Birgitte Pedersen lives a perfectly normal life with husband, children and grandchildren. She never 

lets her wheelchair set limits - quite the contrary. Birgitte and her husband moved to a beautiful 

area in the Danish countryside. In this kind of rural place, it’s not always easy to get around in a 

wheelchair. But this is where they wanted to live.

Birgitte has been a wheelchair user since she was 15 years old. For the past three years, she’s lived 

her life using a Tukan rigid wheelchair. She already knows that, if she ever needs a new wheelchair 

in the future, she wants the exact same model.

”I’ve always loved this minimalist model. When you feel at one with your wheelchair, the possibili-

ties are endless. I do feel at one with my Tukan. It is a natural extension of me.  I was so pleased 

when I learnt that Wolturnus made a wheelchair with an open frame.”

Birgitte reports that she has tested her wheelchair to extremes. Among other things, she’s used it 

on a trip to Australia during which she went snorkelling off the Great Barrier Reef and, in 40° heat, 

negotiated 11 kilometres of rocky terrain around Ayers Rock.

”The wheelchair was easily up to the job. It can handle anything. Heat and the distribution of en-

ergy and water intake were the challenges.”

Birgitte’s Tukan can handle extremes but, even more importantly, it can handle her normal require-

ments both on special occasions and on a day-to-day basis.

It transports her in the garden, on hilly nature trips and to concerts, parties and dances. Most im-

portantly of all, it is ideal when the grandchildren visit.

The wheelchair has been adjusted specifically to meet Birgitte’s everyday needs. The front part of 

the frame and the footrest have been widened slightly to create a small standing space. Birgitte’s 

grandchildren mean the world to her. This simple adjustment has brought their worlds even closer 

- now the grandchildren can crawl up on to granny’s lap all by themselves

   


I’ve always loved this 

minimalist model. When 

you feel at one with your 

wheelchair, the possi-

bilities are endless.

 FiTTing

 Technology

Our consultants have many years of experi-

ence. They enter into a dialogue with users 

and ergotherapists about measurements, 

choices, trying out products, adjustment, 

maintenance and how to use the products. 

Using their expertise, they design active seat-

ing positions and advise users about frame-

design options, choice of equipment and ac-

cessories. Getting fitted for a rigid Wolturnus 

wheelchair typically involves two consulta-

tions.


before the fitting

To prepare for the fitting, your consultant 

needs to know:

 

›  Your weight, height, handicap and 



       lifestyle

›  Your current wheelchair’s seat width, trunk   

       height, seat depth and lower leg length

›  Cushion choice



First consultation

Your consultant will visit with a standard ad-

justable model that, to the greatest degree 

possible, takes account of the information 

you provided in advance. Following an in-

depth discussion about your daily routine 

and about your requirements, you will try out 

the wheelchair. Your  consultant will adapt 

the chair to suit your anatomy and make 

adjustments to help you achieve an active 

seated position:

›  Seat depth adjusted to suit your cushion

      and leg length

›  Backrest adjusted to suit your trunk

      height and shape

›  Balance point adjusted

›  Seat and back upholstery straps adjusted

›  Footrest height and angle adjusted to suit

      your lower leg length and feet position

  Individual footrests are used for unequal

      leg length

When the wheelchair has been fully ad-

justed, you will assess your experience of 

the seating position. If the fully-adjusted 

standard wheelchair meets your require-

ments, wishes and needs, your wheelchair 

is now ready and it is yours to keep.

If you have special requirements that could 

not be met by the standard adjustable 

wheelchair, your consultant will take very 

precise measurements in order to custom-

ise a wheelchair.

Your consultant will review the order with 

you in order to confirm that everything 

meets your expectations.

Second consultation

Your consultant delivers the wheelchair to 

you and makes final adjustments to ensure a 

personal fit.

a design team

with great expert knowledge 

and insight into your needs

The Wolturnus design team

Our design team comprises both specialists 

from the cycling industry and wheelchair-us-

ers who have competed in elite sports at the 

highest level for years. Our product series are, 

therefore, based on intensive development; 

deep insight into your needs; and knowledge 

from extreme sports in which our wheelchairs 

and handbikes have excelled since 2002.

customised solutions, made in 

denmark

All Wolturnus wheelchairs and handbikes are 

made by hand in Denmark. Because we pro-

duce them ourselves, we have a unique op-

portunity to custom-build special solutions 

for individual customers, precisely adapted 

to meet their needs and wishes.

geometry and accessories are key

The geometry of a wheelchair is key to the 

way it handles. Based on your body shape and 

posture, we design a frame that minimises 

rolling and turning resistance and maxim-

ises stability. Based on your body shape and 

weight, we specify the dimensions of the 

frame tubes. A heavier user is ensured a suf-

ficiently strong, stable wheelchair. A lighter 

user will never have to drag surplus weight 

around. 

