What is an aluminium wheelchair?

An aluminium wheelchair is a lightweight mobility chair made with an aluminium frame instead of the heavier steel. These chairs are not only stronger and more resistant to rust, but also much, much lighter. That makes them a breeze to lift, push, fold and transport.

That's exactly what users want: a chair that makes their day-to-day easier.  Whether that means folding it up for car journeys, lifting it into a boot or navigating tight indoor spaces.  You can get aluminium wheelchairs in both transit versions (pushed by a carer) and self-propelled models (where the user controls it using larger rear wheels).

Aluminium isn't as heavy-duty as steel, but it's more than strong enough for most people's everyday needs, especially if you're within standard weight limits.  Many models come with added reinforcements to give you a safe and stable ride.

Types of Aluminium Wheelchairs

Aluminium wheelchairs come in a few different styles. Here are the main types:

Transit Aluminium Wheelchairs

  • Smaller back wheels, designed to be pushed by someone else.
  • Used for short trips, hospital visits, and full assistance users.
  • Lightweight and compact, great for travel or storage.

Self Propelled Aluminium Wheelchairs

  • The user can move independently with larger rear wheels (typically 24") and mounted push rims.
  • More freedom and control, easier to lift than steel models.
  • Best for everyday use at home or out and about.

Folding Aluminium Wheelchairs

  • Most aluminium wheelchairs fold, some fold down extra small for car boots or travel.
  • Look out for quick-release wheels and flip-up footrests for extra convenience.

Lightweight & Ultra Lightweight Aluminium Wheelchairs

  • Some ultra-light aluminium chairs weigh under 10kg and are built for maximum portability.
  • Great if you need something super light to carry or lift regularly.
  • Older users, carers or anyone needing a travel-friendly option.

Points to consider in an aluminium wheelchair

First and foremost, you need to consider the user's weight. Aluminium is strong and rust resistant, but is best suited for users within the safe working load of each model. As a general rule of thumb, choose a wheelchair that can carry at least 15-20% more than the user's weight. This built-in safety margin helps preserve the frame over time.

You should also think about seat width, backrest design (like half folding back), foot and arm support and how easy the chair folds. Many of our aluminium wheelchairs come with quick-release wheels, height-adjustable parts and cushioned seating for added comfort.

More about Aluminium Wheelchairs

One of the biggest advantages of using an aluminium wheelchair is its weight. Compared to traditional steel wheelchairs, aluminium wheelchairs are much lighter, making them easier to push and manoeuvre. This makes them an ideal choice for individuals who may struggle with the weight of a steel wheelchair, such as those with limited upper body strength.

Another advantage of aluminium wheelchairs is their durability. The high-quality construction of these wheelchairs ensures that they can withstand daily use and the rigours of travel. This makes them a great option for individuals who require a wheelchair for daily use, as well as those who need a wheelchair for occasional trips and outings.

In addition to their durability and lightweight aluminium wheelchairs are also known for their sleek and modern design. These wheelchairs are available in a variety of colours and styles, allowing individuals to choose a wheelchair that fits their style and taste.
