If you have seen a Wheelchair Rugby game you may have noticed that the Melrose Rugby Wheelchair is called the "Rhino", these sports wheelchairs and their users form a large part in the Melrose Wheelchairs business and the name "Rhino" has formed its own brand awareness amongst those sports people.

So we decided to get a Rhino for the garden. A few facts about the Rhino: It comes from Vietnam, is carved from a solid block of sandstone and it weighs over 2.5 tonnes.

And now it would like a name and because we are so busy building your next Melrose Wheelchair we don't have the time! So lets play "Name that Rhino!". The rules are simple, any name, either gender (girls play wheelchair rugby as well), the name will be chosen by a mainly unbiased panel of selectors, competition will end 28 February 2010. Prizes will be a signed photo of the Rhino plus some fantastic Melrose Apparel (t-shirt and maybe a cap and jacket).

This is a Chrome plated Steel Folding Wheelchair. The Chrome plating keeps it rust free and a quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps it looking shiny and new.

Although the footplates are the normal height adjustable swing away type, they also elevate and support your legs. This is helpful if you have been told by your GP to keep your leg up because of an injury. The Back also reclines flat for that afternoon nap. As well as the Frame folding, the Armrests, Footplates and Headrest are all removable for easy storage.

Pushing around should never be a problem as the Reclining Wheelchair comes equipped with solid tyres on Lightweight Composite Wheels, and it all stops with Push to Lock Brakes

We understand the Highs and Lows in Wheelchair Sports

The personal feedback we receive from Basketball players has ensured our continuing development of new and exciting frame technology. We custom build each Wheelchair to ensure a perfect fit, and to make sure that the athlete gets the very best out of their equipment.

We have some of the very best fabricators in the country producing our Wheelchairs, and only the best components are used, if the components don’t meet our high standards then we make them ourselves.

At Melrose Wheelchairs we can fabricate all our Wheelchair models in different sizes.

This Melrose Titanium Wheelchair has been reduced in size to suit a child, it incorporates "Melrose Growth Technology" to allow its use over a longer than normal period while your child increases in size.

The super low weight makes pushing eaiser - for adults as well as children, and also makes it eaiser to lift into motor vehicles.
