Welcome to our site celebrating TiLite’s 25th year anniversary! Our first chairs went on sale in May of 1999 and quickly became known for their unique style and strength, with each chair being custom fabricated to the user’s specifications out of aerospace grade titanium tubing. We have continued in this tradition over the years with the addition of different materials to the lineup with aluminium and most recently carbon fibre. TiLite has always been at the forefront of technology and design, offering different material options and designs to satisfy different customer’s needs.
Frame material choice plays a pivotal role in how someone finds an ultra-lightweight manual wheelchair. It is key because frame choice affects the lightweight, durability, and configuration characteristics of a manual wheelchair. A more in-depth understanding of the materials and their specific application can improve confidence and clinical decision making.
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 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 concept TiFit and it can be pushed even further by options not on our standard order forms.
Hover over the dots below to see a few of the creative solutions offered through the Creative Mobility Division.

Modification reduces overall chair width by bringing the handrim closer to the wheel, for improved accessibility in narrow environments.
