⚡ At a Glance
- • Puncture Resistance: Solid polyurethane tyre construction, no inner tube to puncture
- • Best for: Dinghy launch trollies and boat trailers used in salt and fresh water
- • Not ideal for: On-road vehicle use or applications that require replaceable tyre sections
Solid polyurethane replacement wheel, 255 mm diameter, designed for 25.4 mm axles. Supplied with fitted bushes and a polypropylene rim suited to salt and fresh water use.
No-flat Rolling - Thanks to solid polyurethane construction
Injected moulded polyurethane foam forms a solid tyre section with no inner tube to puncture. The tyre cannot be repaired as a separate section, so the complete wheel and tyre are replaced when worn.
Maintenance is reduced because punctures do not occur, keeping trollies operational for longer. Users spend less time on roadside or slipway repairs and more time handling boats.
Marine-friendly Durability - With polypropylene rim and PU tyre
Polypropylene rim material resists corrosion and the PU tyre material tolerates both salt and fresh water exposure. Tread design is off-road oriented to handle slipway terrain.
Corrosion resistance extends service life in coastal environments and reduces the need for frequent replacements. Suitable for regular use in boatyards and launch areas.
Straightforward Fitment - Thanks to fitted bushes for 25.4 mm axles
Central hole diameter measures 25.4 mm (1 inch) with fitted bushes supplied; diameter without bushes is 30 mm and central hole length is 75 mm. The bushes adapt the hub bore to standard 1 inch axles.
Quick swap onto most dinghy trollies and small boat trailers that use 1 inch axles. Workshops and DIY fitters can complete replacements without specialised tooling.
