The Wheelchair Front Casters is the highest quality casters with high abrasion resistant rubber for long lasting tread wear. These casters may swivel in all direction to provide you with a seamless maneuvers you may perform on your wheelchair. It is important to choose the right size, diameter, mix whether solid or pneumatic and ensure that the positioning is correct.
The world spins for most of us, and for some we spin right along with it! For those who live life from the cushion, our experience can be greatly influenced by the style and comfort offered by the seat from which we see life.

New accessories and Wheelchair Front Casters models are constantly springing up and moving ever forward as innovations in technology and independence grow.
Wheelchair Casters:
- Wheelchair casters come in a variety of diameters and widths and each different style and size will have its own attributes that make it appropriate for different applications. The purpose of wheelchair casters is to stabilize the wheelchair while the drive wheels (powered wheels on a power wheelchair & large handrimmed wheels on a manual wheelchair) propel the wheelchair.
- The casters are usually located at the front of the wheelchair but on wheelchairs where the drive wheels are in the center or front of the wheelchair the casters are usually located at the rear of the wheelchair.
Many aspects relating to equipment configuration affect users’ actions in a manual wheelchair, determining the overall mobility performance. Since the equipment components and configuration determine both stability and mobility efficiency, configuring the wheelchair with the most appropriate set-up for individual users’ needs is a difficult task. Several studies have shown the importance of seat/backrest assembly and the relative position of the rear wheels to the user in terms of the kinetics and kinematics of manual propulsion. More recently, new studies have brought to light evidence on the inertial properties of different wheelchair configurations.
In the 4 Wheel Wheelchair the usual size of the rear wheel ranges from twenty to twenty-six inches in diameter. A larger wheel increases the height of the seat off the ground and decreases the rolling resistance, thus easing the effort of pushing.
Wheels: There are ultra lightweight, narrow wheels to help decrease the overall width of the chair. The narrow wheels with fiber spokes add shock absorbency and strength for a more comfortable ride. Because of their style they perform well at cambers up to 20 degrees.
Some wheelchair wheels are made of forged aluminum and are good for everyday, sports or off road use. You need to consider the weight capacity of these wheels and also what type will work best for you. In general the overall weight is 5 lbs.
