Drive S1 Steel Transit Wheelchair

Engineered for both indoor and outdoor use, the Drive S1 Steel Transit Wheelchair not only meets the mobility needs of users but also ensures comfort and safety during transit.

Features That Enhance Mobility

The S1 wheelchair is built with a strong steel frame, ensuring maximum stability and durability, which is crucial for users who require reliable support. Its easy fold mechanism allows for quick storage and transportation, making it an ideal choice for individuals who are always on the go. Whether navigating through the halls of a hospital or enjoying a day out in the park, the S1’s design facilitates effortless movement.

For those who prioritise comfort, the wheelchair features vinyl upholstery and padded armrests that provide a soft touch while being easy to clean. This means users can maintain hygiene without sacrificing comfort, a critical factor for long-term use. Additionally, the height-adjustable plastic footrests can be swung away or removed entirely, allowing for seamless transfers to and from the wheelchair.

Safety and Compliance

Safety is paramount in any mobility aid, and the Drive S1 does not disappoint. Both the Transit (CS1142T) and Self-Propel (CS1142SPMAG) versions are crash test compliant, which means they can be used safely as a seat in a motor vehicle, adhering to ISO 7176-19 standards. The wheelchair also comes equipped with attendant or user accessible parking brakes on the rear wheels, ensuring that the chair remains securely in place when needed.

Perfect for Caregivers

Caregivers will appreciate the 32cm (12.5") rear wheels on the transit model, designed for easy manoeuvrability. The 61cm (24") composite mag rear wheels on the self-propelling model are lightweight yet resilient, making it easier for users to navigate various terrains. The wheelchair also features rear stepper tubes, allowing caregivers to safely mount curbs, enhancing the overall experience for both the user and the attendant.
