Collection: Transit Wheelchairs

Who is a transit wheelchair right for?

Transit wheelchairs, also known as travel or attendant-propelled wheelchairs, are designed to be pushed by an attendant, such as a carer or hospital nurse. Because of this, they do not require the user's upper body strength, which makes them a great alternative to self-propelled wheelchairs, which do.

Transit wheelchairs feature smaller wheels for a low turning radius, a lighter frame for easy pushing, and removable foot/armrests for easy transportation. They also fold up into a compact size in seconds, making them ideal for car boot storage.

At Mobility Solutions Direct, we sell a wide selection of built-to-last, brand-new transit wheelchairs from Drive Devilbiss, all of which have been crash-tested to the highest safety standards and feature varying weight capacities so your needs are met perfectly.

Of course, transit wheelchairs aren’t for everyone. If you’re looking for an independent mobility aid, check out our range of electric wheelchairs. These are completely battery-powered and require no upper body strength from the user.

If you’re working with a tighter budget, check out our self-propelled wheelchairs - these are similar to attendant-propelled wheelchairs as they can be pushed but require upper body strength from the user, where they will self-propel themselves using the larger rear wheels.

What can I expect from an attendant wheelchair?

The wheelchair you go with needs to be right for both the user and the attendant. These are some of the stand-out features you can expect from all the transit wheelchairs we sell:

• Ergonomic design: They are designed with padded seating, back support, and arm/leg rests to ensure your comfort and protection.
• Easy to push: The lightweight aluminium frames, puncture-proof tyres and cable brakes make them suitable for various terrains.
• Manoeuvrability: The same wheels and narrow frame allow for better handling and tight turning in crowded spaces.
• Easy transportation: The lightweight frame and adjustable features, paired with its convenient folding mechanism, allow you to fold it in seconds and collapse into a compact size for any car boot.
• High weight capacity: Whilst they have a lightweight frame, they also support a high user weight capacity, ideal for bariatric users wanting to feel as secure as possible. The weight capacity varies from 18-stone to 31-stone, with the latter being a standout feature of the Drive Sentra Plus-Size Wheelchair.
