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.
