Did you know that Loopwheels are a UK distributor of Lignorim wooden push rims? These push rims are hand-crafted out of beautiful ash wood in Austria, and offer a range of benefits due to the properties of the wood material!
Loopwheels supply Lignorim pushrims for all types of wheels, not just Loopwheels!
Why choose wooden push rims?
Wooden push rims offer a range of benefits due to the unique features of the ash wood. They can also be an eye-catching addition to your wheelchair!
Great at any temperature.
Lignorim wooden push rims offer a very different experience to a traditional metal push rim. In particular, you will feel the difference in high heat or the freezing cold. The wood does not absorb heat or cold, meaning the temperature of the push rims stays stable in all types of weather.
The wooden push rims offer improved grip due to the surface’s resistance to water, meaning they will not become slippery in rain, snow or humid environments!

They’re built to last…
The strong laminar structure of the wood means that the push rims will not warp even in direct contact with water. This means they are extremely stable and do not deform.
The natural oil coating also makes Lignorim push rims very resistant to scratches. They also avoid any colour transfer or scratches onto doorways, furniture or your car!
