Goldfern Lightweight Premium Self-Propelled Wheelchair
The Goldfern Lightweight Premium Self-Propelled Wheelchair is the transport-friendly self-propelled option in Goldfern's manual wheelchair range. Its aluminium folding frame weighs approximately 10.1 kg, substantially less than the steel Economy model, while 50.8 cm (20") rear wheels allow the seated user to self-propel where appropriate.
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, folding backrest, removable rear wheels, attendant hand brakes and swing-away footrests, with a maximum user weight of 100 kg.
Where the Lightweight Premium Fits in the Goldfern Range
Choose this model when lifting and vehicle transport matter more than maximum user capacity. Compared with the Economy Self-Propelled, it is around 5.4 kg lighter and adds a folding backrest, removable rear wheels, attendant brakes and tested compliance. Compared with the Euro Premium Self-Propelled, it is lighter but offers fewer seating adjustments and only one seat size.
Designed for Easier Transport
The aluminium frame folds inward, the backrest folds down and the 50.8 cm (20") rear wheels can be removed. Together, those features reduce the bulk of the chair when loading it into a vehicle or storing it between uses.
Self-Propelled with Attendant Control
The 50.8 cm (20") rear wheels allow user propulsion, while attendant hand brakes provide extra control from the push handles. User wheel brakes are also fitted for securing the chair when stationary.
