Magnelite Attendant-Propelled Wheelchair

Product details

The Magnelite uses a strong, lightweight magnesium frame that keeps the overall chair light at 9.5 kg, making it simpler for a carer to lift or place in a boot. The frame is built to fold down quickly to a folded width of 260 mm, so storing the chair between uses is straightforward. Integrated lift handles help with short moves and loading into vehicles, while a small storage bag on the backrest keeps personal items within reach.

To make transfers easier, the chair has flip‑up armrests and removable footrests that detach without tools. The large rear wheels (304 mm / 12") and front castors (152 mm / 6") give stable rolling on indoor floors and smooth outdoor pavements. The seat measures 450 mm wide by 420 mm deep with a seat height of 500 mm, offering a familiar, transit‑style seating position.

Safety and handling are supported by a state‑of‑the‑art braking system that helps keep the chair secure when stopped. The chair is intended to be pushed by an attendant rather than self‑propelled or powered, and it carries a maximum user weight of 125 kg (19 stone). Removable wheels and a foldable backrest make cleaning and occasional maintenance easier.
