A wheelchair is a wheeled chair that is used when walking is difficult or impossible due to disease, accident, or age-related issues. Wheelchairs can assist you in overcoming a mobility difficulty, whether it is short-term or long-term. Wheelchairs are available in a number of styles and sizes to suit a variety of needs.
Some of most popular wheelchair categories are as follows:
Standard Wheelchairs
These are your basic budget wheelchairs that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use as well as light commercial use. However, standard wheelchairs are heavy, which is a significant consideration when assessing the user's ability to push that weight.
Transport Wheelchairs
Transport wheelchairs are distinguished by their four smaller wheels, are designed for outside use, and are extremely light to carry and set up, weighing as little as 14.5 pounds in certain cases. Transport wheelchairs fold up small enough to fit in a car or a closet. Note that only a partner can push a transport wheelchair; the sitting person cannot self-propel in a transport wheelchair.
Manual Wheelchairs
Manual wheelchairs are distinguished by two huge wheels in the back that allow the user to propel themselves using hand-rims.
Light weight wheelchairs
These wheelchairs, which are made of lightweight materials, are similar to their standard-type cousins. These chairs, on average, have better wheels and bearings, as well as a reduced weight, making them easier to self-propel or push by a companion.
Reclining Back Wheelchairs
As the name implies, reclining wheelchairs allow seated users to recline in their chairs. Wheelchairs that recline almost completely are known as reclining wheelchairs.
Heavy Duty Wheelchairs
These wheelchairs are designed for people who require a broader seat and a higher weight capability. Our heavy-duty wheelchairs can support individuals weighing up to 700 pounds and have seat widths up to 30 inches.
