Detailed description

The Orbit Transit Wheelchair is manufactured in the UK and designed to be both durable and easy to handle. Its lightweight 13 kg build helps when lifting the chair into a car or moving it around the home, and the frame folds down to a compact size for storage in a car boot or small space. That combination makes it suitable for everyday use and occasional trips.

Comfort has been considered with a well-padded seat and back pad that can be removed for cleaning. The removable pads help keep the chair fresh and hygienic without specialist tools, and the padding provides steady support while seated. Large puncture-proof wheels help provide a smooth, stable ride across most typical outdoor and indoor surfaces.

Transfers are straightforward thanks to practical features that reduce obstacles when getting on and off. The footrests swing in and out and the armrests flip up and detach, giving carers clear access for safer transfers. Attendant-operated brakes make slowing and securing the chair simple and intuitive.

Built to be robust without excess weight, the Orbit offers a balance between strength and portability. It supports a generous maximum user weight of 115 kg while remaining compact to store. The combination of durability and portability makes it a reliable option for those who need a transit chair that travels well.
