Cheney VPL 6" Red Roller Wheel for Platform Lift

This premium 6-inch crowned polyurethane drive wheel replaces M10054 and is engineered specifically for vertical platform lifts (VPLs) including:

• Access Industries Series 2000
• Cheney Handi-Lift VPL systems
• Many other wheelchair lifts requiring the same specifications

Designed for smooth, quiet, and reliable travel, this wheel features a mold-on polyurethane tread, precision-machined aluminum hub, and a Delrin self-lubricating bearing for long service life and consistent performance in heavy-duty wheelchair lift applications.

Why This Wheel Outperforms Standard Caster Replacements

Many generic casters and industrial wheels do not fit properly in VPL systems due to hub alignment differences. This roller features offset, asymmetrical hubs specifically required for proper clearance and tracking in most lift systems. Wheels with centered hubs may bind, wear prematurely, or compromise lift travel.

Choosing a purpose-built VPL roller ensures compatibility, safety, and longevity.

Safety & Maintenance Best Practice

For optimal performance and safety, we strongly recommend replacing all drive wheels at the same time.
Rollers wear as a matched set — replacing only one or two can:

• Create uneven load distribution
• Accelerate wear on remaining wheels
• Affect ride smoothness and system alignment
• Increase noise and vibration
• Lead to additional service calls and downtime

Replacing the full roller set saves time, labor, and future maintenance costs.

Vertical platform lift rollers are critical load-bearing safety components. For optimal performance and safety, this wheel should be installed by a qualified lift technician or experienced service professional familiar with wheelchair lift systems.
Always follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines and replace rollers as a complete set to ensure balanced operation and user safety.
