To BeachcartsUSA: 

      "My cart with the new Roleez® wheels works great. As loaded in the picture it weighs approx. 128 lbs (cart included). It rolls easily over soft sand and is a huge improvement - like night & day, over the stock wheels.

I included some photos, a parts list & a short explanation of how I did it.

Sincerely D.P.

Material List: (All items are stainless steel except for aluminum rod)
  • 1ea.  1" x 36" solid aluminum round bar (1" aluminum tubing with 7/8"wood dowel insert, or stainless tubing could also be used)
  • 2ea. 1/4" X 2.5" (leg length) u-bolts to fit 1" shaft
  • 4ea. 1/4" flat washers
  • 4ea. 1/4" nylon-insert locknuts
  • 4ea. 1" flat washers
  • 4ea. cotter pins
  • 2ea. 42cm Wheeleez® or Roleez® wheels

How I Did It:

  • Remove old wheels & axle.
  • Use one existing u-bolt hole & drill one new u-bolt hole toward handle end of cart, for each side of cart.
  • Slightly bevel the ends of new axle with a grinder or file to ease new wheel installation.
  • Center new axle on cart & temporarily bolt into place.
  • Slide new Wheeleez® or Roleez® wheels, with a 1" flat washer on each side of wheel, onto axle. Leave a 1/2" to 3/4" gap between sidewall of tire & cart frame. Mark axle on the outside of the flat washers for drilling cotter pin holes.
  • Remove wheels & axle, drill cotter pin holes & remove any burs.
  • Install axle, washers, wheels & cotter pins
