does any one know if the tyres on the motor mover have an inner tube or are
they some how sealed on to the wheel, the problem i have got on one wheel
is that I can foot pump up the tyre but can hear it go down but cannot see a
puncture

any ideas please.

Go to someone who repairs lawnmowers, preferably the lawn tractor ride on
type. Flat tyres is a common problem with this type of equipment (some have
similar sized wheels as movers). Good dealers sell some gooey stuff to put
inside the tyre which seals any leak, even quite large holes.

Helfords sell a similar product in a spray type can, but I found its nowhere
as good as the thicker stuff used in lawnmowers

Hi

Pneumatic tyred Big Foot motor movers do have an inner tube. I would
assume Mr Shifta movers would also, as their wheels and tyres are
similar.

Removal of the tyres and tubes is not difficult if the whole wheel is
removed first. Chances are you will find the leak a lot easier once
the tube is out and inflated until it expands to a size larger than
that which it is confine to inside the tyre. Alternatively buy a
spare tube to fit while you find patch the original and keep that as a
spare.

Have had to repair a few myself, on launching trolley wheels which are
the same.
