Orion

Orion Manual Wheelchair

Orion is a heavy-duty yet lightweight manual wheelchair designed for strength, stability, and daily practicality. It combines durable construction with easy handling, making it suitable for both self-propelled and assisted use.

Unlike traditional bulky reinforced chairs, the Orion heavy-duty manual wheelchair maintains structural rigidity while keeping the overall weight manageable, making transport and storage more convenient.

Lightweight & Durable Construction

Orion uses a high-grade aluminium alloy frame to provide strength without unnecessary bulk.

• Total weight: 13 kg
• Main frame: 8 kg
• Rear wheels: 3 kg per pair
• Footrests: 2 kg per pair
• Tested up to 125 kg capacity

The oval tube frame design improves structural rigidity while maintaining a modern, matte black finish. This heavy-duty manual wheelchair balances reinforced strength with reduced overall weight, making it easier to handle than traditional, bulky reinforced models.

Easy Handling & Transport

• Quick-release rear wheels allow faster dismantling for storage or transport. When dismantled, Orion becomes compact enough for car boots and travel use.

• High-quality wheels ensure smooth rolling, making it easier for users to self-propel or for caregivers to push with confidence.

Adjustable for User Comfort

Orion provides practical adjustability to support different body types and posture needs.

• Individually height-adjustable armrests (raisable for transfers)

• Length-adjustable and removable footrests

• Tension-adjustable backrest for better posture support

• Detachable and washable seat and backrest covers

These features enhance comfort without adding unnecessary complexity.

Stability & Safety

Larger front wheels improve stability on uneven surfaces. Strong aluminium front forks support durability without excess weight.

• Caregiver hand brakes with brake lock

• User hand brakes for independent control

• Calf support and safety belt included

Why Orion

This heavy-duty manual wheelchair is suitable for users who require higher weight support while still valuing manageable weight and transport convenience. Its balanced frame design makes it practical for daily mobility, medical visits, and assisted travel without the oversized appearance of traditional reinforced wheelchairs.
