Foldable Wheelchair

Key Features and Benefits

• Foldable Design: The wheelchair features a cross-brace folding mechanism, allowing it to collapse into a compact form. This makes it easy to transport in vehicle trunks and convenient for storage in tight spaces when not in use.
• Durable Frame: The frame is typically constructed from powder-coated steel or in some variants, lightweight aluminum, ensuring durability and a stable structure that can withstand regular use.
• Fixed Armrests and Footrests: To maintain simplicity and reduce cost, the armrests and footrests are often fixed and non-detachable. The footrests, however, can usually swing up when the user needs to stand or sit.
• Comfort and Support:
  • Seat and Backrest: Made from durable, breathable materials like nylon or oxford fabric that is easy to clean and provides basic comfort.
  • Solid Tires: Features solid, maintenance-free rubber tires (typically 24-inch rear wheels and 8-inch front casters), eliminating the risk of punctures.
• User and Attendant Brakes: The wheelchair includes loop-style push-to-lock brakes located on the wheels for the user to lock the chair when stationary. It may also have attendant handbrakes for the caregiver to control speed and lock the chair.
