Buying Guide: Marathon Wheel Parts

Wheelbarrow Tires
Marathon wheelbarrow tires include pneumatic, polyurethane and flat free tire and wheel assemblies. Examples include an 8 in. dia. x 15.5 in. dia. tire rated for 400 lb. and an 8 in. x 16 in. pneumatic tire rated for 500 lb. Centered and offset hub styles are offered, and the pneumatic tires have a ribbed tread.

Hand Truck Tires and Bearings
Marathon hand truck tires are made for hand trucks, dollies and utility equipment, such as a 4 in. x 10 in. tire rated for 300 lb. with an offset hub and sawtooth tread. Replacement wheel bearings are sold 2 per pack in 1/2 in., 5/8 in. and 3/4 in. bore sizes. The 5/8 in. and 3/4 in. bearings are pre-greased steel ball bearings with a 1-3/8 in. outside diameter.

Inner Tube Care
The Marathon 3.25-8 in. inner tube is sized for the Yard Rover wheelbarrow tire. Maximum inflation is 30 PSI, so inflate it with a manual pump only, and the tube is not for highway use. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for inflation and check the tire sidewall before you order.
