Over Wheelchair Table

Goldfern Over Wheelchair Table

The Goldfern Over Wheelchair Table provides a convenient surface for meals, reading, writing and everyday activities while seated in a wheelchair. Its robust anodised aluminium frame and wheelchair-friendly base are designed to allow close access without unnecessary obstruction around the chair.

The table is height adjustable and rolls on four smooth-running castors for easy repositioning. The Goldfern instructions specify a 10 kg safe working load; the table should not be sat on or used as a support when standing or sitting down.

Why Choose the Goldfern Over Wheelchair Table?

The table is purpose-designed around wheelchair access rather than being a general household table placed in front of a chair. Its open base, adjustable height and castors make it easier to position a useful work or meal surface close to the user while keeping the setup straightforward for everyday home or care use.

Planning the Table Position

The Over Wheelchair Table is easier to use when the base, column and tabletop can reach the required position without interfering with the wheelchair frame, footrests or wheels. Check the usable height range, base clearance and the direction from which the table will approach. The user should be able to sit comfortably without leaning, twisting or trapping their legs beneath the top.

Allow room for the chair and table to move independently, and apply any provided brakes before placing drinks or equipment on the surface. Keep loads within the published limit and distribute them evenly. Height or angle adjustments should be made carefully so loose objects cannot slide from the tabletop.
