Benefits and application range

This steel rim is designed for high loads and offers very high load capacity with up to 655 kg at 10 km/h, for example for heavy loads in agriculture, horticulture and industry. The version with ball bearing seat on both sides (40x14.5) allows easy installation of suitable ball bearings and precise guidance on the axle. The hub length of 106 mm and the hub dimension 44x40 ensure a stable fit on common axle systems of wheelbarrows and transport equipment.

The precisely manufactured valve hole (11.5 +/-0.2 mm) allows the use of standard valves in combination with a suitable tyre and tube. Thanks to the steel material and the red coating, the rim is resistant to impacts and to tough outdoor use.

Typical applications are:

• Wheelbarrows (without bearings and axle, these must be added separately)
• Garden and construction barrows
• Hand carts and transport equipment
• Use in landscaping as well as in workshops and industry

Explanation of technical terms

• Inch size: Common size specification for rims and tyres in inches (1 inch ˜ 2.54 cm).
• Offset (ET): Distance between the centre of the rim and the contact surface at the hub. ET0 means that the contact surface is located in the centre of the rim.
• Ball bearing seat: Specially machined area in the hub in which ball bearings are fitted with an accurate fit.
• Hub length (NL): Total length of the hub, important for the correct axle length.
• Load capacity: Maximum load that the rim, in combination with a suitable tyre, can safely carry at the specified speed.
• Valve hole: Bore in the rim for the tyre valve; the diameter must match the valve type used.
• Rim material (steel): Steel rims are particularly strong and durable, ideal for heavy-duty use and harsh environments.
