Rigid Folding Frames

Rigid frame wheelchairs are renowned for their robustness and are a good choice if you're trying to get the most out of your chair. They are also more efficient than folding frames, as the weight of the mechanism that folds isn't an issue.

The rigid frames are made from a variety of different materials including titanium, lightweight, carbon fibre and aluminum, so you're sure to find the right one for you.

Another advantage of a rigid wheelchair is that it does not fold side-to-side, which could sometimes be a problem for folding frames that need to bend to fit into vehicles. This can cause the casters to move further forward from the footplate, which could negatively impact your driving experience as it makes pushing harder because of the increased drag.

A rigid wheelchair can be made to taper between the hips and knees, or the aluminum can be made smaller between the knees and the footrest.

The rigid frame of a wheelchair can be constructed from lighter materials such as titanium. It is more durable and lighter than aluminum, but also more resistant to corrosion. Some rigid frame wheelchairs feature foldable travel wheelchair footplates that increase the range of motion for the user. These features can increase the wheelchair's overall comfort and help in guiding the user over rough terrains.

Rigid wheelchairs are also less likely to bend which could reduce the effectiveness of the propulsion systems. The frame of the wheelchair will transmit less energy to the movement since it is flexing.
