Milwaukee Hand Truck

[boblink]

Hello, I have a Milwaukee 0 91919 30080 Hand Truck that is probably 20+ years old and need to replace the tires. I attached a photo of the label that states the (original) tires are R1398 with a weight load of 600/600 Lbs but being that the tires are so old, I am unable to find them would appreciate your help for what (tire specs) that I should be looking for?
Thanks
Bob

Hand truck wheels are common. I've had good luck for wheels at Harbor Freight.

What's the size printed on the sidewall of the tires? It will probably be easier to find replacements based on size, rather than Milwaukee part number.

I would take a look at magliner hand trucks, they have balloon and solid tire versions. But I like their products, seem to be of good quality. I would think one of their wheel asms might be able to cross over, I think its based on a generic steel rod axle of around 1/2" or 5/8" diameter.

Should be a standard size ( 4.10 x 10 ) available at HF 5.99 each ( tire with rim ) if your original rims /bearings are in good shape swap the tires onto them as the hf rims bend easily also if your originals don't have tubes you can get them at hf and covert to tube type. if you want to get fancy you can find never flat tires with rim at lowes run about 25.00 a piece .

Thanks guys, I never thought of Harbor Freight, I'll check them out and am attaching a photo of the tire which doesn't seem to offer any help as to the dimensions. Also, the reason that I need to replace the tires is that they lose air quickly and if I don't use it for a couple of months, all the air is gone and it's a hassle to fill them up again so I don't know if that is typical (what to expect) with new tires or should I look into the more expensive are no flat tires?
Thank you for your help guys

From your first picture you need a 4.1/3.5-4 size tire. Something like this.

I didn't search around for best price, so definitely do that.

Thanks Jobo, I'll start shopping around

Many Milwaukee hand trucks are rebranded Magliners. Measure the tires and see what Magliner has, replaced the tires/casters on my convertible and they work awesome!

The reason the tires don't stay aired up is those are tubeless style rims. easy fix is to pick up 2 inner tubes for that size wheel ( hf has them ) break the bead on one side , remove the valve stem from the rim , insert the inner tube into the tire , slip the tube valve stem through the wheel hole and air up. I have done this to all my dollies ( I work in the moving and storage industry )

Thank you, I definitely will try this first and if it doesn't work (keeps losing air) I'll spring for the No Flat tires.

See if you have a caster supplier locally. You don't have to replace them with inflatable tires; you can get caster wheels if you want.

I have a Magliner that HAD that exact problem. Worse part was, soon as they lost air they came off the bead, PIA to reinflate. I Finally solved it by Super Gluing the beads to the wheels and adding Slime, problem solved. Been over a year, tires still inflated.

Search re replacement tires brought me to this old thread. Just paid $62 for a Milwaukee D handle HD800P and put the old one up for sale. $62.00 for brand new hand truck vs replacing old tires the 10 inch Milwaukee pneumatic at $21 x 2, Milwaukee no flat at $27 x 2. Two tires and two Intertubes is $24 and 10 inch Marathon is $24 for two tires.

10-inch pneumatic tires do great on large curb and concrete stairs up to our front entrance and hand truck is stored in garage near compressor to top off is easy.

I went through this a few years ago myself. Tires wouldn't hold air for anything.

Somewhere in my search for replacements someone recommended fix a flat. Figured it was worth a gamble, shits cheaper then new tires and worst case I'm buying new rubber anyway.

Been at least 2 years now & those tires are still holding air. Cheap easy fix.

Agree........HF might be the last place to buy any rubber product. Not to mention the basement or shop will stink like **** for months.

 

[webscrounger]

I have a Magliner and I believe that size tire typically comes in 2 or 4 ply. The 4 ply being rated to handle more weight. The 2-ply may not hold up under max load usage.

 

[dylanmitchell]

Milwaukee aka Gleason Products makes decent hand trucks for the price but tires are a weak point. Pneumatic tires bump up curbs and concreted stairs better but do loose air. Schlepping stuff from the garage to a front patio or side yard so I don't bother with trying to use ramps.

May break down and buy semi-pneumatic or foam filed tires or try a Magliner or Harper if I get too frustrated with tires losing air.

For hand trucks and wheelbarrows soon as they experience a flat I just swap them to flat free solid rubber tires. Tractor Supply carries all the common ones if you have a local store. Yes flat free tires are a bit more expensive, but well worth the time saved either messing with tubes that still need patched from time to time or fighting to keep the tubeless tires aired up.
