Manual Wheelchair • Folding, steel, w/ bedpan option (Fletton)

Manual steel wheelchair, going free to a good home!
😊🙌🏼

Collection only please, from Fletton - PE2 9DN.
***********

A good sturdy wheelchair with solid steel frame, which can be self-propelled or steered by someone else from behind (with built-in handles).

The chair has the added benefit of a removable seat pad, which can be swapped out to replace with a plastic bedpan (not shown) - thus making it into a mobile commode or 'clinical seat'.

This feature is usually only included with medical-standard wheelchairs, so it's a good find! And could be very useful for anyone who struggles to transfer to the toilet, or for times when that is not an option.

(NB: The bedpan option has never actually been used on this chair.)

Standard 18" seat, with 16" rise at back.
Roomy seat which can accomodate most adults.
Maximum suggested weight: 275lb (19.5 stone) / 125kg.

Padded armrests, stowable footrests, and rear pocket - useful for things like phone / tablet / medication / keys etc.

There is some scuffing to the inside leg frames (as shown in pics); this is due to my partner having used this chair while he had 2 metal frames on his lower legs! 😏

You could say this adds character to the chair though, like scars on a human! - It's got a few tales to tell, but has survived... and is now ready for more adventures.

There are handbrakes fitted, although these don't seem to be working. To be honest, we found we never needed these anyway (unless you're planning to go up and down mountains! 😜)
Someone with a little DIY skill could probably fix them if needed.

If you think this chair could be useful for someone you love, please drop us a line?

We've had it since Summer 2022 when my partner was in a car crash, and it was mostly used around Addenbrookes Hospital for the next 9 months - rarely outside!

We're only passing it on because it felt a little too wide for him, and someone else kindly gave us a narrower one.

Maybe this could be helpful for you?
🙂👍🏼
