Wheel Rollers

About Wheel Rollers

Wheel rollers are workshop accessories used with a motorcycle's wheel. This category is small: it has two listings, a Standard model in red and a Deluxe model in black, both from HARDLINE. The titles do not say how they differ, so read each description for the wheel size and weight it is made for.

Before choosing, check the range of wheel or tire sizes the roller takes, its weight rating, and whether it is meant for the front or the rear wheel. If you want to lift a wheel off the ground, a paddock stand or lift is the tool for that, and you can compare them in Paddock Stands and Lifts & Jacks. Use any workshop support on a flat, firm floor.

For other supports, see Other Lifts & Stands. The whole group is Lifts & Stands.

FAQs on wheel rollers

What should I check before buying a wheel roller?

Check the listing for the wheel or tire size range, the weight rating and whether it is for the front or rear wheel. Compare those figures with your bike's specifications in the owner's manual before you order.

Is a wheel roller the same as a paddock stand?

No. A paddock stand holds the bike so a wheel hangs free, and it has its own category. A wheel roller is a separate accessory, so read its description to see what it does before you buy.

What is the difference between the Standard and Deluxe wheel rollers?

The two listings are named Standard and Deluxe and come in red and black. The titles do not say how they differ, so compare the descriptions and specifications, such as the size range and weight rating, before you choose.

Is it safe to leave a bike on a wheel roller?

Treat it like any workshop support. Use it on a flat, firm floor, check that the bike is stable before you let go, and never go over the weight rating. Follow the maker's instructions for the product.
