Manual Wheelchair Options
Manual Wheelchair Options
Transit Wheelchairs
Transit wheelchairs are lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, and designed to be pushed by a carer or attendant — making them perfect for users who need assistance with mobility. With smaller rear wheels and a compact frame, they’re ideal for short trips, hospital visits, or getting around at home. Many models fold easily and include features like cable brakes and flip-up armrests for added safety and convenience during transport.
Self-Propelled Wheelchairs
Self-propelled wheelchairs are built for independent use, featuring large rear wheels with hand rims that allow users to move without assistance. They’re ideal for those with good upper body strength who want more control over their mobility. Lightweight frames and quick-release wheels make these chairs practical for everyday use and transport, while ergonomic designs offer comfort whether indoors or outdoors.
Tilt-in-Space Wheelchairs
Tilt-in-space wheelchairs are designed for users who need advanced postural support or spend long periods seated. These chairs allow the seat and backrest to tilt as one unit, helping to redistribute pressure and reduce the risk of discomfort or pressure sores. Ideal for care settings or individuals with complex needs, they offer adjustable footrests, supportive positioning, and long-term comfort throughout the day.
Bariatric Wheelchairs
Bariatric wheelchairs are heavy-duty models built for strength, stability, and comfort. With reinforced frames and extra-wide seating, they’re ideal for larger users who need reliable support without compromising on manoeuvrability. Despite their robust construction, many models are foldable and include features like swing-away footrests and anti-tip wheels, making them suitable for both everyday use and travel.
