you are not sure which one you need, you can buy the full wheelbarrow wheel replacement kit just to be safe.

HINT: Be sure to check your existing wheel size on the wall of your tire so you purchase the right one.

Wheelbarrow Wheels FAQS

Pneumatic wheels are air-filled, providing excellent shock absorption and a smoother ride on uneven terrain. However, they require regular inflation and are susceptible to punctures. Flat-free wheels, often made of solid polyurethane, eliminate the risk of flats and require less maintenance, though they may offer a firmer ride.

Regular maintenance includes:

  • Cleaning: Remove dirt and debris after each use.

  • Lubrication: Apply lubricant to the axle periodically to ensure smooth rotation.

  • Inspection: Check for signs of wear, rust, or damage, and address issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.

Yes, many wheelbarrows allow for interchangeable wheels. Ensure the replacement wheel matches the axle diameter and hub length of your current setup for proper fit and functionality.

Two-wheeled wheelbarrows offer increased stability, making them less likely to tip over when carrying heavy or unbalanced loads. However, they may be less maneuverable in tight spaces compared to single-wheeled versions.

To prevent rust:

  • Storage: Keep the wheelbarrow in a dry place when not in use.

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the wheel to remove moisture and debris.

  • Protection: Apply a rust-inhibiting spray or paint to metal components as needed.

Solid rubber wheels are durable and puncture-proof, making them ideal for smooth surfaces. However, they may not provide the same level of shock absorption as pneumatic wheels on rough or uneven terrains.

Signs that indicate a need for replacement include:

  • Visible Damage: Cracks, splits, or significant wear on the tire.

  • Frequent Flats: For pneumatic wheels, recurring punctures or inability to hold air.

  • Impaired Functionality: Difficulty in maneuvering or noticeable wobbling during use.

Some wheelbarrow wheels are versatile and can be used on other equipment. Ensure the wheel's specifications, such as axle diameter and hub length, are compatible with the other equipment's requirements.
