Super Lightweight (Tukan SL) Rigid Frame
The Wolturnus Tukan SL features a weight-optimised rigid frame that reduces rolling resistance and improves energy transfer. This supports smoother movement and reduced fatigue during daily use.
The wheelchair weighs less than 4kg (excluding wheels and cushion), and its open-frame design makes it easy to lift in and out of the car.
Integrated frame protection (IFP)
A weight-optimised integrated frame protection (IFP) system is welded into the front frame, providing a more durable wheelchair. The frame is constructed from 7020 aluminium and heat-treated to T6 specifications to ensure top quality and a long lifespan.
Custom Built Geometry
Use of your precise measurements from an assessment ensures optimal posture, balance, and control.
Performance-Focused Efficiency
Refined frame design and simplified components improve responsiveness while maintaining the strength required for everyday use.
Stable Everyday Handling
The Tukan SL is a robust and stable superlight frame, therefore suited for both indoor manoeuvring and outdoor travel.

A sleek, professional appearance and reduced maintenance requirements are enabled by minimising movable components, ensuring the ultra-light frame design.
