When it comes to transporting a wheelchair, it is important to think about the size and weight of the chair, and its ability to withstand rough terrain. A standard self-propelled wheelchair will typically have large wheels that are easy to move, and a handrail next to the tyres to allow the user to use to propel the wheelchair forward. However, if you want to explore more challenging terrain, we have a range of off-road wheelchairs that are designed to cope with sandy and rocky surfaces.
Another thing to consider when selecting the right wheelchair is the seat height. Some wheelchairs are fixed in their seat heights, whereas others have adjustable footplates as well as seats to accommodate users with different heights.
