Our wheelchair quick release pin axles are available in a range of different sizes to cover all lengths needed. The standard diameter and thickness of wheelchair pins is 1/2 inch (12.7mm) and we can also supply 12mm diameter too. The length will be determined by the wheels you have and the make/model of wheelchair.

Why are they known as wheelchair quick release axle pins?

These pins have a quick-release feature that makes them quick and easy to install. This feature also makes them very safe, ensuring the secure attachment of your wheels to your wheelchair.

First, you press the button at the top of the axel. This depresses the two ball-bearings at the far end of the axle. This then allows you to insert the axle through the wheel and into the hub. When correctly in place, you release the button. The ball bearings will then click into place providing a secure attachment.
