Basic Transit Wheelchair

Product details

This Basic Transit Wheelchair has a lightweight aluminium frame that keeps the overall chair easy to handle while remaining durable. It is an attendant-propelled transit chair designed for use both indoors and outdoors, making it suitable for short journeys and everyday tasks. The simple construction focuses on practical performance and easy care.

Comfort is provided by a nylon cord seat and backrest that give a flexible, breathable surface, and by desk-style armrests which make reaching tables and desks easier. The height-adjustable, swing-away footrests let you set a comfortable leg position and swing clear during transfers to improve access.

For control and stability the chair has attendant-operated cable brakes and solid front and rear castors, which help the chair roll steadily over typical indoor and outdoor surfaces. The rear cranked push handles give the attendant better leverage when pushing, and the chair features quick-release footrests to simplify handling and transfers.

When space is limited the Basic Transit Wheelchair simply folds to a compact size; the back is a half-folding type to reduce the overall profile and the chair can be stored in a car boot or a cupboard. The chair weighs 11 kgs, which helps with lifting and loading, and it supports a maximum user weight of 110 kg.

The finish and components are chosen for straightforward everyday use. The combination of the aluminium frame, solid castors and simple mechanical features keeps maintenance plain and predictable, and replacement parts are easy to identify if required.
