Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Ultra Lightweight Aluminium Transit Wheelchair suit you?
This one is chosen as much for the person doing the lifting as for the passenger. The aluminium frame is very light to move about, it folds, and the backrest folds down too. The passenger gets soft-touch side panels, a rear pocket and desk-style armrests for sitting up to a café table. Seats come in 17 or 20 inch widths.
Two seat widths are offered, so try each of them at a showroom while your companion tests the brakes, the fold and the lift. Tell us when you plan to visit and we will have the right size ready.

The Ultra Lightweight Aluminium Transit Wheelchair in detail
Built light for the person who does the lifting. If a wheelchair goes in and out of the car several times a week, the frame material makes a real difference, and this Drive transit chair uses aluminium with a single cross brace to keep things manageable.
What you get
- A strong, stable aluminium frame that is very light to carry
- Desk-style armrests, so the passenger can sit close to a table
- Two-tone grey upholstery that is easy to clean, set off by a silver frame
- Side panels in soft-touch fabric
- A useful storage pocket on the rear of the backrest
- Solid 20cm (8 inch) front tyres that need little attention
- Long-reach brakes for secure parking
- A pair of stepper tubes to help the attendant raise the front wheels at a kerb
Seat and footrests
Pick a 17 inch or 20 inch seat. The footrests have five settings, swing aside for getting in and out, and release quickly for storage.
Folding and transport
The frame folds and the backrest drops to half height, leaving a compact shape for the boot.
