Arnie (tow hitch for wheelchairs)
Description
The Arnie – your travel hero – is a compact wheelchair tow hitch that makes transporting luggage such as rolling suitcases, trolleys, or shopping bags easier. It is specifically designed for people who rely on a manual or electric wheelchair and want to remain independent while traveling or in daily life, without needing an assistant to pull their luggage.
The hitch is made of durable, lightweight aluminum and can be attached to both luggage and the wheelchair without any tools. Thanks to its adjustable gripping clamps with 3 × 360° technology, it fits various handle and frame shapes, tubes, or loops of common wheelchairs. The connected luggage remains securely attached to the wheelchair, even when navigating turns or uneven surfaces.
Arnie is especially compact and lightweight—about 328 g—yet it can handle luggage weighing up to 25 kg, making it far more robust and capable than simple hook or strap systems. With its intuitive handling, universal compatibility with various wheelchair models, and durable construction, it offers a well-thought-out solution for mobility and luggage transport.
The product has been awarded the Universal Design Award – Consumer Award, recognizing its user-friendliness, accessibility, and functional design.
