Lightweight Aluminium Wheelchair

The Lightweight Aluminium Wheelchair is an affordable, practical choice that doesn’t compromise on comfort or quality. Its sturdy aluminium frame keeps weight low, and the folding design makes it simple to store or pop into a car boot. Available in both self-propelled and attendant-propelled (transit) versions, it adapts to a wide range of needs.

The self-propelled version features large quick-release rear wheels with pneumatic tyres for a smooth ride, plus handrims for independent mobility. The transit version uses smaller, lighter rear wheels and rear-handle cable brakes so an attendant can easily slow or park the chair. Both versions include a breathable nylon seat and backrest, padded full-length armrests, height-adjustable swing-away footrests, and a lap belt for added safety.
