Features & Benefits

Why this one

Adjusts to fit

Seat depth, back height, back angle and seat height all adjust, so the chair can be set up for the person rather than the person adapting to the chair.

Light to handle

The aluminum frame keeps the chair to roughly 34 to 36 lbs, light enough to fold and load without help for most people.

Quick-release wheels

The rear wheels release at the press of a button, cutting the weight you actually lift into a car and making the folded chair smaller.

Universal armrests

Armrests flip back and lift out for side transfers, adjust to eight heights, and convert between desk and full length as needed.

Two seat heights

Two axle positions set the seat at 17.5 or 19.5 inches, suiting shorter users and foot propellers as well as taller adults.

Adjustable back angle

The backrest angle adjusts between 5 and 20 degrees, which few chairs in this class offer and which matters for posture and comfort.

Low maintenance

Sealed bearings front and rear, urethane tires and composite mag wheels mean no tire pressure to check and very little upkeep.

Secure and easy care

Push-to-lock wheel locks hold the chair firmly during transfers, and the padded nylon upholstery wipes clean and resists moisture.

About this product

The Viper Plus GT is a lightweight folding wheelchair built around adjustability. Where most chairs at this price are fixed once they leave the box, the Viper Plus GT lets you change seat depth, back height, back angle and seat height, so one chair can be set up properly for the person using it and adjusted again as their needs change.

The aluminum frame keeps the weight down to roughly 34 to 36 lbs, and the rear wheels come off at the press of a button, so what you actually lift into a car boot is considerably less than the full chair. The frame folds for storage and transport.

How it adjusts

Built-in seat rail extensions and extendable upholstery change the seat depth from 16 to 18 inches. The backrest adjusts for height in one inch increments and for angle between 5 and 20 degrees. Two quick-release axle positions set the seat height at 17.5 inches, suited to shorter users and to anyone who propels with their feet, or 19.5 inches for taller adults. The armrests flip back, remove, adjust for height and convert between desk and full length.

Sizing

This chair has an 18 inch seat width and a 300 lb capacity. Seat width should be measured, not estimated, so if you are unsure come into the showroom and we will fit it properly.
