Why Is Crash Testing Important?

Crash testing is important as it helps to ensure that the wheelchair is suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle during transportation. This chair is sure to keep you safe while travelling, with secure attachments designed with the user's safety and comfort in mind.

Adaptable Armrests and Footrests for Versatility

Featuring removeable armrests and swing away footrests, the Ben Invacare Wheelchair offers complete flexibility for its users. Whether you're on the move or stationary, your chair can be fully adjusted to allow for a comfortable seating experience. If you're using your chair for longer vehicle transfers, swing away the footrests to allow your lower body and legs to extend comfortably.

Large Rear Wheels for Stability on Any Terrain

When it comes to self-propelled wheelchairs, it is essential that they are sturdy and reliable enough to take the user anywhere. With 24" rear wheels that are extremely durable, you can confidently navigate tricky terrain with the assurance your wheelchair won't let you down. 

Lightweight Frame for Easy Manoeuvrability 

Self-propulsion requires significant upper body strength and a lower body mass allowing the user to operate the wheelchair efficiently. To aid this, the Ben NG Wheelchair has been manufactured with an extremely lightweight, aluminium frame to ensure the chair is effortlessly manoeuvrable.

Retractable Backrest for Unrestricted Movement

This model of the Ben NG Manual Wheelchair features folding back posts that retract backwards to lower the height of the backrest. This offers greater flexibility and unrestricted movement of the upper body for individuals who may have suffered an injury or require additional space, providing a more adaptable and comfortable solution to transfers whilst being carer-propelled.

Foldable Design for Easy Storage

Despite its robust construction, the NG 9 Crash-Tested Wheelchair can be easily folded to allow for compact and effortless storage when not in use or during transportation. Once folded, the wheelchair can easily be stored in any cupboard or placed securely in any vehicle during transit.
