Product details
The Magnelite Self-Propelled Wheelchair centres on an ultra-light magnesium frame that reduces the effort needed to push and manoeuvre. Its self-propelled layout with large rear wheels helps maintain a steady pace across pavements and indoor floors, while the overall construction keeps the chair practical for everyday use. The unit weight of 11.45 kgs and maximum user weight of 125 kgs make it a capable choice for many users who value both strength and portability.
Ride comfort and control come from the combination of 22" rear wheels and 6" front castors, which together offer good manoeuvrability in tighter spaces and stable tracking outdoors. An advanced braking system gives the user or carer reliable stopping power and reassurance when stationary or during transfers.
Everyday practicality is built in: the chair has a foldable backrest and frame to reduce storage space, removable footrests and wheels for transport and servicing, and flip-up armrests to aid side transfers. Carry and lift points are provided with lift handles, and the integrated storage bag on the backrest keeps essentials within easy reach.
Seating dimensions are chosen for a balance of comfort and support. The chair includes a cushioned seat and a sensible seat width and seat depth, plus a backrest height that helps maintain a comfortable posture for daily use. The overall layout makes the Magnelite suitable for users who need a reliable, easy-to-manage wheelchair for short trips, community use and travel.
