Glide Front Suspension Fork The Glide forks have been developed and designed for TiLite wheelchairs for those who like front suspension forks. The Glide suspension fork is available in either single arm or dual arm models.

NiteLite Reflective Back Upholstery
* This back upholstery option has a silver coloured 3M Scotchlite high visibility reflective material making the wheelchair visible at dawn, dusk, night and in all weather conditions. This option is available on all models.

Black Hard Anodised Hand Rims
* These black handrims are type 3 anodised which results in a tough, stronger anodised finish to reduce chipping and scratching. ( The suppliers have found that with the softer aluminium handrims, the anodising wears off over time and users end up with black hands). The silver anodised rims are still standard no charge, the black hard anodised is an upcharge option.

Zero Play Aluminium Camber Plugs
* These plugs give a much tighter feel to the chair, like sports suspension in a car. CNC machined from billet aluminium to the highest tolerance, Zero Play camber plugs remove side to side movement of the rear wheels. Available on all rigid chair models as a no charge option in 0, 2, 4 and 6 degrees. Note, spacers cannot be used to widen the chair if this option is selected.

Transit Options
* Tie Down Brackets and Transport Bracket options. Tie Down Brackets have been crash tested and should be used whenever someone will be transported in a vehicle whilst still in their wheelchair. Transport Brackets HAVE NOT been crash tested, and are for securing unoccupied wheelchairs in vehicles.

Considerations

Wheelchair Restraints
When transporting a person in a wheelchair in a car or van, both the occupant and the wheelchair require an RMS (formerly RTA) approved restraint system. The wheelchair and the occupant need to be separately secured to the vehicle itself.
RMS approval is not required for a postural support, such as a harness, that supports the user in the wheelchair but is not part of the vehicle restraint system.
The use of a headrest is not legally required but strongly recommended. Easily detachable, folding headrests which fit a wheelchair with standard push handles are available. Refer to section Wheelchair, Scooter, Cushions, ramps / Postural Supports - Seating System: Restraint+ Head+Back+Seats.
