Innovative and Ergonomic Wheelchairs
For decades, badly designed wheelchairs have caused unnecessary discomfort and back pain and often created long-term health problems. Until now.
At TGA Mobility, our specialist team has drawn upon 30 years of experience crafting innovative mobility products to build comfortable, ergonomic wheelchairs that not only support your back properly but are also a pleasure to sit in for long periods.
So whether you choose a self-propelled wheelchair or a attendant-controlled model, our unique wheelchairs will help you maintain a healthy, upright posture so you can keep moving and enjoy your life without feeling cramped and inhibited by an old-style chair.
And with lightweight aluminium frames that make them easy to lift into the boot of your car for dog walks or days out by the sea, our cutting-edge wheelchairs will help you regain your independence and freedom.

Types of Wheelchairs
There are broadly two types of manual wheelchairs, plus powered models and powerpack options too.
Manual Wheelchairs
- Manual wheelchairs are designed to give you control over your movement using push rims on the rear wheels. They’re perfect for staying active and maintaining good upper-body strength. Check out the features of our ergonomically designed Strongback Self-Propelled model if you want a posture-supporting backrest for maximum comfort that also folds up and fits neatly in the boot of your car.
- Attendant-propelled wheelchairs – are lightweight and designed for someone to push you. With comfortable seats, supportive backrests and folding frames, they’re ideal for shopping trips and appointments. Simply fold it up and put it in your car boot, and you’re ready to go. Have a look at the innovative Strongback – Attendant Propelled model if you’re going to need some help.
Powered Wheelchairs
- Powered wheelchairs – take the effort out of getting around using a simple joystick control and motor. Electric wheelchairs are ideal if you find pushing yourself around challenging, tire easily during longer journeys, or don’t always have someone on hand to push you. If such effortless autonomy sounds like you, then our folding, lightweight and off-road WHILL and Scoozy Powerchairs will be right up your street (or path, or rough track).
- Wheelchair powerpacks – our innovative wheelchair powerpacks can be fitted to almost any type of wheelchair, including our own Strongback models. Powerful, versatile and easy to transport with your folding chair – these rechargeable battery packs make pushing easier for your attendant, have a range of 10 miles and a top speed of 4 mph carrying weights up to 26 stone.

Who Can Benefit from Using a Wheelchair?
Wheelchairs are for people who love life, value their freedom and want to retain their independence.
What Conditions Require the Use of a Wheelchair?
There’s a lot to consider when choosing a wheelchair to fit your lifestyle and individual health issues, including build quality, ergonomics and customer service. Above all, your chosen chair should enhance your comfort, not diminish it – so you’re free to explore all day if you choose.
That’s why many people are turning away from older, more uncomfortable designs that encourage slouching down in the chair to try modern wheelchairs that help them sit upright with a supported back and a healthy posture—like TGA’s innovative models.

Wheelchair Buying Guide: Different Features to Look For
Frame Material
Aluminium and steel are the most common materials used to build wheelchair frames. While steel frames are popular in many older-style wheelchairs used by the NHS, their added weight can make them less versatile.
Modern aluminium frames are equally durable and strong – but much lighter in weight – making them easier to push around and lift into your car boot for transit. All TGA’s wheelchair models are lightweight aluminium for this very reason and can still have a weight capacity of up to 21 stone.
Weight
At just 11.3kg, our lightweight Strongback wheelchairs are easy to push and fit into your car. So, if you like browsing around the shops, going on errands, or taking day trips with friends and family, you’ll discover a new level of autonomy and convenience with our innovative chairs.
Seat and Backrest
Your comfort is crucial, especially for long-term, everyday use, so look for cushioned seats and ergonomic backrests in the model you choose. Our Strongback wheelchairs have a choice of 16”, 18” and 20” padded seats, fixed or folding armrests and ergonomic backrests for improved posture and comfort – making every excursion a pleasure for you and your carer.
Mobility and Propulsion
You’ll also need to think about all the ways you can power your wheelchair, too – depending on your lifestyle and what you’ll need it for. Will you be pushing yourself around or getting someone to help? Will a powerpack help them to push you for longer distances? Or should you really be considering a mobility scooter if you want even more autonomy and freedom to roam?
Brakes and Safety
The best wheelchair models always come with attendant-controlled brakes and a push-down locking function for added safety. Our Strongback models have these features for increased stability, giving you and your carer complete peace of mind.
Folding and Portability
For maximum versatility and independence of use, make sure your chosen wheelchair is easy to fold and store. It can be stowed away in the cupboard under the stairs or in your car boot for those times you need to nip out for an appointment or travel further afield.
Wheelchair Accessories
Our lightweight, folding wheelchair models have a range of custom features to give you the most comfortable ride possible. They have padded seat sizes, fixed or adjustable armrests, ergonomic and supportive backrests, and optional battery power packs for ease of use. You just don’t get this level of innovation with older-style alternatives.

How to Choose the Right Wheelchair
As we’ve seen, choosing the right wheelchair involves several considerations, not least the fit and comfort features mentioned above.
However, you’ll also need to think about your budget and the mobility aid company you’re buying from, as these are key in terms of the after sales customer service and maintenance you’ll receive.
Budget Considerations
Your budget plays a vital role in selecting the right wheelchair to fit your circumstances. With older styled and more basic models, you will often pay less but compromise on comfort and portability – so the cheapest option is not always the best investment.
You’ll spend a lot of time in your chair, so ensuring you have an upright and fully supported posture is crucial if you want to maintain your long-term health when using your wheelchair.
Investing in an innovative, ergonomic model such as the Strongback can, therefore, help future-proof your independence and autonomy when it comes to the safe, secure, and healthy use of your wheelchair.

How to Maintain and Care for Your Wheelchair
Storage
Always store your wheelchair in a dry place, and avoid damp environments, which can cause rust. Folding wheelchairs should be fully extended when stored to avoid straining the hinges.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Your wheelchair will last longer if you carry out the following regular maintenance checks:
- Tyres – Check your tyres weekly. Look for good tread depth to keep traction optimial.
- Brakes—Test your brakes monthly to ensure they respond quickly and engage fully. This will keep you safe and give you peace of mind.
- Bearings – Lubricate all bearings and moving parts every three months with silicone-based lubricant for effortless rolling and turning.
- Armrests, backrests, and footrests—inspect these monthly and tighten any loose fittings to keep your chair stable and comfortable.
- Frame—Check your frame for damage every six months. If you spot cracks or bends, get them fixed immediately. You can also clean your frame weekly with a damp cloth.
- Upholstery—Clean your upholstery as soon as you notice any marks. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to keep your chair fabric looking its best.
