When transporting a chair, it is crucial to take into consideration the weight, size, and its ability to withstand rough terrain. Standard self-propelled chairs will feature large wheels and handrails in front of the tyres. The occupant can use the handrail to propel the chair forward. If you'd like to explore more difficult terrain, we offer a range of off-road wheelchairs that are designed to withstand sandy and rocky surfaces.
Another thing to consider when selecting a wheelchair is the seat height. Some wheelchairs are fixed in their seat height while others have adjustable footplates as well as seats that can accommodate people of different heights. The best choice for you will depend on your personal preferences and lifestyle, however, we recommend that you ensure that the chair you select is comfortable enough to be used for long periods of time.

The weight of a self-propelled wheelchair is another important consideration because it affects the ease or difficulty it is to push. This is particularly applicable to transit wheelchairs, which must be pushed behind the occupant while they are in place. They will often need additional accessories, such as an armrest cushion or carry bag to support their needs.

When it comes to price it is important to be aware that the more features a wheelchair comes with, the more expensive it will cost.

Find an established wheelchair manufacturer that has an excellent reputation and a warranty that covers all aspects of the product. This will ensure your wheelchair is well-maintained throughout its life.
