What is a Rigid Frame Active Manual Wheelchair?
A rigid frame active manual wheelchair has a fixed frame that does not fold in the middle like a traditional folding wheelchair. Instead, the frame remains permanently connected, creating a strong and stable structure.
Why Choose a Rigid Frame?
Because there are fewer moving parts, the wheelchair is generally lighter and more responsive. When you push on the wheels, more of your energy is transferred directly into movement rather than being absorbed by joints or folding mechanisms within the frame.
The result is a wheelchair that feels more efficient to propel, making everyday journeys easier and reducing the effort required throughout the day.
Designed for Active Living
Active manual wheelchairs are created for people who want to remain independent and engaged in daily life.
Whether you are commuting to work, studying, meeting friends, travelling or simply moving around your home, a rigid frame wheelchair is designed to support those activities with confidence.
Most models come with optional extras in a number of colours that makes your chair absolutely bespoke to you. Ask our assessment team for more details.
