Abstract:
An apparatus for wheel maintenance includes a base configured to rotate about a vertical rotational axis and a frame mounted to the base that has a pair of opposing longitudinal members and a pair of opposing transverse members. First and second rollers are spaced apart from one another and coupled to the pair of opposing transverse members. Both the first and second rollers rotate about a longitudinal rotational axis orthogonal to the vertical rotational axis. In this way, when a wheel is positioned on the first and second rollers, the wheel may be rotated about the vertical rotational axis and a wheel rotational axis during a maintenance procedure.
