Design Features
The wheel’s 4‑ply design incorporates multiple layers of steel to provide superior torsional rigidity and resistance to bending under load. The 115 mm PCD stud pattern aligns perfectly with the hub mounting points on MP6810, MP711 and Erde 102 trailers, allowing for a seamless fit without the need for adapters or modifications.
Its 350 mm x 8 in dimension matches the original wheel size, preserving the trailer’s handling characteristics. The wheel is engineered with a balanced rim profile, reducing vibration and ensuring smooth rotation even at higher speeds.
Installation Guide
- Remove the existing wheel: Loosen the hub nuts, lift the wheel off the axle, and set aside any retaining clips or spacers.
- Align the stud pattern: Position the new wheel so that its 115 mm PCD studs line up with the hub mounting points.
- Secure the wheel: Tighten the hub nuts to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 70–80 Nm). Use a calibrated torque wrench for precision.
- Check alignment: Verify that the wheel is centered on the axle and rotates freely without wobble.
- Reapply any retaining clips or spacers: Ensure all components are in place to prevent wheel movement during operation.
Performance Benefits
- Enhanced Load Capacity: The 4‑ply construction and 160 kg rating allow the wheel to support heavier trailers or additional cargo without compromising safety.
- Reduced Maintenance: High‑quality steel alloy resists corrosion, extending the wheel’s lifespan even in harsh environments.
- Consistent Handling: Matching the original dimensions preserves steering response and braking performance.
- Easy Replacement: The standard stud pattern eliminates the need for custom adapters, making it a convenient spare part for on‑the‑go repairs.
Compatibility Summary
The Maypole 68102 Spare Wheel is engineered to fit the following trailer models:
- MP6810 – A popular heavy‑duty utility trailer.
- MP711 – Known for its robust construction and versatility.
- Erd 102 – A reliable platform used in both commercial and recreational towing.
Because the wheel’s dimensions, stud pattern and load rating are identical to those of the original equipment, it can be swapped without affecting the trailer’s structural integrity or performance.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect for damage: Regularly check the rim for cracks, dents or excessive wear. Replace immediately if any defects are found.
- Clean regularly: Remove dirt and debris from the wheel surface to prevent corrosion buildup.
- Tighten nuts periodically: Re‑torque hub nuts every 6–12 months or after significant towing events to maintain secure attachment.
