8-inch Wheels

Eight-inch wheels are standard on heavy die carts, steel and coil handling dollies, machine-moving skates, industrial trailers, heavy-duty platform trucks, transfer carts, and oversized material handling equipment. They are found in steel mills, stamping plants, heavy manufacturing, and distribution centers handling palletized or bulk loads.

Individual 8 inch wheels in our inventory are rated up to 5,000 lbs, depending on the material and core construction. On a four-wheel cart, that supports total loads up to 20,000 lbs. For loads above 5,000 lbs per wheel, contact our team for specialty options.

Yes. The 8 inch diameter is specifically advantageous on rough, cracked, or debris-covered surfaces. The larger circumference rolls over floor imperfections, expansion joints, dock plates, and small debris that would catch or damage smaller wheels. For the roughest conditions, consider rubber or polyurethane treads for added resilience.

For heavy loads and frequent movement, tapered roller bearings or precision ball bearings are recommended. These bearing types handle both radial and thrust loads, reduce rolling resistance, and extend wheel service life under sustained heavy use. Plain bore is acceptable only for infrequently moved static equipment.
