Lightweight - Under 13KGs

Lightweight Folding transit Wheelchairs

At UK-Wheelchairs we decided it was time that we defined what we consider to be a truly lightweight transit wheelchair and have set the benchmark at 13KGs and under.

All the transit wheelchairs you will find in this section therefore weigh less than 13KGs or 30lbs. This is the TOTAL weight of the wheelchair complete with wheels and foot plates.

Some online stores quote the weight of their wheelchairs as complete but in fact use the weight of the wheelchair without the detachable parts i.e. wheels and footplates.

When storing or transporting a wheelchair it is often dismantled to make it more portable and to reduce the space require for storage.

Most rear wheels are quick release as are the footplates, meaning that dismantling the wheelchair takes literally seconds.

We hope you find this information useful - please call us if you would like more detail or if you have further questions about any of our transit wheelchairs.
