Bariatric wheelchairs are wheelchairs which are suitable for larger or heavier users. Wider seating and a higher weight capacity are as-standard on these chairs, and some come with tilt-in-space and recline functions to relieve pressure sores.
We understand that not everyone is the same and people come in all shapes and sizes. There is no “one-size fits all”, so we stock a range of rental manual wheelchairs designed to suit different individuals needs.

These wheelchairs are designed to accommodate a wider seat width and have a heavier carrying capacity, with models offering up to 30” seat width and up to 50st maximum user weight capacity.
