Transit Wheelchairs
This is a range of attendant propelled manual wheelchairs which typically have smaller 12.5" wheels without push rims for the occupant. Designed for users who lack the strength or cognitive ability to independently propel themselves and rely on a carer or relative to push the wheelchair using the push handles. Ideal for lifting into the car boot, attendant chairs fold easily and are very compact thanks to their smaller rear wheels.
Transit Wheelchairs for Comfortable Assisted Travel
Transit wheelchairs are designed for users who are assisted by a carer, family member or attendant. Compact, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, these wheelchairs are ideal for everyday outings, medical appointments, shopping trips and holidays. With smaller rear wheels than self-propelled models, transit wheelchairs offer excellent portability while providing a comfortable and secure seating experience.
At John Preston, we stock a wide range of transit wheelchairs from trusted mobility manufacturers. Whether you need a lightweight folding wheelchair for occasional use or a more supportive model for regular daily travel, our collection combines comfort, durability and practicality to suit a variety of mobility needs.
Why Choose a Transit Wheelchair?
A transit wheelchair is an excellent choice for users who do not need to self-propel and are supported by an attendant. Their compact design makes them easier to transport and store, while folding frames allow them to fit conveniently into most car boots.
Key benefits include:
- Lightweight construction for easier lifting and transport
- Folding frames for compact storage
- Easy manoeuvrability in indoor and outdoor environments
- Comfortable padded seats and backrests
- Attendant-operated brakes on selected models
- Adjustable footrests and armrests for added comfort
Choosing the Right Transit Wheelchair
When selecting a transit wheelchair, consider how often it will be used and the level of support required. Lightweight aluminium models are ideal for frequent travel, while more robust designs may provide additional comfort and durability for everyday use.
It's also worth comparing features such as seat width, maximum user weight, folded dimensions, wheel size and braking systems to ensure the wheelchair meets your individual requirements.
