Wooden Lorry Wheel with Rubber Tread, 72 mm Diameter

Wooden Lorry Wheel with Rubber Tread, 72 mm Diameter – for Model Making and Craft Projects

The wooden lorry wheel with rubber tread has an outer diameter of 72 mm and is suitable for model making, craft projects and country-style decoration. The wheel is made of wood, and the rubber tread gives an authentic tyre look and extra grip. You can also use it as learning material in schools and nurseries, for example when building your own vehicles.

The hole has a diameter of 8 mm. A round dowel with a diameter of 8 mm, for example, fits as an axle.

Fitting the wheel

Slide the wheel onto an axle with a diameter of 8 mm. For it to turn, glue only the axle to the vehicle body, not the wheel itself. Secure it at the side, for example with a glued-on bead or a spacer, so that it does not slip off the axle. You can finish the wood and the rubber tread differently depending on your project: the wood can be painted or varnished, while the rubber tread stays visible as the tyre.

Which size to choose

This wheel has a diameter of 72 mm. For smaller models, the wooden lorry wheel with rubber tread is also available in 64 mm diameter. Measure the ground clearance of your model beforehand so that the wheels suit the body.
