The lightweight transit wheelchair represents exceptional portability engineering, combining robust aluminium construction with practical design elements.
Drive DeVilbiss Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Transit Wheelchair
A transit wheelchair should be a practical tool, not a heavy item for the helper to manage. The Drive DeVilbiss Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Wheelchair is a masterclass in modern design, built for hassle-free transportation. By utilizing a robust but incredibly light aluminium frame, this wheelchair provides the strength needed in a package that is exceptionally easy to lift and handle. It delivers a practical, portable, and comfortable solution for daily outings.
The Benefits of a Featherlight Design
Weighing in from just 11.5kg, this is one of the lightest wheelchairs in its class. This remarkable low weight makes a huge difference in daily life, making it significantly easier to lift into the boot of a car or carry up a step. The frame folds with a simple, fluid motion, and features a half-folding backrest to become even more compact, ensuring it can be stored and transported with minimal effort.
Designed for Helper Stability
This wheelchair is designed to provide complete assurance for the attendant. The push handles incorporate reliable, attendant-operated cable brakes, allowing the helper to control the speed and park the wheelchair securely with ease. This provides an essential layer of safety and control, especially when navigating slopes or busy areas. The solid, puncture-proof tyres offer a smooth and dependable ride with zero maintenance.
Comfort and Safety as Standard
Designed for daily use, the wheelchair is fitted with a comfortable and supportive padded nylon seat and backrest, finished in a stylish two-tone grey. Full-length padded armrests provide excellent comfort, while the swing-away, removable footrests ensure that getting in and out of the chair is safe and easy. To ensure a perfect and comfortable fit, the wheelchair is available in a choice of a standard 17-inch or a wider 20-inch seat width.
