Frequently Asked Questions

EZY Wheels

What are the load ratings of the EZY Wheels

• They are rated for 8800 pounds per set, they can easily move both 20 and 40 foot empty shipping containers with ease. You have have some stuff in them but they are not made to move full shipping containers.

Can I use 6 Lug EZY Wheels on a 40 foot shipping container?

• Yes, they work very well with a 40 foot container, the rating is the same as the 8 Lug.

How do the EZY Wheels work?

• You lift your container with your equipment, put the EZY Wheel in the bottom ISO Pocket and turn them to lock in, then take a ratchet strap from the EZY Wheel to the top of the box and back down to the EZY Wheel, this is to insure they stay on if for whatever reason your shipping container would go high center at any time during moving them.

Why do I need straps?

• This is to insure the EZY Wheels stay on if for whatever reason your shipping container would go high center while in use. There is very little tension on the straps, it just keeps them from turning and unlocking off the container.

Can the EZY Wheels be used on the Highway?

• NO! NO! NO!
• They are not made for highway use. They are made for off road only and slow
• speeds.
• What is the difference between the 6 Lug and 8 Lug EZY Wheels?
• • They are rated the same! The reason for the two difference sizes are for wheel and tire availability. We love to save you money, so if you want to use your own wheels and tires.
• Size for 8 Lug are 8x6.5 (many old truck wheels and tires work, check before purchasing)
• Size for 6 Lug are 6x5.5 (this is a standard chevy half ton truck size, in some cases the center hole may be too small. It need 3.5 inches center hole - we recommend buying the EZY Wheels before you purchase used wheels and tires from another source.)

Can you ship over seas?

• Yes we do regularly. Please call for overseas orders, as there is additional shipping costs.

• Phone number is (636)-900-4608

How much does it cost to ship?

• Shipping is free is the lower 48 states.

How high does the container sit when EZY Wheels are put on?

• On average ground clearance is 12”. You can adjust this by your tire size. If you need maximum ground clearance, old tall mud truck tires work great. This also helps on soft ground, as a shipping container is super heavy.

How far do the EZY Wheels stick out from the container?

• Approximately 12” past the container depending on your tire.

Why do I need ratchet straps?

• Ratchet straps are to insure that the EZY Wheels do not come off your container if your container would go high centered while moving.

• The ratchet straps are used to keep the EZY Wheels from rotating and unlocking while in use. There is no significant tension on the straps.

Do you sell ready to go kits?

• Yes we do, we sell bundles with EZY Wheels and wheels and tires. • The wheel come with a heavy rated 10ply E rated tire.

What tires work?

• Size for 8 Lug are 8x6.5 (many old truck wheels and tires work, check before purchasing)

• Size for 6 Lug are 6x5.5 (this is a standard chevy half ton truck size, in some cases the center hole may be too small. It need 3.5 inches center hole - we recommend buying the EZY Wheels before you purchase used wheels and tires from another source.)

What is the rating for the tires?

• We sell E rated tires, in most cases any tire will work. Since these are for off road use, they just need to not be dry rotted and hold air.

What materials are EZY Wheels made from?

• Our EZY Wheels are constructed of cold rolled steel. All of our parts are made right here in Missouri, USA. We only use American Steel.

• Robotic welded
• Laser cut
• Our spindles are made specifically made to move shipping containers.
• We do source our hubs from overseas.
• Our EZY Wheels and most of our other items are Nickel Chrome Plated. The
• reason for this is durability. We believe when you buy, your items should last a lifetime.
• What finish are the EZY Wheels?
• • Nickel Chrome Finish
• Are EZY Wheels made in the USA?
• • Yes! We do not outsource the builds of our EZY Wheels. They are made in Wonderful Washington, Missouri. We use only USA Steel. Many of the machines that we use to build our products come from Washington, Missouri. We do source our hubs from overseas.
• Can EZY Wheels be put on the door end of the container and the opposite end of the container?
  • Absolutely. This is a great way to move your container side to side or in its
• own tracks. On the non-door side of the container they install the exact way they do on the sides. On the door-end of the container, we suggest to put a 2x4 between the EZY Wheel and the container, this insures that the wheels stay vertical and protects your doors.
• Can I move a full shipping container?
• • EZY Wheels are designed to move 8800 pounds per end of container. So they would work on a container weighing less than 17,600 pounds total weight, if the weight is evenly distributed. We do recommend leaving your container as empty as possible. A lot of equipment will not lift the other end of the container with that weight added, which would make it hard to move the container.
• Are your EZY Wheels painted or powder coated?
• • No, from our experience paint and powder coat chip and do not withstand the tough conditions that they are designed to work in.

Do you have a warranty?

• Yes, this is my personal cell phone number, give me a call and I will personally take care of the situation.

• CEO Jason Witte, 636-346-6419
• We stand behind everything we build.
• What is the wheel backspacing?
• • Our EZY Wheels are designed to work with most standard trailer wheel backspacing. Most truck tire backspacing also work. We highly suggest test fitting your wheels and tires to the EZY Wheels before purchasing from other places. Most of the time they will fit, but we cannot guarantee as there are so many different variants of tires.
• Lifts
• What is the difference between the two lifters?
• • Our HD EZY Lift is designed for larger bottle jacks, 12 ton. The overall size is larger to accommodate for the larger jack
• Our Standard EZY Lift will do everything the larger one will do but will save you money if you have to buy a jack. It works with the smaller 8 Ton bottle jacks.
• The circle size on the inside are the same size.

Do the EZY Twist Locks come with the anchor?

• No, you provide your own as there are many different variants in anchors. They are found at most hardware stores.

What is the rating of the EZY Twist Locks?

• The rating comes down to the anchor and the base that they are attached to. Our EZY Twist Locks are far stronger than the anchor that they are secured with. We suggest that you check the specifications of the anchor that you are using.
