Shopping cart wheel fitment by cart brand

Unarco, Technibilt, Cari-All, and Versacart carts built since 2000 share the 1/2"-13 × 7/8" stem and 5/16" bearing, so this universal 5" wheel drops into the major brands. Imported and pre-2000 carts vary, so measure first. See the full fitment-by-cart-brand chart and complete cart wheel range.

Frequently asked questions

What size are universal shopping cart wheels?
The universal retail standard is 5 inches in diameter with a 1-1/4 inch tread and a 5/16 inch bearing bore. Smaller foldable utility carts use 4-inch wheels.

Will a 5-inch universal wheel fit my cart?
Nearly every North American shopping cart built since 2000 (Unarco, Technibilt, Cari-All, Versacart) uses the same 5-inch wheel and 1/2"-13 × 7/8" stem, so these are a direct fit. Measure imported or pre-2000 carts first.

Do these replace the P&H WC2054LD?
Yes. The 5-inch universal wheels in this category match the WC2054LD spec, the most commonly specified retail replacement wheel for U.S. cart fleets.
