Featured Wheelchair
Alerta ALT-1100
Zip through South Wales errands with the Alerta ALT-1100—your ultra-compact transit companion that folds to suitcase size in seconds, weighing just 8.5kg for boot-friendly portability. With a 110kg capacity and quick-release rear wheels, it’s the lightweight hero for seamless car transfers and indoor navigations, blending discreet style with unbeatable ease.
Featherlight fold – 8.5kg design collapses to 76x30x80cm for effortless storage.
Swift transfers – Attendant brakes and swing-away footrests for safe, simple loading.
All-Day Comfort – Padded nylon seat and adjustable handles for secure, cosy rides.
Attendant vs Self-Propelled: Who’s in Control?
Self-propelled wheelchairs put the power in your hands with large rear wheels for arm-driven movement, ideal for active users who want to navigate independently —opt for quick-release axles and ergonomic push rims for smooth, fatigue-free control.
Attendant-propelled models, on the other hand, shift the effort to a carer via sturdy handlebars, freeing you for longer outings if strength is limited, with swing-away footplates for easy transfers. Many hybrids offer both for versatility, but always test for braking ease and stability—our in-store demos in Aberdare or Cardiff let you feel the difference and choose what suits your stride best.
What Makes a Good Manual Wheelchair?
A good manual wheelchair is more than a seat—it’s your reliable partner in reclaiming daily adventures, from Swansea market strolls to Yate park benches, offering lightweight agility without sacrificing strength.
Look for models that balance portability (under 15kg for easy lifts) with durability, ensuring smooth rolls over South Wales pavements or indoor floors. Prioritise adjustable features like armrest heights and breathable upholstery for all-day comfort.
What Design Features To Look Out For..
When choosing a manual wheelchair, focus on features that match your lifestyle—lightweight frames (aluminium for under 12kg) for effortless folding and transport, paired with quick-release wheels for quick maintenance. Opt for puncture-proof rear tyres and ergonomic push rims for stable, vibration-free pushes on urban paths, while self-propelled designs with large front castors excel for indoor agility.
Attendant models shine with transit handles and swing-away footplates for shared ease, and always check weight capacity (up to 125kg) with adjustable backs for personalised posture—test in-store to feel the difference.
