WHEEL MAINTENANCE
The Classical Reformer consist of 10 wheels in total. The main 4 wheels (carriage wheels) are directly under the carriage and they roll on the track as the carriage moves. The other 4 (side wheels) are on the sides of the carriage to avoid friction between the carriage and the frame. The other 2 (back wheels) are on the back of the reformer and they allow the straps to flow smoothly functioning as a pulley system. Each set of wheels wear and tear differently and at different rates.
We specialize in removing, cleaning and lubricating all wheels, as well as the axel screws that the wheels spin on, and the washers for every set of wheels. In addition, we replace any bolts, screws, washers, castors and the wheels. The most common service initially needed for most reformers (Regular service) is the maintenance of the main 4 carriage wheels. These wheels wear faster due to their constant use, anytime the reformer moves at any degree. They carry the weight of the person using the reformer, which wears the main wheels at a more accelerated rate. (Note: the main carriage wheels are only serviced after inspecting the reformer and determining that there are no safety hazards with other wheels or part of the reformer that should be addressed immediately). If the technician determines that any additional work needs to be done on the other wheels (side + back wheels), the technician will advise during the maintenance, if the wheels need to be done immediately. Afterward, the technician will provide a report specify the additional work needed for the reformer.
Full Service is the maintenance of all 10 wheels on any reformer. During this service, all 10 wheels will be removed as well as the axel screws and the washers. All parts get cleaned with a degreaser and lubricated with white lithium grease. The full service also includes a complete safety check of all of screws, hinges, straps, handles, footbar, gearbar, track, links, hooks and headrest. Note: This service does NOT include deep cleaning, spring service, replacement or installation of parts such as headrest, shoulder blocks, footbar, upholstery or refurbishing.
