Transit Wheelchairs

A transit wheelchairs are a mobility aid designed for individuals who require assistance from a caregiver to move around. Unlike self-propelled wheelchairs, transit models feature smaller rear wheels and are intended to be pushed by an attendant using handles located at the back. This design makes them particularly useful for navigating tight spaces and for transporting individuals over shorter distances, such as within a care home or during outings. 

These Transit Wheelchairs are often constructed from lightweight materials like aluminium, making them easier to fold and transport in car boots or for storage when not in use. Many models include features such as foldable backrests, removable or swing-away footrests, and padded upholstery to enhance user comfort and convenience for both the occupant and the carer. Safety is also a key consideration, with features like attendant-operated brakes commonly included. Transit wheelchairs offer a practical solution for those who need mobility assistance but do not have the upper body strength or stamina to self-propel.
