Buying Guides: RGK – manual wheelchairs for optimised posture & comfort

This is the first in a series of blogs from some of our industry partners. We carefully select a number of companies and organisations we think would be of interest to our customers, signposting further information and resources.  This week we kick off with RGK wheelchairs…

“Founded in 1988, RGK have been pushing the limits of the industry from the very start. RGK was born in the garage of our founders who just knew that there was better out there and if no one else was going to do it then who better than themselves?

Innovation is at our core, and we have been expanding the boundaries in design for over 30 years to produce the best for our customers. We manufacture sport and daily made to measure wheelchairs.  Optimising posture, comfort, and performance, the ‘real’ made to measure is unlike any other and allows individuals to adjust the characteristics of their wheelchair to suit their individual needs, ensuring they can enjoy an active lifestyle.

Lightweight and compact

Our team of mobility advisors have expert knowledge in the field and will take our customers through the assessment process from first enquiry right through to handover. We take over 30 individual measurements, offer a range of ergonomic options, and by offering these options, the measurements are suited to you. This optimises the design of the chair ensuring it is as lightweight and compact as possible.

RGK Sub-4 Range

RGK wheelchairs are built for everyday adventures, whether it’s to travel the world, take to the courts, or get to work, we have a chair for you. Our Sub4 Range is Ultra-Lightweight with a guaranteed transport weight* of less than 4KG. A lighter wheelchair means everyday actions become easier, transferring into the car and pushing long distances becomes effortless.

RGK FX Range

Our FX range provides you with the perfect travel companion. With revolutionary Q-Lock folding technology, the FX chairs fold into a size that fits into most airline overhead lockers or the foot well of your car. No more worrying about whether your wheelchair made it to your destination in one piece, or at all! Without compromising on weight or rigidity, the FX range provides all the benefits of a rigid chair with the added benefit of compactness.
