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. These 40” wheels in particular are extremely heavy and durable and exactly match our other size wheels in style, design and proportion. They are supplied unpainted. The larger rim on our wheels provides improved towing and stability, particularly on soft ground. We can also supply stub axles to fit these wheels – please contact us for details.
