Steel Frame Wheelchairs

Heavy-Duty Durability You Can Trust

While lightweight alloys have their place, nothing beats the ruggedness of a carbon steel frame. These chairs are built to withstand the rigours of daily Australian life, whether you are navigating local shopping centres or moving around the home. The added weight of steel provides a grounded, secure sensation that many users and carers prefer for safety.
