The Heavy Duty Self-Propelled Wheelchair

Detailed description

Robust chrome-plated steel frame and a double crossbar give the Heavy Duty Self-Propelled Wheelchair a solid foundation for heavier users, while the reinforced double-thickness upholstery adds comfort and durability. The wheelchair supports up to 140 kg (22 stone), making it suitable for those needing extra capacity. It is also crash tested for vehicle transport, which helps provide reassurance when the chair needs to travel in a car.

Moving about is easier thanks to the 600 mm solid rear wheels and 200 mm solid front castors, which roll smoothly over pavements and garden paths and avoid the worry of punctures. The chair includes moulded, detachable armrests to assist with side transfers and swing-away footrests that lift clear when you need to stand or get closer to a table. For stationary stability, there are push-to-lock brakes that hold the chair steady during transfers.

When space or transport is a consideration, the wheelchair folds for storage and weighs around 24 kg, so it is manageable for storing in a car boot or at home. The proportions and seat layout are intended to give comfortable seating and straightforward handling for both the user and their carer.
