Lightweight Manual Wheelchairs

The right wheelchair changes everything. It gives your loved one the freedom to move, and gives you the peace of mind that they are safe and comfortable. 

Collection: Manual Wheel

The user operates a manual wheelchair by grabbing the rear wheel hand rims to move the chair, while others can push it from behind. Manual wheelchairs operate without batteries or motors, which makes them lighter, less maintenance-intensive, and more cost-effective than power wheelchairs. These devices serve elderly people who cannot move well, patients who need surgery or fracture recovery, individuals with lifelong physical disabilities, and those who require brief assistance at their residence or during their travels. These devices serve as standard mobility tools in hospitals and rehabilitation centres that patients use every day.
Our inventory includes various manual wheelchairs that meet different user requirements, body dimensions, and medical care needs. Our basic steel wheelchairs, like the Arrex Tommy Mag, are built on a chromed steel frame, weigh around 17.5 kg, and support up to 110 kg. These models include solid mag wheels, breathable canvas seats, and attendant brakes, and they fold down to 30 cm, making them an affordable daily-use choice. Our selection includes two lightweight aluminium wheelchairs, the Arrex Maxima and Arrex Harvey, which feature foldable aluminium frames and mag wheels for users seeking lightweight mobility solutions. Their weight capacity is 16 kg, but they can support users up to 110 kg, making them an attractive choice for people who need to move their wheelchair between their vehicle and home. The Arrex Litt Attendant Wheelchair is an ideal option for wheelchair users who require caregiver assistance, thanks to its padded seat and lightweight construction. The Arrex Jolly Self-Propelled Wheelchair offers users who want to move alone big rear wheels that enable independent mobility, padded seats for comfort, and durable construction.
Some users require more than basic mobility support; they need specialised manual wheelchairs that can transform their lives. The Arrex Almos 41 Reclining Wheelchair features a foldable design with a reclining backrest that helps users who need to rest in a reclined position because they cannot sit upright for extended periods. It is suitable for post-surgical patients, elderly users, and those with conditions like cerebral palsy or spinal issues who benefit from adjustable seating positions. The Arrex Morso Pro Commode Wheelchair is built for users who need both mobility and toileting support in a single chair. The device features a built-in toilet with a detachable PU seat and stands on a steel frame that supports 24-inch solid rear wheels and manual hand brakes for user safety.
Choosing the right wheelchair depends on a few key factors. The user should select a wheelchair with large rear wheels and hand rims to self-propel the chair using models such as the Arrex Jolly and Arrex Harvey. The Arrex Litt wheelchair is an ideal alternative for caregivers, combining lightweight construction with easy manoeuvrability. The chair needs a steel frame that supports at least 110 kg to accommodate people who weigh more and those who sit in the chair throughout their entire workday. People who travel often or need to place their wheelchair inside a car should select an aluminium manual wheelchair which folds and weighs less. The Almos 41 and Morso Pro are purpose-built options for patients who need to recline or toileting assistance.
