Know before you buy
The Quad-Wheel Kit is specifically designed for ELEY or Rapid-Reel two-wheel cart models 1043 and 1043X manufactured from May 2009 to the present. It is not compatible with other models or older versions.
Installation is straightforward and typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes. The kit includes the necessary installation tool to help you attach the wheels to your existing frame.
No, the tires are foam-filled and flat-free, meaning you never need to worry about checking air pressure or dealing with punctures. They are designed to provide consistent, reliable performance over time.
While the four-wheel configuration increases the footprint slightly, it significantly improves stability and makes the cart much easier to maneuver across your yard. You will no longer need to balance the weight of the reel while moving it.
The kit is built for durability using 1-1/2-inch aluminum tubing and solid aluminum spindles. All included hardware is made from stainless steel to resist rust and ensure long-term structural integrity.
