What is a Folding Frame Active Manual Wheelchair?
An active folding manual wheelchair is a lightweight wheelchair that incorporates a folding mechanism within the frame. Unlike a rigid frame wheelchair, the frame can collapse inward, allowing the chair to become more compact for transport and storage.
Why Choose a Folding Frame?
The main reason why our customers choose an active folding wheelchair is for convenience. The ability to fold the wheelchair quickly makes it easier to transport, whether that is in the boot of a car, on public transport or when travelling further afield.
Traditional folding wheelchairs have often been associated with heavier, less responsive designs.
Designed for Active Living
Active manual wheelchairs are created for people who want to remain independent and engaged in daily life.
Whether you are commuting to work, studying, meeting friends, travelling or simply moving around your home, a folding frame wheelchair is designed to support those activities with confidence.
Most models come with optional extras in a number of colours that makes your chair absolutely bespoke to you. Ask our assessment team for more details.
