driveTransport Wheelchair D-Lite12.5", 45 cm

The D-Lite transport wheelchair from drive is a folding wheelchair with a lightweight aluminium frame, built for transfers and attendant-pushed journeys in everyday life. Depending on the version it weighs from around 13 kg, so it lifts into a car without much effort; the backrest folds down for storage. The leg rests swing away and detach, and the armrests adjust in height. The transport wheelchair is approved for users up to 125 kg.

The D-Lite is used wherever an attendant does the pushing: on the way to medical appointments, in care homes, on day trips or as a travel chair. It also suits relatives who occasionally need a transit wheelchair at home.

• Lightweight aluminium frame, folds down to 28 cm wide
• Fold-down backrest for compact storage in the boot
• Swing-away, removable leg rests make transfers easier
• Height-adjustable armrests for an ergonomic seating position
• Attendant brake included
• Maximum user weight of 125 kg

Wheel size and seat width decide the configuration. Small 12.5 inch wheels keep the transport wheelchair compact and easy to manoeuvre, while 24 inch wheels roll more smoothly over thresholds and uneven paths. For seat width, allow roughly a flat hand of space on each side between the hips and the side panels.
