If you are seeking a versatile wheelchair to use in different environments and to do different activities then this could be the wheelchair for you. Your mobility should never be limited by distance!
	Transportable Multi-Function Wheelchair This brilliant rental tilting, reclining, folding wheelchair allows you to travel like everyone else. Even if you are needing trunk support, positioning settings and pressure relief. Its foldable and lightweight design makes it a simple chair to store and transport. Weighing in at only 25.2kg it is also light enough to be able to lift it in and out of your car.
	Folding Wheelchair With Tilt-In-Space The clever tilting mechanism has been carefully designed to provide the steadiest balance possible and to give you a sense of true security. Its unique weight shifting system allows the centre of gravity to move between the front & rear wheels when tilting. This rental tilting wheelchair has a tilt of up to 35°.
	Reclining Wheelchair Function When reclining a wheelchair sliding can often be a concern for you. With this wheelchair you need not worry! It solves the problem by locating the reclining pivot point of the chair as close to the human hip joint to synchronise the motion of the body and the chair. This reclining wheelchair has a recline of up to 30°.
	Adjustable Supportive Wheelchair This rental wheelchair is equipped with a tension adjustable backrest. By adjusting each back strap, the backrest can be fitted to you. This means you can be comfortable and supported when sitting in this manual wheelchair.

The armrests are also adjustable, detachable and ergonomic. You can adjust the height to suit your shape and size. They can also be removed to allow for easy side transfers if needed.

	Lightweight Foldable Tilt-In-Space & Reclining Wheelchair This reclining and tilting wheelchair for hire is lightweight, foldable and is easy to fit into the boot of a car. Its lateral push handle strengthens the durability of this folding chair and makes it easier to push. The elevating legrests can be swung out of the way, giving you a clear space to get in to and out of the chair.
	Wheelchair Safety At All Times This foldable tilt-in-space & reclining wheelchair is also crash tested. Because of this it means it is suitable to be used for occupied transportation when travelling in a motor vehicle. You can be assured of your safety when using this rental wheelchair. It has a maximum user weight of up to 115kg (18st).
	Independence That Travels With You Owning a Foldable Tilt-In-Space & Reclining Wheelchair means comfort and support no longer need to stay at home. As the chair folds down to fit in most car boots, days out, family visits and holidays become easier to plan rather than something to work around. The tilt-in-space and recline functions travel with you too, so pressure relief and rest are available wherever you are, not just in one room. For many families, that combination of portability and full positioning support is what makes ownership worthwhile rather than relying on hire alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the tilt-in-space and recline functions on this wheelchair?

Tilt-in-space moves the whole seat and backrest backward together as one unit, keeping the hip, knee and ankle angles the same while shifting pressure away from the seat area. Recline instead opens the angle between the seat and backrest, similar to a reclining armchair, which is useful for stretching, transfers or brief rest periods. The Foldable Tilt-In-Space & Reclining Wheelchair combines both, with tilt of up to 35 degrees and recline of up to 30 degrees, so pressure relief and comfort positioning are both available in one chair. Using tilt before recline is generally recommended, since it keeps the hips in place and reduces the risk of sliding down the seat.

Is this wheelchair self-propelled, or does it need to be pushed by a carer?

The Foldable Tilt-In-Space & Reclining Wheelchair is designed to be pushed by a carer rather than self-propelled, with a lateral push handle fitted to make steering easier over longer distances. This style of wheelchair suits users with complex seating or positioning needs, where an attendant manages movement while the user focuses on comfort and support. Transit wheels come fitted as standard, which keeps the chair narrower and easier to manoeuvre through doorways and tight spaces compared with a wheelchair built around large self-propelling wheels.

Who operates the tilt and recline controls, the user or a carer?

Tilt and recline adjustments on this wheelchair are typically carried out by a carer rather than the user, since manually shifting a seated person's weight safely takes more effort than a self-adjustable recliner armchair. This is standard for most manual tilt-in-space wheelchairs, where an attendant repositions the user throughout the day rather than the user controlling it themselves. Anyone who needs to adjust their own position independently throughout the day may want to ask our team about powered tilt or recline alternatives before ordering.

Can tilting or reclining this wheelchair help with pressure relief?

Tilting the whole seat backward is widely used to redistribute pressure away from the hips and lower back by spreading a person's weight across a larger surface area, rather than concentrating it on one point. This is a common reason wheelchair users with reduced mobility or limited ability to reposition themselves are assessed for a tilt-in-space wheelchair rather than a standard model. The Foldable Tilt-In-Space & Reclining Wheelchair offers tilt of up to 35 degrees for this purpose, alongside recline for stretching and short rest periods. An occupational therapist or wheelchair assessment is the best way to confirm the right tilt and repositioning routine for an individual's specific needs.
