Description
Broda Elite Tilt Wheelchair delivers up to 40 degrees of tilt-in-space without a reclining back, keeping the user's seated posture fixed while caregivers change the angle of the whole seat. That single-motion design suits users whose hips must stay at a set angle, and its Comfort Tension Seating surface supports long sitting days.
- Up to 40° of tilt with no recline, so hip angle stays constant
- Comfort Tension Seating straps contour to the body and remove for cleaning
- Height-adjustable, swing-away removable arm supports
- Angle-adjustable articulating lower leg support
- Caster or mag wheel configurations in 16, 18 and 20 in seat widths
Elite Tilt Wheelchair with Tilt-Only Positioning
Some seating plans call for tilt only: the user needs pressure shifts and gravity-assisted positioning, but the seat-to-back angle must not open. The Elite Tilt answers that brief with 40 degrees of tilt-in-space on a fixed back, so the posture a clinician sets in the morning is the posture the chair keeps all day. Its articulating lower leg support adjusts in angle to match the leg position the care plan calls for, and the arm supports swing away for transfers, then adjust in height for arm and tray positioning. Seat widths run from 16 to 28 in across the range with depths from 15.5 to 22 in, and the stocked configurations cover the most common 16, 18 and 20 in widths. A 350 lb capacity and the powder-coated steel frame make it a durable daily chair for homes and facilities alike.
Features and Benefits
Tilt-Only Positioning
Full tilt range with a fixed back angle, by design. The seat and back move as one unit through every position change.

- No recline, so the hip angle a clinician sets stays set
- Comfort Tension Seating surface for all-day sitting support
- Gravity-assisted positioning helps with tone and head control
Supports and Transfers
Arms and leg supports that adjust to the care plan and move out of the way for transfers. That flexibility helps one chair serve users with different support needs.

Why Choose the Broda Elite Tilt Wheelchair?
Chairs that recline change the hip angle every time they move; this one does not, and for some users that is exactly the point. The Elite Tilt keeps the seating plan intact while still giving caregivers a full 40 degrees of tilt for pressure care.
- Posture stays put – tilt moves the whole seat as one unit — the fitted hip and trunk angles survive every position change
- Simpler for caregivers – one positioning motion instead of two — staff learn one control and positioning stays consistent across shifts
- Pressure care without recline – 40° of tilt still offloads the seat effectively — users who cannot tolerate recline get real weight shifts
- Long service life – a steel frame warranted for 10 years — the chair outlasts several cushion and strap refresh cycles

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a tilt-only chair instead of tilt and recline?
Recline opens the seat-to-back angle, which some care plans must avoid, for example after hip procedures or where hip flexion has to stay fixed. Tilt-only positioning changes the user's angle to gravity for pressure relief while the hip angle remains exactly where the clinician set it.
Does the lack of recline limit pressure relief?
No. Tilting to 40 degrees shifts a substantial share of weight off the seat surface and onto the back, which is the main mechanism of a repositioning break. Caregivers can schedule tilt breaks through the day without changing the user's fitted posture.
What widths are stocked?
The stocked configurations are 16, 18 and 20 in seat widths, each in caster or mag wheel form. The Elite Tilt range extends to 28 in wide, but those wider builds are not stocked options on this page.
Are the arm supports removable?
Yes. The arm supports adjust in height, swing away and remove completely, which helps with side transfers, hygiene care and fitting the chair at tables. The lower leg support also articulates and adjusts in angle.
What warranty does Broda provide?
The frame carries a 10-year warranty and all parts carry a 2-year warranty from Broda. The coverage is the manufacturer's standard warranty for its wheelchair line.
