Transit Wheelchairs

Q: Who should use a transit wheelchair?

Transit wheelchairs are ideal for individuals who are unable to move themselves in a wheelchair and need support from a carer or family member. They are commonly used by elderly people, those recovering from surgery or illness, or individuals with limited upper body strength or coordination. Their compact size and ease of use make them suitable for both home and public environments.

Q: Can transit wheelchairs be used outdoors?

Yes, most transit wheelchairs are suitable for outdoor use, particularly on smooth pavements, in shops, and during short outings. Many models are fitted with solid tyres that can handle uneven ground, but they are not designed for rough terrain or long-distance travel. For daily outdoor use, choose a model with a sturdy frame, comfortable seat, and effective brakes for safety.

Q: Are transit wheelchairs easy to fold and lift into a car?

Yes, many transit wheelchairs are designed with portability in mind. They usually have folding frames and detachable footrests, making them compact and easy to lift into a car boot or carry for travel. Their lightweight design is especially helpful for carers who need a reliable, practical option for outings and appointments.

Our range of transit wheelchairs is specially designed for short trips, hospital visits, and everyday outings with a carer. These models feature smaller rear wheels, making them easier for an attendant to push and steer, especially in tight indoor spaces or busy public areas. Many transit wheelchairs are lightweight and foldable, ideal for lifting into car boots or storing at home. They’re a practical mobility aid for those who cannot self-propel but still want to stay active and involved in daily life. With comfort-focused designs, easy braking systems, and durable frames, transit chairs offer a convenient and dignified solution for people with reduced mobility.

What is the difference between a transit wheelchair and an attendant propelled wheelchair?

While both types are pushed by a carer, the term "transit wheelchair" usually refers to models specifically built for short trips and travel, often with a more compact and lightweight design. Attendant propelled wheelchairs is a broader term that includes various styles used with carer support. In many cases, the two terms are used interchangeably, but transit chairs tend to prioritise portability and ease of transport.
