This product listing is the most common U-Boat Cart Replacement Wheel Set. U-Boats are commonly seen on Home Depot Carts, Lowes Carts, At Home Carts, Platform Trucks, Stock Carts, Grocery Store Carts, etc. This listing is for two pieces of our 8" x 2" Polyurethane on Polyolefin Wheels and four pieces of our 4" x 1-1/4" Polyurethane on Polyolefin Wheels for a total of six replacement wheels. We also include the replacement axles and lock nuts for all wheels included. The wheel configuration on this listing is a direct replacement for U-Boat carts with two 8" wheels for the middle of the carts and four 4" wheels for the corners. Industry-standard replacement wheels and a direct fitment for almost all major brand u-boat carts.
