Standard Manual Wheelchair - 18"
A standard 18 inch manual wheelchair on a lightweight folding aluminum frame, weighing around 34 lbs, with a 300 lb capacity.
Why this one
Light to handle
A lightweight aluminum frame keeps the chair to around 34 lbs, light enough for most caregivers to fold and lift into a car without help.
Dual cross brace
Two cross braces instead of one give a structurally stronger frame and a higher weight capacity than single brace chairs of similar weight.
Adjustable footrests
Footrest length adjusts so the chair can be set to the user's lower leg rather than approximated, which matters for posture and comfort.
Solid tires
Solid tires mean no punctures and no pressure to check, which suits a chair in daily use with as little upkeep as possible.
Wipe-clean upholstery
The vinyl seat and back wipe down easily and resist moisture, which matters for chairs that are shared or transported often.
Push or self-propel
Twenty-four inch rear wheels let the user propel independently, while push handles let a caregiver take over when needed.
Takes seating products
The chair accepts off the shelf and custom cushions and backs, so pressure relief or positioning can be added as needs change.
Warranty and service
Ask us about the warranty on current stock, as terms vary by supplier. Servicing and repairs are handled in house.
About this product
A standard 18 inch manual wheelchair for everyday all day use, on a lightweight folding aluminum frame. It can be propelled by the user or pushed by a caregiver, so it covers both independent and assisted mobility, and it accepts off the shelf and custom seating if a pressure relief or positioning cushion is needed later.
The frame uses a dual cross brace rather than a single one, which makes it structurally stronger and gives a higher weight capacity than single brace chairs of similar weight. At around 34 lbs it folds in the conventional way and is light enough for most caregivers to lift into a vehicle.
About the specifications
We stock this chair from more than one supplier, so the exact model you receive may vary. The dimensions and capacity listed are representative of what we carry, but specifications may differ slightly between suppliers. If a particular measurement matters for your situation, ask us to confirm it against current stock before you order.
Sizing
This is the 18 inch seat width. Seat width should be measured rather than estimated, since a chair that is too wide makes propelling harder and one that is too narrow causes pressure at the hips. Come into the showroom and we will fit it properly.
