Alerta Car Transit Wheelchair - Crash Tested

Product details

Crash-tested to EN ISO 7176-19 and designed for vehicle transport, the Alerta Car Transit Wheelchair gives clear focus on safety during journeys. The chair includes built-in anchor points to be used with a vehicle’s securing system and a fitted lap belt to maintain a safe seated position while the vehicle is moving. These features make the chair suitable for use in ambulances, minibuses and accessible vans where correct restraint and securement are available.

Portability is straightforward thanks to a folding backrest and light overall weight. It folds down to compact dimensions for car boot storage and weighs around 15 kg, making it easier for one carer to lift. The seat measures 430 mm x 400 mm, giving a clear indication of fit for everyday seating and for checking compatibility with vehicle spaces.

The chair is built for reliable everyday use with rear hand brakes to improve attendant control and drop-down armrests with padded supports to help with side transfers and table access. It rolls on 300 mm rear wheels and 200 mm front castors, all fitted with puncture-proof solid tyres for low-maintenance operation across indoor floors and pavements.

Practical dimensions when folded are useful for planning transport and storage: the chair reduces down to approximately 720 mm x 285 mm x 980 mm. That compact package helps free up car boot space and keeps the chair convenient for short outings or regular travel where space is limited.
