Kid-man LightMan TRAVEL Transit Wheelchair, 43 cm Seat Width, 120 kg Capacity

The Kid-man LightMan TRAVEL is a lightweight, foldable transit wheelchair engineered for attendant-operated mobility. With a 43 cm seat width and a robust aluminium frame, this wheelchair provides a reliable solution for individuals weighing up to 120 kg. Its compact design and ease of folding make it an excellent choice for those requiring a portable mobility aid for travel, medical appointments, or daily assistance.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the LightMan TRAVEL is its exceptional portability, achieved through a lightweight aluminium frame that folds down to a width of just 32 cm. This ensures it can be easily stored in vehicle trunks or tight spaces. The inclusion of liftable armrests and removable, height-adjustable footrests significantly simplifies the process of transferring the user in and out of the chair. Furthermore, the dual braking system provides the attendant with reliable control during transport, while the user-operated parking brakes ensure stability when the chair is stationary. The washable nylon upholstery and included seat cushion prioritize user hygiene and comfort during extended periods of use.

Suitable for

• Assisted transport for individuals with limited mobility
• Travel and transportation in personal vehicles
• Hospital visits and clinical environments
• Daily indoor and outdoor mobility support

This wheelchair is designed specifically for attendant-operated use and is not intended for self-propulsion by the user. It may not be suitable for individuals who require a wheelchair for independent movement or for those who need specialized postural support systems not provided by the standard seat configuration.

How to use

To prepare the wheelchair for use, unfold the frame by pressing down on the seat rails until it locks into position. Ensure the footrests are attached and adjusted to the appropriate height for the user. When transferring the user, always engage the parking brakes first and swing the footrests aside to prevent tripping. Once the user is seated, ensure the armrests are locked in the down position. The attendant should use the push handles to maneuver the chair, utilizing the attendant brakes to control speed on inclines and to secure the chair when stopping.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 43 cm seat width is appropriate for the user's body size.
• Ensure the attendant is capable of operating the manual braking system.
• Check the dimensions of your vehicle trunk to confirm the folded chair will fit.
• Confirm that the intended use is for attendant-assisted mobility rather than self-propulsion.

Usage recommendations

Regularly check the tyre pressure of the inflatable rear wheels to maintain a smooth ride. Always ensure the parking brakes are fully engaged before the user attempts to sit down or stand up. Keep the nylon upholstery clean by wiping it down or removing it for machine washing as needed to maintain hygiene.
