Detailed description
The Whirl Self-Propelled Wheelchair combines a narrow frame and compact design, so it moves easily where space is limited. Its sturdy steel frame gives durability for everyday use while keeping the chair slim enough to pass through tighter doorways and busy rooms. Available in a choice of seat widths, the Whirl is adaptable to different users while remaining simple to push and steer.
Comfort focuses on practical features you’ll notice each day. The chair has padded upholstery and calf supports to help steadiness and comfort while sitting. Removable armrests allow closer access to tables and make lateral transfers easier, and the half-folding backrest helps you reach items behind the chair and reduces the overall package for storage.
When travel and handling matter, the Whirl offers useful options. The self-propelled version includes quick-release rear wheels so the chair becomes lighter to lift and more compact for a car boot. It folds to a compact size for transport and has puncture-proof tyres to reduce the chance of breakdowns outdoors. The chair is crash-tested for use in wheelchair-adapted vehicles, and comes with a one year parts warranty and a two year frame warranty for added reassurance. The chair weighs 14.5 kg and supports users up to 115 kg.
