Lightweight Wheelchairs
Weighing less than 36 lbs. without footrests, and some as low as 13.5 lbs, these lightweight manual wheelchairs are great for transport and make it easy to load and unload from your car.
We offer FREE swing-away detachable footrests with every wheelchair!
More customized fit options
Another main advantage of lightweight wheelchairs is they offer more options compared to the standard manual wheelchairs, providing a more customized fit to the individual user. These features may include wheelchairs that offer multiple seat sizes, arm styles, frame colors and wheel options, depending on the model.
Foldable and easy to transport
All of the lightweight wheelchairs we sell fold for storage and transportation and include removable and/or flip back armrests for side transfers. In addition, lightweight wheelchairs are perfect for individuals with partial mobility limitations, as they provide greater independence. For instance, users can easily lift and load the chair into their car without assistance.
Manual and rider-propelled
Lightweight manual wheelchairs can either be pushed by someone from behind or self-propelled by the person in the wheelchair by means of hand rims attached to the two larger rear wheels. Because they're lighter, they are easier to propel. Manual wheelchairs also have the benefit of being a source of exercise for whoever is "behind the wheel." If you plan to travel long distances or up hills, you might want to consider and electric-powered wheelchair instead.
Don't forget to take advantage of our low price match guarantee, and as will everything else we sell, you get free shipping!
