StowLite Attendant Propelled Wheelchair

Detailed description

The StowLite Attendant Wheelchair is built around a strong aluminium frame that keeps weight low while remaining durable for regular use. Its widthways folding design and folding backrest reduce the chair's footprint, making it straightforward to store or place in a car. Carrying is easier thanks to the integrated carry handles that sit within the folded seat, so a carer can lift the chair with less fuss.

Portability is helped further by the detachable footrests and quick-release rear wheels, which drop away to make the folded package even smaller. The chair folds down to a width of 360 mm, helping it fit into tighter spaces in a boot or cupboard. These features make the StowLite a practical choice when space and ease of handling matter.

Comfort is kept simple and effective with a breathable nylon seat and a matching breathable backrest that encourage airflow while offering everyday support. The padded armrests help when sitting for short periods, and the swing-back armrests unlock and pivot to give easier side access for transfers.

For the attendant, the StowLite offers shaped, textured push handles set at a fixed handle height of 920 mm for comfortable pushing by most users. The locking attendant brakes are positioned on each handlebar so the chair can be safely secured when stationary. For extra stability the chair is supplied with adjustable anti-tip wheels, which can be fitted as required.

Key user dimensions and limits make suitability clear: the chair supports a maximum user weight of 114 kg, has a seat height of 490 mm and a seat width of 450 mm. The Transit model has 330 mm rear wheels and 150 mm front wheels, and the overall unfolded footprint is 680 mm by 990 mm, which helps when deciding if it will fit through doorways or into transport.
