Heavy Duty Transit Wheelchair

Product details

This Heavy Duty Transit Wheelchair uses a chromium-plated heavy-duty steel tube frame to provide a stable, durable base for daily use. It supports a maximum user weight of 140 kgs (22 stone), so it suits people who need a higher-capacity transit chair. The frame construction gives confidence when moving between rooms or into a vehicle.

You sit on an upholstered, flame-retardant vinyl seat and back that is padded for comfort and easy to wipe clean. The chair has moulded, padded armrests to help you rest your arms securely and to assist with lateral transfers. The seat depth and width are sized to offer steady support while remaining practical for transfers and close seating situations.

This model includes detachable armrests and swing-away, detachable footrests that are height adjustable and fitted with a heel strap. Those features help with standing transfers and make it simpler to fit the chair into tight spaces. When needed, the chair folds using an easy folding mechanism, making it easier to store at home or load into a vehicle.

Wheels and safety features focus on controlled movement and secure stops. It has rear and front wheels sized for transit use and a progressive and parking braking system to hold the chair steady during transfers and while parked. The chair has been crash-tested for safe travel in Wheelchair Access Vehicles (WAV), which is important if the chair will be transported regularly.
