By MISunriseSide
from Harrisville, MI
"All the parts fit perfectly and instruction were complete - - should have bought this wheel set when I bought the generator a few years back.
With the wheel set and a set of ramps, moving the generator to various sites is a breeze!"

NorthStar Generator Wheel Kit,
April 14, 2008
By Abernathy
from Morganton, N.C.
"Absolutely a must for generators over 200 lbs. combined genset and fuel weight. I would like to have solid rubber tires to eliminate low or flat tire problems when I need the generator moved to the location that it is going to operate. You don't always have a source of compressed air where you don't have power."

It is a kit, and it does have wheels,,
May 29, 2007
By theboss
from valdosta, ga
"I recieved this wheel kit promptly. It was shipped along with my new (and heavy) 13,500 watt generator. Love the generator. Not impressed with the wheel kit however. particularly the tires and handle spacing.
Tires are rated for 300 lbs each but I don't believe I'd bet on it. One tire/tube blew out almost immediately. I did have time to notice that the sideall was extremely bulged before it blew. The other, has some issues with the sidewall, but not as dramatic and still holding air. I called northstar and they sent another one on the way. Good customer service experience. Granted, moving 400lbs of dead weight isn't easy on small 10" tires, but...
..the handles are also spaced so far apart that it's not very comfortable to drag that thing across the barn. Much less across the yard, in the dark when the power is out. I'm not a big guy, but little guys need electricity too! :)
My recommendations?
a) If you only plan to roll this about occassionally, on a smooth and level surface, then this wheel kit will do the trick and if you do have a blowout, you'll get a replacement quickly.
b) If you demand a little more in the way of durability and usefulness, construct a steel frame to bolt under your generator that will allow you to mount larger tires (while keeping them out of the way of your plugs). Also, plan on making a hitch so you can attach it to your mower/atv for manuevering around. This is what I did.
Maybe NorthStar will start making something like this one day for thier bigger generators."
