The Minimax bariatric heavy duty wheelchair has all the features that make it suitable for bariatric users and has the added benefit of being folding for easy storage and transport.
The folding mechanism is very easy to operate and its design ensures the wheelchair is extremely rigid when unfolded and the seat is fully supported.
The position of both the front and rear wheels provides effortless manoeuvrability; the front wheels are positioned further forward than standard chairs preventing the chair from tipping and the back wheels carry most of the user's weight so the chair is easier to push. The low seat height makes it easy to access the chair and still self-propel it.
In addition, the push handles are designed so that the attendant can easily use their body to turn and push the chair. They are padded and at an angle that puts as little strain as possible on the wrists and shoulders.
Each footrest can carry up to 100kg and they are width adjustable enabling those with fat tissue on their inner thigh to sit comfortably. Very long armrests make it easy for the user to get in to and out of the wheelchair.
