Pneumatic Wheels with Plastic Rims
Australian-made. UV protected. Corrosion resistant.
Our plastic-centred pneumatic wheels are engineered for strength, durability and outdoor performance.
Manufactured in Australia, the rims are injection moulded from high-strength, UV-stabilised polypropylene with thicker sections and a multi-web design. The result? A wheel centre that is stronger than most imported steel alternatives—without the risk of rust.
Paired with our standard 4-ply tyres and premium seamless (butt-joined) butyl rubber tubes, these wheels deliver reliable, long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
Why choose Fallshaw plastic-centred pneumatics?
Rust-proof construction: Ideal for wet or corrosive environments.
UV-stabilised polypropylene: Won’t fade or become brittle in the sun.
Multi-web reinforced design: Thick sections and large radii for superior strength.
Wobble-free performance: Manufactured to high engineering standards.
Premium butyl rubber tubes: Seamless (butt-joined) for improved air retention and durability.
Cost-effective: Excellent performance at a competitive price point.
Our plastic rims are injection moulded locally at our Melbourne factory. Watch the video below to see how we manufacture our Australian-made pneumatic wheels in-house.
Puncture-proof pneumatic wheels fitted to a hand truck/appliance trolley—for extra reliability.
Wobble-free steel centred pneumatic wheel fitted a wheelbarrow—suitable for rugged terrain.
A catering trolley fitted with plastic centred pneumatic castors—suitable for corrosive environments.
Plant display trolley fitted with plastic centred pneumatic wheels—suitable for wet environments.
Bearings for pneumatic wheels
Heavy duty 'deep groove' shielded bearings (indicated in order codes with PWB) fitted to a toughened heavy duty housing enables true running and extra strength, or plain bearings (PWA). Deep groove bearings can last up to 3 times longer than normal pressed bearings. Precision bearings (indicated in order codes with a PQ) provide ultra-tight tolerances. Roller bearings (indicated with an PR) are available in 200 x 50.
Pneumatic tyres
Four ply (4 ply) for longer, rougher life. Many imports use 2 ply.
For wheels pulled or pushed at low speeds (not driven) the tread pattern is not critical. The following are standard. Other patterns can be offered by negotiation.
It is normal for air filled wheels to lose tyre pressure over time even if they are not being used and it’s important for your safety that you ensure that the wheels are pumped up to their recommended PSI before use—alternatively you can use our semi-pneumatic puncture proof wheels in applications that require wheels to never go flat.

Shop pneumatic sparesPneumatics: Nominal wheel size
Our code structure for pneumatics follows an internationally recognised convention that describes:
Tyre width (in inches) x rim diameter (in inches, measured from where the bead wire within the tyre sits on the rim).
So, for example a nominal wheel size of:
250x4 has a tyre width of approx 2.5 inches, on a 4 inch rim.
350x4 has a tyre width of approx 3.5 inches, on a 4 inch rim.
400x8 has a tyre width of approx 4.0 inches, on an 8 inch rim.
Maximum inflation of pneumatics
Warning: Do NOT inflate over recommended tyre inflation pressure (30 psi).
Do NOT allow tyre pressure to drop below 20 psi or wheel may deflate and become very difficult to re-inflate. If you allow the tyre to go flat and you are unable to re-inflate it then you may need to buy an inner tube to be retro fitted to the wheel (available from our Spare parts for pneumatics and general wheels page).
Use of pneumatic wheels other than as recommended can be dangerous.
