Standard Transit Wheelchair

Product details

The Transit Wheelchair is built on a sturdy chrome-plated steel frame that gives a reliable base for daily use. The seat and back use flame-retardant, wipe-clean upholstery, which makes it straightforward to keep the chair hygienic. Together, these materials make the wheelchair durable without being complicated to maintain.

Comfort features include padded, removable armrests and detachable swing-away footrests that can be adjusted to suit different users. The footrests offer a range of heights so legs can rest more comfortably, and the armrests lift or come off for easier transfers or side access. These simple adjustments help tailor the chair to individual needs during short journeys.

Practical details focus on safety and transport. The chair has integrated stainless steel skirt guards to protect clothing and reduce draughts, along with solid puncture-proof front wheels and large pneumatic rear wheels for a smoother push. Push-to-lock brakes allow the attendant to secure the chair when it is stationary. The frame folds down to a much smaller size, which helps with storing the chair or fitting it into a vehicle.

This model is fully crash tested (ISO7176 Part 19), confirming it meets the standard for transit use in appropriate vehicles. It weighs 21 kg and supports a maximum user weight of 115 kg (18 stone). The overall dimensions and wheel sizes give a compact profile suited to most everyday transport situations.
