The Freetec is used at home, in care facilities and in rehabilitation.

People with permanent or temporary mobility needs will find a wheelchair here that can be adjusted along with them.

• Seat height adjustable in three positions from 45 to 50 cm
• Footplates adjustable in five positions from 0 to 32 degrees
• Backrest upholstery adjustable in depth and height, armrests reinforced with steel insert
• 24-inch drive wheels with quick-release axle for tool-free wheel changing
• Reinforced front fork with 200 x 50 mm PU castor wheels
• Certified to ISO 7176-19 for transporting persons in vehicles
• Total weight around 16 kg, load capacity up to 125 kg

The right seat width is decisive when making your selection: it should match the hip width plus a little room for clothing, so that the wheelchair neither presses nor allows too much lateral sliding. If the Freetec is mainly pushed, the version with drum brake gives the accompanying person additional control on downhill stretches. For self-propelling users on level terrain, the variant without drum brake is generally sufficient.

You can obtain the Freetec lightweight wheelchair from saneq, the Swiss specialist retailer for mobility aids.
