Goldfern Lightweight Premium Transit Wheelchair
The Goldfern Lightweight Premium Transit Wheelchair is the easiest-to-lift attendant-propelled option in Goldfern's current wheelchair range. Its aluminium folding frame weighs approximately 9.45 kg, making it substantially easier to handle for vehicle transport than a traditional steel transit chair.
The chair has been independently tested and approved by SGS to meet AS/NZS 3695.1:2011. It uses an 45.7 × 40.6 cm (18 × 16") seat, 30.5 cm (12") quick-release rear wheels, folding backrest, attendant hand brakes and swing-away footrests, with a maximum user weight of 100 kg.
Where the Lightweight Premium Transit Fits in the Goldfern Range
Choose this model when the chair will mainly be pushed by another person and low transport weight matters. Compared with the Economy Transit, it uses aluminium instead of steel and adds a folding backrest, quick-release rear wheels, dual braking and AS/NZS testing. Compared with the Euro Premium Transit, it is lighter but offers fewer seat-size and armrest adjustments.
Designed for Vehicle Transport
The frame folds, the backrest folds down and the 30.5 cm (12") rear wheels can be removed quickly. Those features reduce bulk and make the chair more manageable when loading it into a vehicle or storing it between outings.
Attendant-Propelled with Dual Braking
The smaller rear wheels make this a transit wheelchair rather than a self-propelled chair. Attendant hand brakes provide control from the push handles, while user wheel brakes help secure the chair when stationary.
