Trucks & Trolleys

 

The attachment of sack truck and trolley wheels is a very easy concept. Many customers seem to find it a scary process upon initial purchase of their new wheels. The only tool you'll really need or require for the job is a pair of simple pliers.

The application of your new wheels will start by using a pair of pliers to straighten the existing split pins (the long pin which runs through the axle and sits in front of the washer). Once the pin is closed, it should now be ready to be pulled out.

Try and get a good grip upon the head of the pin with your pliers and pull out directly out. Once removed, the washer should now slide off with relative ease. The wheel is now ready to be removed.

Now, slightly lift the side of the trolley that your working on. Grab the trolley with one hand and remove the wheel with the other hand. You can now either replace the removed wheel straight away by using the 'remove and replace method' or you can remove the other side too before any replacement takes place. Use which ever method you find more comfortable or which ever best suits your environment.

Once the wheels have been removed, it is time to attach the new wheel(s). Again, the application of such a task is very easy. All you will be doing is simply repeating the previous method but in reverse. In fact, it should be even easier this time around! Lift one side of the trolley with one hand and put on the new wheel with your other. It should literally just slide along the axle.

Then, lower the trolley back onto the ground so it's sitting in a stable position. Slide the washer back to its original starting position so its touching the hub of the wheel (the center piece). If all has gone well you should now be able to pop your split pin straight back through the little hole in the axle. (You may need to replace the old pins if they have become overly warn or brittle).

Now with your pliers, grip onto one of the tails and bent them outwards, as though to bend them back around the axle. When both tails have been opened, the pin is now secure, along with your new wheels.
