TiLite ZRa Series 2

Overview
The TiLite ZRa ultralightweight wheelchair offers the fit of a custom frame and features adjustable front and rear seat heights and angles. The large 1.25” diameter tubing gives the mono-tube frame superior rigidity with unparalleled vibration dampening. The Standard Edition has wall tubing of .65 with a chair weight of 10.7 lbs. and the SL Edition has wall tubing of .45 with a weight of only 8.7lbs.

What Makes This Different
Precision Lock Technology is a primary feature of TiLite’s Z frame chairs. The technology combines a minimal design with near unlimited adjustability and performance. TiLite’s Z series of chairs be adjusted in just a few minutes by reducing complexity and unnecessary steps. A Zero Play Camber Plug option produces a much tighter feel. The CNC machined billet aluminum fit removes any side to side movement. The rear wheels will feel as though they roll much faster and easier due to the tight fit. If you prefer adjustability in your rear wheel spacing, that is also possible so you can change tire widths and types.

Why We Like It
The ZRa is a great wheelchair for a newer user or someone wanting to change their set up. Adjustability is a prominent feature of the ZRa. The minimalist mono-tube frame affords excellent transportability and easy placement on a car seat.

Measuring Guide

Seat Depth1

Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.

Back Height2

Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.

Rear Seat to Floor3

Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.

Hanger Angle4

Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.

Seat Width5

Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.

Wheel Camber6

Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.

Front Seat to Floor7

Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.

Footrest Width8

Measure from the inside of each legrest tubing the distance or desired distance between legrests.

Center of Gravity9

Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axel.

Seat to Footrest Length10

Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.

Backrest Angle11

Measure the the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurment for every .5" of dump.
