Made-to-Measure Wheelchair Tray Gel Overlays

A wheelchair tray provides an essential platform for everyday activities, from eating and reading to communication, writing and using electronic devices. However, prolonged contact with a rigid tray surface can become uncomfortable, particularly for individuals who spend many hours each day in their wheelchair.

Gel Ovations’ Made-to-Measure Wheelchair Tray Gel Overlays provide a soft, supportive surface that fits precisely over an existing wheelchair tray, helping to improve comfort while maintaining full access to everyday activities.

Manufactured using our clinically proven Dimensional Gel, each overlay is individually made to suit the client’s existing tray, regardless of its size or shape.

Because Every Tray Deserves a Perfect Fit

Every wheelchair tray is different and very client is different. That Is why every Gel Ovations Wheelchair Tray Overlay is individually manufactured to provide the best possible fit, comfort and clinical outcome.

Three Easy Ways to Order

Option 1 — Full-Size Tray Tracing (Recommended)

For the greatest accuracy, we recommend providing a full-size tracing of the wheelchair tray.

Simply place a large sheet of paper over or beneath the tray and carefully trace around the complete outline.

Please include:

  • Complete outer profile
  • User-facing cut-out
  • Joystick cut-out (if applicable)
  • Left and right orientation
  • “USER SIDE” clearly marked
  • Tray manufacturer and model (if known)
  • Client reference number

The original tracing can then be posted to Gel Ovations for manufacture.

This is our preferred method for complex or bespoke tray shapes and provides the highest level of manufacturing accuracy.

Option 2 — Dimensions and Photographs

Many standard tray designs can be manufactured using detailed measurements together with clear photographs.

Where possible, please provide:

  • Overall tray width
  • Overall tray depth
  • User cut-out dimensions
  • Joystick cut-out dimensions (if applicable)
  • Any unusual curves or contours
  • Clear overhead photograph
  • Photograph showing a ruler placed on the tray for scale

Our manufacturing team will review the information and advise if any further measurements are required.

Option 3 – Manufacturer’s Drawing or CAD File

Some wheelchair services and manufacturers already have technical drawings or CAD files for their tray systems.

Where available, these can be emailed directly to Gel Ovations and may provide the quickest route to manufacture.
