Glide Products

Glide Products Glide is one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of high-quality manual and powered wheelchairs. The brothers remained owners of Glide until 2019.

Since the 1970s, our customers have trusted our expertly tailored and solidly constructed chairs for mobility, functionality and comfort. Our company was born from a dedication to precision and ingenuity. Two brothers from Perth with a shared passion for engineering set up business in the early seventies to make bespoke parts and equipment for a number of clients, including some hospitals. In the mid seventies, a major Perth hospital asked the brothers if they could manufacture wheelchairs to individual specifications. The brothers quickly put their skills and inventiveness to the test. They provided prototypes to the hospital with the promise that they could deliver a made-to-order wheelchair in weeks rather than months. Their resourcefulness was rewarded with a flood of orders as no other Australian manufacturer was producing suitable scripted wheelchairs at that time, Interstate orders soon started coming in and demand for their wheelchairs surged. The brothers decided to specialise in wheelchairs and in 1983, they re-branded their company to become Glide Products. By 1994, they were manufacturing a range of both manual and powered wheelchairs. Today, Glide continues the tradition of exceptional dedication to the craft, ongoing innovation and almost limitless customisation, maintaining our benchmark as Australia’s leading manufacturer of scripted wheelchairs. In the spirit of reconciliation Glide acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Glide was delighted to host Occupational Therapists from Access Foundation for a tour of our Wangara facilities. The session provided an inside look at how we design and manufacture customised 3D and mounded foam seating, along with a hands-on briefing on the range of manual wheelchair power add-on devices available through Glide.

It was a highly interactive visit, with plenty of opportunities for discussion and knowledge sharing. We hope all participants left with valuable insights into the technology and processes that support better mobility outcomes for clients.
At Glide, we are always pleased to welcome allied health professionals who want to see first-hand how a customised wheelchair is manufactured. Our team also provides on-site training in customised seating solutions, ensuring clinicians are fully supported to deliver the best outcomes for their clients.

If you’re an allied health professional interested in a behind-the-scenes look—or in upskilling through our tailored training sessions—we’d love to hear from you.
