ActiveHeight™ lets you rise above the status quo with 12″ and 14″ seat elevator options and ActiveReach™ forward tilt technology creates 4.5″ of additional reach. Vertical stand allows for socialization at a peer-to-peer level.
Inspired design
The F-Series builds on over 50 years of experience to create our most capable family of front wheel drive power wheelchairs ever. We’ve combined a low center of gravity, optimized weight distribution and powerful high efficiency motors to offer enhanced base stability, obstacle climbing and chair responsiveness.
Stand without compromise
We combined all of the performance features of the F5 Corpus with superior power standing functionality. Fully programmable standing sequences allow user position to be optimized using supine, semi-reclined or sit-to-stand techniques.
Strength and stability
Power meets performance on the new F5 Corpus with a blazing 7.5mph top end speed and upgraded ComfortRide Pro suspension. All-wheel independent, fully adjustable, oil dampened shocks provide the ultimate in ride comfort while helping to reduce vibrations that can transfer from terrain up to user.
Small footprint, big impact
The F3 Corpus offers the smallest footprint of the F-series front wheel drive power wheelchairs. Its compact size and agility allows users to easily maneuver in and out of tight spaces.

As we continue working our way through power wheelchair topics our focus turns to the different power seat functions available on the market today.Simply put, power seat functions are the different positions a power wheelchair can achieve. These different positions can be important to perform functional tasks during the day (e.g., seat elevation for reaching items) and/or they can be important to prevent medical complications (e.g., posterior tilt and recline for skin protection). Today we're taking a closer look at power tilt and power recline.
Drive Wheel Placement and Indoor Maneuverability
This is the 3rd blog in our series about power wheelchairs. Check out the 1st blog & 2nd blog. Check out our Power Wheelchair Guide for more information about power mobility.
In our last blog about power wheelchairs and mobility, we discussed the benefits and considerations of drive wheel placement. This week we're continuing our look at drive wheel placement in regards to indoor maneuverability.
When instructing for indoor maneuvering, keep in mind:
wheelchairs pivot at the drive wheel
initiate the turn when the center of the drive wheel reaches the corner
for FWD, hug the wall the wheelchair will be turning towards
for RWD, stay further away from the wall the wheelchair will be turning towards
with a longer wheelbase and the further back the drive wheel is on the base of the WC, there may be additional pivoting needed to line up effectively
TiLite: How to find a Balanced Ride
As an occupational therapist working in seating clinics, it was important for me to prescribe equipment that met as many of my clients’ needs as possible. The more I focused on their needs, the more I understood that providing even the best ultra-lightweight manual wheelchair still meant there would be some tradeoffs. For me, this was a daunting task at times, but there was nothing better than hearing a client say that their new ultra-lightweight manual wheelchair “feels like it’s a part of me.”
We take a personal approach to complex rehab equipment.
That’s right, personal.
Because we know every person faces unique challenges in mobility, comfort and safety. Challenges our pioneering spirit can solve through design, engineering and technology.
