Hi does anyone know (I've emailed Korda aka carp porter this same question)
If there are any plans for carp porter to produce rear wheels like the ones on he new 'glider' range that rotate, as I find the ones on my Mk7 that are "static" a right pain when turning as you have to life the barrow.

Or does anyone know of other options I could look at, I was thinking along the lines of shopping trolley wheels or the ones you get on mobile scaffolds

Probably better looking at castors for catering tables and trolleys rather than scaffolding/shopping trolley wheels they're probably a bit overkill. Google" castors for stainless steel tables " they're generally available from 2" - 4" . Braked and unbraked

I can't see anything on the site, I've looked at all the classic spares but can't see the whelels, just the standard ones

£250 quid ! What the actual F@#k lol

I thought the same! I only bought my mk4s evo last year and I tipped it on my first trip out because of the back wheels. Won't be forking out the same amount again for a set of wheels! Diy job on the card I think.
Has anyone actually done this diy?

I know I fished upper Tamar and I tipped it four times,broke lots of bits and bobs, was so bad I almost turned around . I only paid 140 for the trolley so can't really justify that sort of money..

Have spoken to Dean at barrow buddies very helpful but there you are looking at 150 to 180 plus 15 quid postage and there's a six month back log….must be someone else doing them surely ??

In case you didn't already know, when loading a 3 wheel barrow you need to put more weight at the rear (handle end) rather than the other way round line you do with a single wheel barrow, this stops them tipping.

If you're local to me, give us a call and for 250 quid I'll push your gear to the swim with the wheels that are on it😂😂😂.

If you're nice, I might make you a brew too 🤣🤣🤣

I dont know why they dont make a 4 wheel version, its got to be more stable

In reply to Post #23
I’d agree, specially at them prices… I managed to do these for all in, the Korda ones are silly money…

In reply to Post #21
I was thinking of making up the plates, and spraying them and then just sell them with the 8 nuts and bolts them all you would need to do is source the wheels on eBay or whatever (£30) and put them together…

Lack of innovation.
It’s easier to just copy someone else.

I was looking at these and was wondering if something similar could be made?
