is this a heavy duty wheel?

If you mean steel spokes; no spokes are chrome plated. If you mean single or double butted spokes; no they are regular 'cheap' spokes. The rim and spokes are prone to rusting. But for regular riding on rough paths it has lasted 4 years without bends or spoke breaks and still going strong.

It is, actually. I bought it. But beware, the wheels don't really grip well and the board will keep rolling no matter the surface unless it's on the carpet. If you still want to get this, I suggest buying a quality set of wheels along with it and have someone change them for you if you cannot. If you decide not to get this, there are many other better ones to choose from. :) I hope this helps.

It has what are called mag wheels. That kind of wheel doesn't have steel spokes. It has big, thick solid plastic pieces that are very hard and durable. And tires that are made of solid rubber stuff, so they won't go flat. It makes it heavier than wheelchairs with steel spokes and inflatable tires, and doesn't provide as smooth a ride, but should be very durable.

I've had mine for several months and it is still working fine. Though I am careful to not overloaded and go beyond what it's rated for and also I do keep the wheels clean so they don't get gummed up.

Yes, the entire base (including the wheel inserts) is metal with the exception a black plastic ring that covers the join between the legs at the center; however this is just for "looks" and is not load bearing. I am 6'2'', 273 lbs and have had no problem with this base whatsoever. Cheers!

If you are trying to find an original replacement wheel you will have to email the manufacturer. However, the size seems common. I would think you could find better wheels at Harbor Freight or Tractor supply, but in the year and a half that I've owned this thing I haven't needed to replace the wheels. I've hauled eight yards of gravel about 150 feet from my driveway to my kids playground area and the wheels have been just fine. Each load was somewhere between 300 and 400 pounds. The wheels aren't a problem. That said, you might be happier with a better wagon. This one doesn't have enough lift to make the dumping feature worthwhile. It's too low, so you end up with half your load still sitting in the hopper when you tilt to dump.

The wheels are pretty good. I haven't had any issues with them. To me, they seem quite sturdy.

Yes, it can handle the weight. im currently using a 4 wheelset on +320 lbs steel frame, just remember there small diameter wheels and can only roll on a smooth surface.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I am using it on carpet, and there doesn't seem to be any excessive wear. The wheels are plastic. Hope that helps.

I'm glad you asked this question. I received one last week and the wheel is incredibly wobbly. I just ordered a second one for comparison, and hopefully it will be secure and stable. The first one is definitely going to be returned.

Hi Tammi, I bought this wheel and installed it on my drveway fence. I am happy with it, it is heavy duty but i dont have an awnser as to how much weight it would hold Bill

Remember this doesn't come with wheels. Hollow but strong construction, surprisingly it might weigh a few pounds at the most. Mine came in a big box, so light I almost thought it was empty!

Not heavy duty as we would normally define it. I have been using mine for six month with no difficulties, though. It works fine for general grocery hauling. (Even through the snow). All wheels are locked in position, so you will have to tip it to steer properly. I think it is just fine for the low price!

Yes, it's relatively easy to lift one end and roll on the built-in wheels. It's a bit heavy though so caution for anyone who shouldn't be lifting.

The description says, "wheels, that will never rust/soft grip/Highly durable epoxy finish/can carry 150 lbs" but the tires kept falling off the hubs of the wheels when I loaded it up with 80 pounds of groceries. I will be returning the unit, since I bought it to carry heavy loads back from the store. (If it's not a heavy load, I just carry it in bags!)

No, unless you reinforce it. I rolled it, empty, across my kitchen and the wheel fell apart. I have yet to get it all back together!
