Transport wheelchairs — how to choose
A transport wheelchair is chosen when it is known that the user will not be able to grip the wheel hand rims. Such a wheelchair is conveniently controlled by an assistant and easily transported in a less adapted environment.
Intended use
These wheelchairs suit situations where movement is entirely provided by an attendant. The small rear wheels make the wheelchair compact and easy to handle, but the user cannot propel it themselves.
What to look for
- Weight and foldability — light travel models are convenient to transport.
- Seat width — chosen by the user’s size.
- Frame material — aluminium models are lighter, steel ones sturdier.
Quality and support
All wheelchairs are CE-marked medical devices.
