Monarch Calibre Folding Wheelchair with Quick Release Wheels
The Monarch Calibre Folding Wheelchair combines premium build quality with practical portability features. This self-propelled wheelchair features a lightweight liquid-coated frame, quick-release rear wheels, and a foldable backrest, making it straightforward to transport and store. Built with durability in mind, the Calibre delivers reliable performance across indoor and outdoor environments.
Lightweight Yet Robust Construction
The Calibre wheelchair features a liquid-coated steel frame that balances strength with reduced weight. At 16.8kg, the chair remains manageable for lifting into vehicle boots while maintaining the structural integrity required for daily use. The liquid coating process provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a smooth, attractive finish that withstands regular wear.
Quick-Release Wheel System
The 24-inch rear wheels incorporate a quick-release mechanism, allowing rapid removal without tools. This feature significantly reduces the folded dimensions for boot storage or when navigating tight spaces. The pneumatic tyres on all four wheels provide cushioned travel across varied surfaces, from smooth indoor floors to textured outdoor pavements. The 8-inch front castors offer responsive steering and good manoeuvrability in confined areas.
Comfort-Focused Design
The padded seat and backrest provide cushioned support during extended periods of use. PU armrests deliver a comfortable resting position for the arms while remaining easy to clean and maintain. The 460mm seat width and depth accommodate a broad range of body sizes up to the 100kg maximum weight capacity.
Practical Folding Features
Beyond the quick-release wheels, the Calibre includes several folding elements for compact storage. The backrest folds forward, and the footrests detach entirely, creating a streamlined package for transport. The overall folding mechanism operates smoothly, requiring minimal effort to collapse the chair for storage in car boots, cupboards, or narrow hallways.
