The present invention relates to a wheel assembly (1a), wherein the wheel assembly comprises an attachment portion (3) for attaching the wheel assembly to an object, a wheel house (5) rotatably connected to the attachment portion about a first rotational axis, a wheel (7) rotatably connected to the wheel house about a second rotational axis perpendicular to the first rotational axis and a locking mechanism (13) adapted to lock the wheel house (5) in relation to the attachment portion (3;37) in a plurality of predefined positions. The locking mechanism (13) comprises a plurality of recesses (17) and a locking element (15) that is arranged rotatable in relation to the recesses. The locking element is adapted to engage with the recesses when the wheel house and the attachment portion) are in the predefined positions in relation to each other. The locking element is arranged rotatable in relation to the attachment portion about the first rotational axis. The locking element is connected to the wheel house so that a rotational movement of the locking element achieves a corresponding rotational movement of the wheel house. At least a part (16) of the locking element is movable in a direction parallel with the first rotational axis to allow said part (16) of the locking element to move into the recesses and to engage with the recesses when the wheel house and the attachment portion (3;37) are in the predefined positions in relation to each other.
