Item Details

Auscare MaxLite Bariatric Aluminium Wheelchair

ILC Reference NO 43:21:010
Item sourced from ILC VIC database


Maxlite Bariatric Aluminium Wheelchair

Factors to Consider
Drum brakes may ease pushing downhill for attendants.
Rear axle position is adjustable, allowing alteration in position of weight over the rear wheels and castors, which may affect pushing.
Solid tyres have fewer maintenance issues such as pumping up tyres, or punctures.
Upholstery from the backrest can attach using hook and loop (Velcro) under the seat. This can prevent the cushion sliding between the backrest and seat.


ILC Equipment Library
This item is available for short term hire in the ILC Equipment Library. Contact the library on phone number (03) 9362 6111 for details.
