TiLite YR

Raising the Bar to a Whole New Level.

Titanium

The TiLite TR is hand crafted from seamless, aerospace-grade titanium.

Custom Built

Each TR begins life in our Designs Unlimited Studio, where we draw the frame to each user’s individual specifications.  Next, TiLite fabricators and welders bring the drawings to life by hand building the TR’s 1.00” dual-tube titanium frame to exacting standards.  Finally, before each TR leaves the TiLite factory in Washington State, we carefully assemble and inspect it to ensure that it matches precisely what our customer has ordered.  Each TR is like no other TR.

Raising the "Bar”

Rigid wheelchairs with upper and lower frame tubes maintain more rigidity than mono-tube wheelchairs, which only have upper frame tubes.  The more rigid the frame, the more optimal the energy transfer between the user’s push and the wheels’ rotation.  On the TR and YR, TiLite minimized the space between the lower frame tubes and the upper frame tubes, thereby achieving increased rigidity for improved performance without sacrificing compactness for transport purposes. 

Bullet Caster Housing

TiLite’s exclusive Bullet Caster Housing was created by designing an integral frame component with two goals in mind; low weight and elegant looks.  Like many of TiLite’s innovations, the Bullet Caster design reduces the weight of the chair.  Sometimes simple really is better.

TiShaft Back Release Bar

The TR and YR also feature the TiShaft back release bar, which eliminates the outdated string used to fold the backrest on most chairs.
