About our Shepherds hut wheels:
Our wheels are a traditional design, cast from our own patterns in two local Midlands’ Foundries. Each wheel has a grease chamber in the hub and a grease nipple 'seat' in the reverse of the hub (so it is not visible), which can be drilled and tapped if required. They are heavy and durable and are used on all our Shepherd Huts. They are supplied unpainted. The larger rim on our wheels provides improved towing & stability, particularly on soft ground. The hub depth on 24" wheels is larger than the 32" wheels. This is because, when used as the front pair on a turntable chassis, they are subject to greater stress when turning. Additional width gives additional strength! We can also supply stub axles to fit your chassis.The stub axles and wheels are machined to fit snugly, therefore eliminating the majority of "wobble" - particularly important when the inside rim of the wheel is close to your hut walls.
