Drive Budget Steel Transit Wheelchair 45cm Seat 115kg

A Sturdy Steel Wheelchair for Carers to Push

The Drive Budget Steel Transit Wheelchair is a folding steel wheelchair made to be pushed by a family member or carer. It has a 45cm seat, small 12.5" rear wheels, solid puncture-proof tyres and a 115kg weight limit. It's a solid, no-fuss chair for appointments, shopping trips and days out, without the price of a premium model.

Dispatched from our Australian supplier's NSW warehouse, usually within 2-7 business days.

Why a Transit Wheelchair?

A transit wheelchair has small rear wheels instead of the large wheels you push yourself. That makes the chair compact and easy for the person pushing to steer, and it folds to just 27cm wide for the car boot. The trade-off is that the person sitting in it can't propel it on their own, so it suits someone who will always have a helper with them. If you'd like to wheel yourself, the self propelled version of this chair has 24" rear wheels with hand rims. Email us and we'll check stock for you.

Features

• Strong steel frame. A durable entry-level chair with many of the features of dearer steel wheelchairs.
• Solid puncture-proof tyres. No flat tyres to deal with and very little upkeep.
• Folds for the car. A simple folding mechanism makes it easy to store at home or lift into a boot.
• Height adjustable, swing away footrests. The footrests flip up and swing out of the way for getting in and out of the chair, or come off for storage.
• Parking brakes on the rear wheels. They can be reached by the carer or the person sitting in the chair.
• Rear stepper tubes. These help the carer tip the chair back to get up kerbs safely.
• Easy-clean vinyl upholstery. Double embossed vinyl with padded armrests wipes clean.
• Tested to ISO 7176-19. Tested for use as a seat in a motor vehicle.

Is the Budget Steel Transit Wheelchair Right for You?

It usually suits you if:

• a family member or carer will push the chair every time it's used
• the person using it weighs up to 115kg and fits a 45cm wide seat
• you want a durable chair for indoor use and footpaths, at an entry-level price
• you need a chair that folds to fit in the car

Good to know before you order:

• This is the transit model. The person sitting in it can't propel it themselves.
• It's suitable for indoor and outdoor use, but it isn't made for rough or uneven ground.
• At 15kg, it's a steel chair, so it's heavier to lift than an aluminium one. If lifting is a worry, our Drive Ultra Lightweight Portable Wheelchair is a lighter option.
• For advice on seating and posture, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider.
