This robust red steel rim is designed for demanding industrial and garden applications. Thanks to the ball bearing seat and high load capacity, it is ideal for transport equipment, trailers, machines in landscaping and gardening, as well as various industrial running gears. The one-piece design ensures stability and durability, while the matched hub length and ball bearing seat allow easy installation and smooth running.

Benefits and application

This rim is specially designed for applications with moderate driving speeds, such as industrial trucks, agricultural equipment, garden machinery, trailers or trolleys. The high load capacity of up to 700 kg at 10 km/h allows use under heavy loads, for example in warehouses, workshops or municipal operations.

The ball bearing seat with matched dimensions (52x23 on the valve side and 52x15 on the opposite side) ensures precise bearing seating and thus smooth, low-wear running. The one-piece red steel construction is resistant to mechanical stress and suitable for daily professional use. The valve hole with a diameter of 11.5 mm is matched to common valves and facilitates combination with suitable tyres and tubes.

Explanation of technical terms

• Inch size: Indicates the nominal diameter of the rim in inches (1 inch = 25.4 mm). Here: 8 inch.
• Rim 5.50Bx8H2: "5.50" describes the rim width in inches, "8" the rim diameter. The "B" stands for the rim contour, "H2" for a double hump design that secures the tyre better against slipping.
• Offset (ET0): Distance between the centre of the rim and the mounting face on the hub. ET0 means that the mounting face is exactly in the middle of the rim.
• Ball bearing seat: Specially machined recess in the rim for mounting ball bearings. The dimensions (e.g. 52x23) indicate the diameter and width of the bearing seat.
• Hub length (NL110 mm): Total length of the hub, important for the fit on axles and for the correct positioning of the wheel.
• Load capacity: Maximum load that the rim can safely carry in combination with a suitable tyre. Here 700 kg at 10 km/h and 615 kg at 20 km/h. Exceeding this can lead to damage and safety risks.
