A moving wheel platform that minimizes wheel interactions with noncontinuous and uneven surfaces. The platform provides rotation-inhibiting structures onto or into the moving wheel platforms that aids with eliminating wheel bite.
Claims20
A truck comprising:
- a hanger;
- the hanger comprising:
- an elongated body comprising a first end and a second end distal to the first end;
- a void formed and surrounded by the elongated body at the first end;
- a pivot saddle;
- the pivot saddle further comprises a pivot tip and a pivot body;
- wherein the pivot body surrounds an aperture;
- an axle coupled to the hanger and received within the void;
- a central wheel affixed to the axle;
- a single arm rotatably coupled to the elongated body, the arm comprising:
- a front region forming a front aperture;
- a middle region forming a middle aperture;
- a rear region forming a rear aperture;
- wherein the axle extends through the middle aperture of the single arm;
- wherein the axle provides an axis of rotation for the single arm;
- a front axle received by the front aperture;
- a first front wheel and a second front wheel coupled to the front axle;
- a rear axle received by the rear aperture;
