Reliable, Durable, and Ready to Go
When you need a wheelchair that offers straightforward, dependable performance day in and day out, look no further than the Drive DeVilbiss S1 Steel Transit Wheelchair. This hugely popular model is renowned for its strength and reliability. It combines a robust, durable steel frame with a host of practical, user-friendly features to create a no-nonsense wheelchair that you can truly depend on. It’s the ideal choice for caregivers and users seeking a strong, safe, and easy-to-manage mobility solution for daily outings and transport.
A Foundation of Strength and Durability
The S1 is built to withstand the rigours of frequent use. Its strong, steel frame provides a solid and stable foundation, ensuring a secure ride. The chair has been successfully crash-tested to ISO 7176-19 standards, confirming its suitability for secure transportation in a suitably adapted vehicle. The durable vinyl upholstery is both comfortable and incredibly easy to wipe clean, making it a practical and long-lasting choice.
Designed for Caregiver Convenience
As a transit wheelchair, the S1 is designed to be pushed by an attendant, and it includes several features to make this as easy and safe as possible. The push handles incorporate efficient, cable-operated brakes, allowing the caregiver to control the speed and lock the wheels with ease. For transportation and storage, the frame folds down with a simple mechanism, while the backrest also folds in half to create an even more compact package for the car boot.
Practical Comfort for the User
The S1 ensures a comfortable and practical experience for the user. The full-length, padded armrests provide comfortable support, while the swing-away, removable footrests allow for customisable leg support and, crucially, make getting in and out of the chair much safer and easier. The solid, puncture-proof tyres provide a smooth and reliable ride with the benefit of being completely maintenance-free.
