The 6 x 1" 6 SPOKE Caster Wheel Molded On Tire is a lightweight, reliable, and low-maintenance caster solution built to support a wide range of wheelchairs and mobility applications.

6 x 1" 6 SPOKE Caster Wheel Molded On Tire Smooth Performance 

This caster wheel is engineered to offer excellent rolling efficiency with minimal resistance. The six-spoke internal structure creates balanced weight distribution, while the molded tire ensures even ground contact. Whether navigating tight spaces indoors or gliding across smoother outdoor surfaces, this caster’s design helps reduce vibration and provide a controlled, stable experience.

6 SPOKE Caster Wheel Molded On Tire Durable Construction

The caster wheel’s tire is molded directly onto the wheel hub, which means no separation, stretching, or loosening of tread over time. Molded wheels like these are preferred by users seeking long-term performance with minimal maintenance. The construction resists wear from repetitive use and is less likely to develop flat spots compared to foam-filled or semi-pneumatic alternatives.

Compatibility 

The 6 x 1" 6 SPOKE Caster Wheel Molded On Tire fits many standard wheelchairs and transport chairs. It typically accommodates a 5/16" axle and is compatible with most 1" wide caster forks, making it a convenient upgrade or replacement for models that require a 6-inch diameter wheel. Always confirm hub width and bearing specifications to ensure proper fit for your specific wheelchair.

Lightweight and Functional Design

The 6-spoke pattern reduces the overall weight of the caster without compromising strength. This lightweight design is beneficial for wheelchair users who rely on quick turns and smooth directional transitions. It also contributes to energy efficiency for manual users, reducing strain during propulsion and turning.

Caster Wheel Molded On Tire Low-Resistance Ride

Unlike some 6 spoke caster wheels that create noise or drag across hard surfaces, the molded-on tire provides a quieter, more fluid roll. This makes it an excellent choice for those who use their wheelchair in noise-sensitive environments such as libraries, hospitals, offices, or shared living spaces.

Easy to Replace and Maintain

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic tools. Simply remove the old caster wheel from the fork, insert the new wheel, and secure with the appropriate axle bolt and spacers. Because the tire is molded on, there’s no need for inflation or tread maintenance.
