High-quality tyres & wheel re-covering for carriage wheels
Carriage wheels differ significantly from larger traction engine wheels, requiring a more controlled, precision-machining approach rather than heavy industrial handling.
​
Because of their smaller size, carriage wheels can be processed using dedicated equipment that allows tighter tolerances, safer handling and consistent repeatability ensuring reliable performance.​
Typical Applications
​
Our carriage wheels and tyres are designed for:
​
-
Horse-drawn carriage wheels
-
Heritage transport equipment
-
Industrial trolley and handling wheels
-
Specialist and custom wheeled assemblies​

Service scope & maximum wheel dimensions
To ensure safe handling and precision machining, Reliant Rubber Engineers specialises in carriage wheels within defined size parameters.
​
Our carriage wheel refurbishment and rubber tyre replacement service is strictly limited to wheels with:
​
Maximum internal diameter: 1000 mm
Maximum face length: 300 mm
​
Wheels exceeding either of these dimensions fall outside our carriage wheel service scope and cannot be accepted for processing.
​
These limits ensure all work can be carried out using controlled equipment and safe engineering methods, maintaining the standards expected across our services.