Mounted accessories are carefully considered 

because any increase in weight influences 

the way a wheelchair handles. We always rec-

ommend lightweight parts and accessories.

Focus on frame rigidity

The stiffness-to-weight ratio is key to the 

way a wheelchair handles. Aluminium is 

a lightweight metal with extremely high 

strength and rigidity.

Our frames are made of 7020 (AIZn4.5Mg1) 

aluminium. This is the strongest aluminium 

alloy that can be welded. It is more rigid than 

any titanium alloy. It is the preferred alloy for 

armoured vehicles, motorbikes and bicycle 

frames. Our unique Sigma Tubing technology 

optimises strength during the manufacture 

of large tubes with thin walls. Together, these 

achieve an extreme stiffness-to-weight ratio. 

The result is ultimate stability.

high-strength Tig welding 

Wolturnus always employs TIG (Tungsten In-

ert Gas) welding. Combined with a protective 

argon-helium gas compound, this prevents 

grains from developing during the welding 

process. This ensures that the material re-

tains its maximum strength.

hardening and precise alignment 

ensure ultimate handling

Any tension that has arisen during the pro-

cess is eliminated by heat-treating the frame 

at a very high temperature after welding. 

The frame is then measured and any neces-

sary adjustments are made to ensure that 

the final product is perfectly aligned. Finally, 

the frame is hardened by a process of pre-

cisely calculated temperature changes that 

restore maximum strength to every single 

microgram of aluminium.

corrosion-resistant. impact-resistant. 

Scratch-resistant.

The anodising process enables integral col-

ouring, increases resistance and hardens the 

surface. A layer of aluminium oxide is added 

to the aluminium surface. Aluminium oxide is 

one of the world’s hardest materials. It meas-

ures 9.7 on the 10-point Moh scale of rela-

tive hardness. (Diamonds: 10. Glass: 5.6.) The 

treatment results in an extraordinarily hard-

wearing and maintenance-free surface. It 

ensures the ultimate in corrosion-resistance. 

It creates a coloured, durable surface that is 

resistant to dents and impacts.

Quality control

At Wolturnus, there is strict quality control 

of all products and processes during devel-

opment and manufacturing. We optimise on 

a continual basis in accordance with new 

knowledge and new experience.

 WolTuRnuS

Built for Freedom



Wheelchairs

  



Made in denmark

All Wolturnus wheelchairs are 

designed and manufactured in 

Denmark. Most wheelchairs are 

built on location to the specific 

measurements and requests of 

the individual customer.

At Wolturnus, our fundamental basis for build-

ing  wheelchairs isn’t all the things that we know 

our customers can’t do. It’s all the things we know 

they can do. 

What we do is build excellent wheelchairs. What we sell is a good life. A life free of wor-

rying about your  wheelchair breaking down and needing costly and time consuming 

repairs. Without worries of the wheelchair causing you painful health problems. A life 

with the opportunity to participate, to take an active part in the lives of your friends and 

loved ones. 

We understand how important your wheelchair is to you. The perfect wheelchair is 

built to your individual needs and customised according to your particular wishes and 

your specific lifestyle, ensuring the best possible comfort and minimising the risk of 

sequela. 

For many of our customers, the chair becomes an extension of the body, allowing for 

mobility that would otherwise have been impossible, an essential part of their identity 

and a natural part of life. But that symbiosis does not happen overnight and not with 

any wheelchair. Just like a pair of shoes, one size – and one model - does not fit all. No 

two people are the same, and no two wheelchair users have the exact same needs 

and the exact same lifestyle.    

Whatever your lifestyle and whatever your definition of the good life, it’s our job to 

make it happen. At Wolturnus, we build wheelchairs that allow you to live the life, you 

deserve. 

 We look forward to building your good life.
