It's your TiLite Ultra-lightweight manual wheelchairs

Experience the evolution of mobility with TiLite.

Since launching our first chairs in May 1999, TiLite has set the standard for style, strength, and custom craftsmanship—each chair expertly built to your exact needs from aerospace-grade titanium. Over the years, we’ve expanded our lineup to include premium aluminium and cutting-edge carbon fibre, ensuring the perfect fit for every lifestyle. Driven by innovation, TiLite continues to lead in technology and design, offering a range of materials and styles to match your unique journey.

Wheelchair frame material

Choosing the right frame material is essential when selecting an ultra-lightweight manual wheelchair. The material impacts the wheelchair’s weight, durability, and overall performance. Understanding each of the materials and their specific application can improve confidence and clinical decision making. 

Aluminum-new

6000 & 7000 series aluminium

Aluminium remains a top choice for wheelchair frames due to its lightweight nature and cost-effectiveness. In the ultra-lightweight manual wheelchair industry, two main alloys are used: 6000 series and 7000 series aluminium.

Titanium-new

Titanium

Titanium offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. It’s exceptionally strong and long-lasting, yet light enough to allow for custom shaping and welding to fit each user—delivering a tailored fit without compromising durability.

Carbon-new

Carbon Fibre

Carbon fibre is a high-performance composite made from thousands of fibres, either woven or aligned in one direction. This flexibility allows engineers to customise the fibre layout to deliver strength exactly where it’s needed, making wheelchairs lighter and more responsive.

Wheelchair frame type

At TiLite, we like to offer our customers choices in the types of frames that best suit their individual needs. This includes more than just the obvious differentiator of a folding or rigid chair. We offer different frame designs in both of those categories, with different frame materials and price points. We further differentiate our rigid chair lineup by single (mono) tube and dual tube designs, each having their own benefits. Mono tube designs are the most popular as there's only a single frame tube that follows the body, while dual tube designs offer an additional lower tube for added strength and performance.

Configuration

Configuration means how the chair is designed and set up for the individual. This includes more than just the different options and seating choices. At TiLite we like to focus on how a chair is built for the individual. Most of our designs are custom fabricated to match each order as closely as possible and allow the user to specify individual bends to fit their ideal seating position. We call this approach TiFit. You can further customise your chair with options beyond those listed on our standard order forms.

Customisation

TiLite recognises that every person’s postural and mobility needs are unique. While our standard order forms suit most users, individual requirements sometimes call for tailored solutions. With the TiLite Creative Mobility Division, you can collaborate directly with our team of engineers and product experts to design creative, customised options that fit your specific needs.
