Get out and about

Our range of self-propelled wheelchairs contain the standard features that a user would demand in a self-propelled wheelchair: large rear wheels that require little effort to propel, swivel front castors for manoeuvrability, easy to reach hand rims and pneumatic tyres for user comfort. There are also options and features that mean that personal preferences can be catered for.

Attendant wheelchairs are for those who cannot propel themselves. They have small rear wheels and can be folded to save space when they need to be stored or transported. There are different types and styles of chair in our range, each with its own features and benefits to suit individual requirements. The chairs have been designed with the user and attendant in mind with easy reach pushing handles and brakes for the attendant and comfortable armrests and footrests for the user.

Accessories

Accessories are available to fit most models we can supply covers and bags.

SCOOTERS

Micro Scooter, a lightweight and compact scooter ideal for manoeuvring in tight confined spaces and is easily dismantled for transporting in the boot of a car. These scooters are perfectly suited for indoor but will face up to the challenges of outdoor travelling. Though some appear to have two front wheels they should always be considered as three wheelers.

Mini scooters are designed to provide the highest level of flexibility. Used both indoors and out, they offer excellent features such as manoeuvrability, compactness, performance and transportability. Available as 3 wheel and 4 wheel models, the 3 wheel offers better turning circle, and 4 wheel better stability. Assessment of not only you but also your environment is important.

Moving up in size Midi scooters are an excellent choice for a larger scooter which is still easily dismantled, allowing it to be transported in most cars, and suitable for outdoor areas. Giving 20 mile round trips on a battery charge these give ample mileage for most. Size also enables a maximum user weight up to 150kg. (23. stone) and we start to see extra features such as integral lights, indicators and handbrakes come as standard making these superb scooters.

Maxi scooters are class III scooters, suitable for both pavement and highway use with a maximum speed of 8mph and a range of up to 35 miles. They are designed for both robustness and comfort for those longer, more demanding journeys. It goes without saying that all the features you would expect from a product of this calibre are included as standard, full suspension, lights, indicators, handbrake and fully adjustable captain's seat. For style, design, performance, function, comfort and safety this is the scooter for you.

And remember all scooters can be fitted with a host of extras, eg bags, covers, holders, all designed to make your travel more enjoyable

POWERCHAIRS

Powerchairs offers the facilities of scooters for users who require a wheelchair. Today we can offer speeds up to 4mph, user weight of 20 stone, chairs where the batteries are easily removable enabling the chair to fold for transporting and easy storage. Style, comfort and flexibility are characteristics of the powerchair range.

RAMPS

Not every home has easy access for wheelchairs/scooters or powerchairs so we have available a collection of ramps which can solve most applications.

WALKING STICKS

A walking stick must be the correct length for the user to allow the body weight to be transferred through the stick when walking. Our sticks come in a variety of styles and lengths and with different shaped handles so that the user can find the one most suited to them. Tripods and quadrupeds are used in the same way as walking sticks but they offer more stability due to their wider base. They are recommended for users who require additional assistance with balance.

CRUTCHES

When selecting crutches it is important to select the right type and size as ill-fitting crutches can cause fatigue and frustration. Designed with user comfort in mind, they are adjustable to a comfortable walking height for most users and some have special features to reduce strain on wrists and spread evenly. Our crutches are manufactured from anodised aluminium to be lightweight without compromising strength.

ROLLATORS AND TRI-WHEEL WALKERS

Rollators and Tri-Wheel Walkers are wheeled walking aids are useful for those who find it difficult to use a traditional walking frame. The large wheels encourage a flowing walking pattern and allow the user to maintain correct posture. Available with different features and benefits they are ideal indoors and out, and can be folded away for storage when not in use.
