Transit Wheelchairs

Navigating the local shops or heading to a medical appointment shouldn't feel like a workout. Our Transit Wheelchairs are the ultimate companion for your next outing, offering a seamless blend of portability and comfort within our wider Mobility Equipment range. Lightweight, reliable, and ready for adventure.

Choosing the Best Transit Wheelchairs in Australia

When it's time to hit the road, a transit wheelchair (or companion chair) is specifically designed for those who have a dedicated carer or family member to help them get around. Unlike self-propelled models, these chairs feature smaller rear wheels, making them significantly lighter and easier to lift into a car boot.

Lightweight Aluminium Frames

Most of our specialised models are crafted from high-grade aluminium. This ensures the chair is sturdy enough for daily use while remaining light enough for carers to handle without strain. Many models weigh less than 10kg, perfect for the active Australian lifestyle.

Comfort and Safety Features

  • Ergonomic Handbrakes: Located on the handles for immediate carer control and peace of mind.
  • Padded Seating: Breathable fabrics designed for long-duration comfort during outings.
  • Swing-Away Footrests: Makes entering and exiting the chair much safer for the user.
  • Compact Folding: Collapsible backrests and frames for easy storage in small spaces.

Narrow Designs for Indoor Use

Our transit chairs are often narrower than standard wheelchairs, allowing you to navigate tight hallways, cafe aisles, and doorways with ease. This makes them a favourite for those living in retirement villages or modern apartments.
