Lightweight wheelchairs are one of the most common types of wheelchairs in Singapore. Caregivers love them as they are easy to transport, push the user and fold away when not in use. We offer the best range of lightweight wheelchairs in Singapore - from affordable, simple models, to travel wheelchairs built for portability, as well as top-of-the-line innovative brands such as Karma and Rollz. A typical wheelchair you see in most hospitals is usually designed for durability and sturdiness and can weight up to 20 kg. Our pushchairs and wheelchairs, in contrast, are incredibly lightweight as they are made from aluminium, weighing anywhere from 7 kg to 14 kg, depending on the type of features you are looking for. They are also lightweight and compact enough for smaller-sized caregivers to be able to load up in a car.
Our most popular lightweight wheelchairs are our travel chairs, which are used not just for travel trips with the family, but also light usage, to bring our loved ones for meals, day outings or doctor visits. These compact wheelchairs can be quickly folded away and fits into the car or taxi boot, not taking up too much space. When opened, they have a regular seat width, keeping your elderly loved ones safe and comfortable.
We also have pushchairs and wheelchairs with detachable arms and footrests for ease of transfers, especially if our loved ones are not as mobile and may require more assistance. Take a look at some of our lightweight wheelchair and pushchair options below:
The difference between wheelchairs and pushchairs is in the size of the rear wheels. Wheelchairs have larger rear wheels for the user to manoeuvre around on their own without the need for assistance. Pushchairs, on the other hand, have smaller rear wheels which will require caregiver assistance to push the user from behind.
Most people refer to pushchairs as wheelchairs, so it is not uncommon for the two terms to be used interchangeably. Based on our experience, about 95% of people end up purchasing pushchairs as most elderly users prefer not to wheel themselves about. There are occasions when wheelchairs are selected, often when the user has good upper body strength and wishes to wheel themselves around independently around the house.
Our wheelchairs with large rear wheels come in different designs, ranging from simple fixed armrest models, to our bestselling detachable models. The detachable design makes it a much easier for the caregiver to transfer the user from one surface to another.
We also carry specialised wheelchairs for users who require specific features, such as reclining, tilt-in-space, and heavy-duty wheelchairs. Due to the increase in overall features, these wheelchairs tend to be bulkier and heavier, and are often recommended by physiotherapists.
