Installation, Operating & Care Instructions

For our US customers, this product is a LivingSpinal exclusive!

The Carbolife QUADRO handrims will shift the limits of your mobility!

QUADRO handrims are best for tetraplegics without triceps function, but they're a great handrim for anyone that prefers to push with their palms.

The specially adapted profile shape of the QUADRO handgrip on the biomechanics of tetraplegics without triceps offers you a much larger contact surface than conventional handrims. In combination with the extremely robust anti-slip coating, it gives you unsurpassed grip and efficiency in propulsion, as well as maximum control when braking and correcting the direction of travel.

How to Measure Your Handrim Dimensions

Your wheels on your wheelchair have either a Tab Mount or a Rivnut system for securing the handrims in place. Use the chart below to determine what your wheels have and what size you need.

CarboLife Handrims QUADRO (Pair) Buyer’s Guide

The CarboLife Handrims QUADRO (Pair) are engineered for wheelchair users who require enhanced grip control and optimized ergonomics during daily use. These high-performance handrims feature a unique square profile and advanced materials designed to improve power transfer and reduce strain on the hands and wrists.

CarboLife Handrims QUADRO Lightweight Carbon Construction

Each handrim in the Quadro wheelchair handrims is constructed from high-strength carbon fiber. This material not only ensures exceptional durability but also provides a lightweight feel that reduces the overall weight of the wheelchair, contributing to greater maneuverability and responsiveness.

Square Profile for Maximum Grip

The defining feature of the CarboLife Handrims QUADRO is their square tubular profile. Unlike round or oval handrims, the QUADRO shape offers flat, angular surfaces that improve grip precision. This design makes it easier to initiate propulsion and braking with less hand slippage.

CarboLife Wheelchair Handrims Designed for Controlled Braking

The QUADRO handrims provide increased surface area on the flat sides, which allows users to brake more effectively without needing excessive force. The squared design also helps dissipate heat more efficiently during extended braking, keeping the rims comfortable to the touch.

Advanced Ergonomic Design

By encouraging a more natural wrist position, the CarboLife Handrims QUADRO  help reduce stress on the joints during repetitive motion. The geometry is tailored to support users with varying levels of hand function, including those with limited grip strength or joint sensitivity.

Wheelchair Handrims by CarboLife Compatible with Standard Wheel Sizes

The CarboLife Handrims are available in common handrim diameters, making them compatible with most adult manual wheelchair wheels. They are easy to mount and replace, requiring no specialized tools for installation.

Matte Finish for Surface Control

The matte carbon surface of the QUADRO handrims enhances tactile feedback and provides a controlled feel during propulsion. Unlike polished or metallic handrims, the matte texture improves friction without creating excessive drag.

Ideal for Daily and Active Use

Although the CarboLife wheelchair handrims are optimized for ergonomic performance, they are equally suitable for users who need dependable function during high-frequency daily routines. Their lightweight design supports active users who navigate various environments throughout the day.
