Ultra Lightweight Manual Wheelchairs

Ultralightweight manual wheelchairs typically weigh 20 pounds or less, allowing them to be lifted into a car or van with ease. Their reduced size also makes them easier to maneuver indoors. Ultralightweight wheelchairs tend to be “transport chairs,” meaning they have small front and rear wheels and need to be push by a loved one or caregiver rather than self-propelled by the user. Despite their small size, these wheelchairs can often support people who weigh 300 pounds or more.

Who Is an Ultralightweight Manual Wheelchair For?

Ultralightweight wheelchairs typically weigh between 15 and 20 pounds, making them a great choice for people who need to transport their chair in a car or other vehicle. In general, ultralightweight models are also narrower than traditional wheelchairs. Their smaller width allows them to fit through doorways and hallways in older homes, as well as other tight spaces like hotel rooms, office cubicles, and elevators. Overall, ultralightweight manual wheelchairs are ideal for users who:

  1. Need a chair they can easily store and transport
  2. Can walk short distances but need support on longer journeys
  3. Have a caregiver or loved one who can push the chair
