Lightweight Wheelchairs UK Retailer

Many assisted wheelchair users are faced with frustrating delays and wasted time when transitting from one point to another. Typically arriving at a destination by car and then having to wait while an assistant makes their way to a mobility centre to return sometime later with a wheelchair. It's so much easier to use a lightweight wheelchair to get from the car to the mobility centre, it simply saves so much time and avoids those frustrating delays.

Powertec designed the foldaway transport chair specifically for this type of use. A really lightweight, foldable design that fits neatly and tidily in it's holdall into the boot of your car. Now you can arrive at your chosen destination, your assistant can setup the chair and you can be on your way in minutes.

"The foldaway transport chair is a neat, tidy and unique design that makes life so much easier for many wheelchair users. We're really proud that it's a great product for the lightweight wheelchairs UK market."
John Wallis - Powertec

The design is so simple too, nothing complicated, it's constructed from powder coated steel tubing with durable PVC coated 600 denier Oxford fabric for the back and seat. Secure locks on both rear wheels provide safe parking, and it's suitable for persons up to 110Kg (that's just over 17st).

"Our regular flight with my Aunt was turned into a logistical nightmare while she was ill, we were having to get to the airport hours earlier than before just to arrange transit for her from the car to the departure lounge. The foldaway transport chair was an absolutely perfect solution, it saved us hours of time and she felt better because she didn't get so tired. There was no more messing around, the transport chair came out of the boot and was up in seconds, once we were inside I could fold it up and easily carry it in the holdall."

The foldaway transport chair is really compact, it folds down to just 100cm x 24cm x 26cm which means that it fits in the boot of almost any car. When it's not in use it fits neatly into it's holdall and can easily be carried because it only weighs 9kg.

"I'm so glad we got our lightweight wheelchair! Until then taking Dad to visit Mum in hospital had been a bit of a farce. He could only walk a few yards at a time so we would take our time getting to the hospital reception and then just hope that there was a spare wheelchair there to take him up to the ward. When there wasn't we would have another frustrating wait while we found a chair, visiting time was almost over by the time we got to the ward sometimes! The lightweight chair meant we could get him straight from the car to the ward in record time, less stressful for him too!"
