How to Prevent Wheelchairs from Rusting

2022-11-24handler1577

If the wheelchair uses materials that are prone to rust, then it is necessary to prevent its body from rusting at this time. Although wheelchair manufacturers now choose those lightweight and rust-resistant materials, the most common ones are aluminum alloys. In this way, the rain will not rust, but some other parts of the wheelchair are also prone to rust?

First of all, the parts that are prone to rust are its tires. Because the tire is in the lowest position when it is in use, it is more likely to be exposed to rain, and the tire has the longest contact time, so it is easy to rust. In fact, the fact that the tires are rusted does not mean that the materials used in the tires are not good. It is easy to corrode the surface of the wheelchair after being exposed to rain for a long time. Therefore, tire maintenance is very important. When there is water on the road, you should choose those dry roads to walk. When the tires are wet, they should be wiped dry in time.

Then there are the bearings of the wheelchair. There are many iron metal balls in the bearing part. Once these parts come into contact with rainwater, they will rust, so the bearings should be dried and lubricated in time after use to prevent rust.

Finally, most of the rear part of the body is made of aluminum alloy, as long as it is wiped clean with a dry cloth in time.
