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.

Sturdy Wheels for Stability on Any Terrain

For attendant or carer-controlled wheelchairs, it's important they are fitted with sturdy wheels that require seamless propulsion and little resistance over uneven flooring. The Invacare NG Wheelchair allows for comfortable control for those pushing the wheelchair in outdoor or tricky terrain. 

Lightweight Frame for Easy Manoeuvrability 

Attendant-propelled wheelchairs require the carer to have a certain level of upper body strength in order to navigate and control the chair efficiently. To aid this, the Ben NG Wheelchair has been manufactured with an extremely lightweight, aluminium frame to ensure the chair is effortlessly manoeuvrable, even for elderly carers.

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.
