Standard Manual Wheelchairs

Standard manual wheelchairs are a great option for people who require a simple, dependable, and inexpensive mobility device. Standard wheelchairs have large rear wheels that can be grabbed by the user and pushed forward to propel themselves, although they can also be pushed by a loved one. This makes them a good choice for people who still have decent mobility and strength in their upper body. Standard manual wheelchairs are also collapsible and very easy to transport or store.

Who is a Standard Manual Wheelchair For?

Standard manual wheelchairs are more robust and durable than smaller transport chairs, while still providing exceptional maneuverability in tight spaces. They also have slightly higher weight capacities. As mentioned above, standard wheelchairs are designed to be self-propelled by the user, meaning they still need to have some arm strength to make full use of the chair. People who would benefit from a standard manual wheelchair include:

  1. Users who need a simple and cost-effective mobility solution
  2. Users who can still walk short distances but need support on longer journeys
  3. Users who still have decent upper body mobility

Finding the Perfect Standard Manual Wheelchair

Finding the ideal standard wheelchair for your specific needs can be difficult, so it’s important to ask yourself some key questions. Does the chair need to support a specific weight capacity? Do you have a preferred manufacturer? What’s your budget? Does the wheelchair need to have leg rests or other accessories? Will you be frequently lifting the wheelchair in and out of a car? We’re using our nearly 30 years of experience to help people with limited mobility find the perfect standard manual wheelchair for their requirements.
