Aktiv X5 HD Bariatric Crash Tested Transit Wheelchair

Detailed description

The Aktiv X5 HD sits on a reinforced frame built for stability and reliable support. It is crash-tested for vehicle transport and rated for a maximum user weight of 160 kg (25 stone), offering reassurance for transfers and journeys. The chair uses solid tyres and a practical castor setup to keep maintenance low and give steady performance over typical surfaces.

Comfort and transfer access are carefully considered with a padded 50mm seat cushion, a black nylon tension back and a flip-back, detachable armrest with PU arm pad. The swing-away, angle-adjustable leg rests and multiple axle positions allow you to set a suitable seat height, whether the chair is used for attendant-propelling or self-propelling.

Practical handling features include a fold-down backrest and quick-release rear wheels so the chair packs down for storage or transport. The Aktiv X5 HD comes in three seat widths—560mm, 610mm and 660mm—and has matching overall widths to suit different needs, while the unit weight remains manageable for carers at about 17.7 kg.
