Polyurethane is highly resistant to wear and tear, which makes it a great choice for wheels that need to withstand regular use on various surfaces.
Shock Absorption:
These wheels provide a smooth ride because they absorb shock and reduce vibrations. This makes them particularly useful for mobility devices (like dog wheelchairs) that need to provide comfort on uneven or rough terrain.
Grip and Traction:
Polyurethane wheels offer excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, including asphalt, grass, and dirt, which is why they are often used on mobility carts for pets. They help ensure the wheelchair or cart remains stable.

Unlike inflatable tires, polyurethane wheels do not go flat, making them more reliable in preventing punctures or air loss. This is particularly beneficial for pet wheelchairs, where puncture-resistant, low-maintenance wheels are important.
