Lightweight Powerchairs

Lightweight powerchairs fold or dismantle for the car and travel, giving a person powered mobility without needing a modified vehicle or hoist. They suit people who walk short distances at home but need power for shopping, outings and longer days, and those who travel by plane or public transport.

Look at folded size and weight, whether it can be lifted by the user or a family member, battery type and airline approval, range, seat comfort and the terrain it will cover. Lightweight chairs generally offer less postural support and lower kerb climbing than configured chairs, so confirm they suit the person’s needs. Check the safe working load.

Thrive Lifecare stocks lightweight powerchairs at both Tasmanian showrooms and delivers Tasmania-wide, with trials, quotes for NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home, DVA or private purchase, and servicing. Book a trial to test folding and lifting the chair in person.
