driveFreetec Lightweight Wheelchairwithout drum brake, 48 cm

The Freetec lightweight wheelchair by drive is a stable and widely adjustable wheelchair for everyday use. It adapts to the body dimensions and seating position of the user, from the armrests and backrest depth through to the seat height. This makes the lightweight wheelchair suitable for self-propelling users as well as for pushing by an attendant. A quick-release axle fitted as standard on the drive wheels makes transport and storage easier.

The Freetec is used at home, in care facilities and in rehabilitation. The infinitely variable adjustment from short to long armrests and the adjustable camber of the front fork allow an individual seating fit. People with a lasting or temporary need for mobility find a wheelchair here that can be adjusted to suit them.

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

The key factor when choosing is the right seat width: it should match the hip width plus a little room for clothing, so the wheelchair neither pinches nor allows too much lateral movement. If the Freetec is mostly pushed, the version with a drum brake gives the attendant extra control on downhill stretches. For self-propelling on level ground, the version without a drum brake is usually sufficient.

You can obtain the Freetec lightweight wheelchair from saneq through the Swiss specialist trade for mobility aids.
