These lightweight wheelchairs are designed to provide the ultimate in durability, safety, comfort & style.
When choosing a wheelchair it can be confusing. Some people will have been prescribed a specific sort of wheelchair by an Occupational Therapist whilst others might want a wheelchair for when an elderly relative comes to stay.
Somebody using the wheelchair independently will require a self propelling (large wheels) model they push themselves. A self propelled, or transit wheelchair (smaller wheels) will be appropriate if the wheelchair will be pushed by an attendant.
A folding wheelchair is a good choice for occasional use as they can easily be dismantled, folded and transported by car. The rear wheels will usually come off, and the back might fold down to save space. These wheelchairs are ideal for those going out for the day in the car, or perhaps for someone who can’t walk as far as they once could, but maybe don’t need to be in a wheelchair all the time. A dedicated motor can be purchased to turn the manual wheelchair into an attendant controlled power chair making hills much less of a problem.
If you are looking at a wheelchair for occasional use, the lighter it is, the easier it will be to dismantle and put in a car boot. As a very rough guide, folding wheelchairs weigh around 33-44lbs / 15-20Kg, which doesn’t sound too heavy, but remember that somebody will be pushing the wheelchair, and perhaps getting it in and out of the car

Just a word of thanks for the delivery of my lovely chair. I appreciate that it must have been a horrible journey on the icy raods from Kildare to Galway. I will most definitely recommend you to any of my friends in need of disability aids. Thanks Again. Michael Fox - Galway
