Holes drilled for bolts is one of the main stress points for wheelchairs, and with the Tru-Fit system holes are reduced by 50%! This system also allows infiite adjustment as there is no need to line up bolts with holes.

Features

Tru-Fit System
The Aero R features TiLite’s Tru-Fit Component System - comprised of the Rigid Folding Mechanism, Adjustable Bullet Front Caster Housing and Curved Axle Plate.  Instead of bolting through frame-weakening holes, Tru-Fit System components clamp directly onto the side frames.  The Tru-Fit System eliminates one of the main stress points on today’s wheelchairs by reducing the number of holes in the frame by 50%.  In addition, the Tru-Fit System allows for infinite adjustability of its components since there is no need to line up components with pre-drilled holes. This design innovation also greatly improves the durability of the Aero R frame.

Fixed or Swing Away Front End
The Aero R is available with either a fixed or a swing away front end. The hangers are removable when swung in or out 15 degrees from the locked position.  The swing in or out feature of the removable front hangers on the Aero R facilitates transfers in tight spots, like a restroom or a car.

Adjustable 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.  Plus, the adjustable version of the Bullet Caster Housing found on the Aero R provides 15 degrees of forward and rearward adjustment.  This allows you to square the casters even with the most aggressive seat slopes.  Like many of TiLite’s innovations, the Bullet Caster design reduces the weight of the chair.  Sometimes simple really is better.

Curved Axle Plate
TiLite’s Curved Axle Plate allows for the greatest range in center of gravity adjustment and rear seat height adjustment. 

Camber Tube
The Aero R utilizes a camber tube typically not found on this style of chair.  Other manufacturers in this product class utilize camber plugs bolted to an axle plate.  This is significant because a camber tube provides a direct link between the two rear wheels.  This direct link provides rigidity at the rear of the frame, strengthens the axle plates, and aligns the wheels.  

Machined Camber Plugs
The TiLite Aero R utilizes machined plugs to create rear wheel camber. Other manufacturers use washers to create rear wheel camber. The use of machined camber plugs precisely aligns the Aero R’s rear wheels, allowing the chair to consistently track straight.

TiShaft Back Release Bar
The Aero R features the TiShaft back release bar, which eliminates the outdated string used to fold the backrest on most chairs.

TiLite in color?
The TiLite Aero R is now available in one of 17 painted frame colors.  Whether you are looking for subtle, bright, or just plain cool, now there is a TiLite look for you.
