Which wheelchair is best for you?
Let us help you find the perfect wheelchair for your needs
Standard Wheelchair
Standard Weight wheelchairs are the perfect choice when you need to be self-propelled but won't be sitting in the chair all day. Generally weighing between 35 and 44 lbs. Typically feature folding frames and swing-away footrest.
Transport Wheelchair
Transport chairs are light-weight and have a collapsible frame and fold-down back to fit in a car trunk, or behind the seat. These wheelchairs require a companion to push from behind, and are perfect to use on trip to the store, or doctor’s visit.
Lightweight Wheelchair
Light Weight wheelchairs are ideal for more frequent use or when users require special options. Frame weights fall under 35 lbs; stock features include foldable frames, desk or full length armrests and removable swingaway footrests.
Rigid Ultra Light Wheelchair
Ultralight Wheelchairs are designed with an eye towards optimizing performance for the active individual. Performance is dramatically increased in these extremely light chairs, as the rigid frame transfers all of the energy from the push of the wheel into forward motion.
Tilt in Space Wheelchair
Tilt wheelchairs reduce the chance of getting pressure sores by allowing the user to change his position by tilting the wheelchair. Also, these wheelchairs tend to be comfortable. Tilting Wheelchairs prevent serious health issues like pressure sores by allowing the wheelchair user to tilt their seat position to a more comfortable setting.
Reclining Wheelchair
Reclining wheelchairs are specially designed to allow a person to comfortably recline at incremental angles safely and comfortably. Typically used for accommodation of severe hip extension contractures, orthostatic hypotension, and pressure re-distribution for prevention of skin breakdown.
