Swivel castors
For the proper functioning of the wheelchair it is very important that the tires are kept in order.
Solid tires that are worn yield less than optimal driving for the wheelchair. It also costs more energy to move the
wheelchair forward. Moreover, unnecessary wear will occur to the rims.
