Invacare Action 1R Self Propelled Wheelchair

Detailed product information

The Action 1R is a practical self‑propelled wheelchair built for everyday use. Its large 24" rear wheels and lightweight aluminium handrims help users push themselves with less effort and allow carers to assist more comfortably when needed. The chair arrives ready to use and keeps things simple with a familiar manual wheelchair layout that many find straightforward to handle.

Comfort and fit are addressed through six seat width options, letting you choose a size closer to your needs. For extra leg support there are optional elevating legrests, and the swing‑away armrests make side transfers easier, while adjustable arm pads can be positioned to improve personal comfort. The quick‑release swing‑away footrests help speed up transfers and simplify storing or moving the chair.

Safety and transport have been considered in the build. The Action 1R is crash‑tested for use inside accessible vehicles, offering reassurance for travel when the chair is secured correctly. The folding chassis collapses smoothly, so the chair is manageable for storage or loading into a car, and you can add optional anti‑tippers for extra stability on inclines. Many parts are compatible with the wider Action range, which helps if you need replacement parts or upgrades later on.
