Gardening and construction tools must be reliable so that they do not fail at a crucial moment when there is a huge amount of work on the site.

How to choose a wheel for a garden wheelbarrow?
Just like for a car, wheels for a wheelbarrow are of great importance. They are made from different materials, there are tube and tubeless. The carrying capacity of the device depends on their quality. Correctly selected components help to smoothly transport planned cargo around the site.
The load must be calculated on each side separately.
Types of wheels
Most often, modern tools are equipped with polyurethane tubeless wheels. They are not afraid of mildly aggressive environments, do not deform when in contact with various oils and gasoline, and can withstand temperature ranges from +50 to -30 degrees. Extremely easy to maintain - you only need to clean the dirt. They are tough to ride, but at the same time they are not afraid of punctures.

Pneumatic is preferable for gardening cars, as they are able to overcome small obstacles in the form of bricks and curbs. They are afraid of punctures. The rigidity of the ride, as well as the load-carrying capacity of the device, depends on the pressure in the tire.
Wheel sizes
The size range of components is extensive - it depends on the size of the trough and the load-carrying capacity of the wheelbarrow. Marking is carried out with three values:
- Width of the component.
- Tire height.
- Disc diameter.
Usually the recommended circle is marked in the manufacturer's instructions. As a last resort, you can take the old wheel and go with it to the store, where the consultants will select the right one.
It is important to know the diameter of the axle on which the spare part is attached. The most common values are 16 and 20 mm.
Let's give an example. The label indicates 3.25/3.00-8 D16. Here 3.25 is the tire width, 3.00 is the height, 8 is the rim diameter, and D16 is the axle circumference. It is not recommended to deviate from these values due to increased load on the device.

How to choose?
To buy components, pay attention to several parameters:
- Diameter. The most common indicators are 250, 350 and 400 mm.
- Inner circumference of the disc. 16 and 20 mm are more common here.
- Decide whether there is a camera or not, and the material from which it is made.
- Understand whether a symmetrical wheel is necessary or not.
Knowing the answers to the questions asked and reading information from the car manufacturer with recommendations, you will be able to make the right choice in the store.
