What is a bariatric wheelchair?
A bariatric wheelchair is an electric wheelchair that is wide enough for people that need more room. Our Bariatric wheelchairs are strong enough to withstand higher maximum capacities and higher loads. Our Air Hawk wheelchair has a maximum weight capacity of 180kg which means that a person weighing up to 180kg can use this wheelchair. It also means that the bariatric wheelchair is wider than normal and fits a person that needs a wider wheelchair. Our Air Hawk bariatric wheelchair is fitted with a widening kit to ensure your comfort and that you have a wheelchair that fits you perfectly.
What is the weight limit for a standard wheelchair?
The weight limit for a standard electric wheelchair can range from approximately 100kg-130kg. That means if you weigh more than that amount or a little less, the standard wheelchair is unsafe for you to use as it might snap or break, the battery charge will last less, you are unable to carry any bags or groceries with your wheelchair and if you go over a bump it is likely to break. Therefore we recommend purchasing a heavy duty bariatric wheelchair even if you weigh less than the maximum capacity and especially if you will be using it outdoors or have groceries to carry. If you would like a heavy duty wheelchair without the widening kit as the standard width is suitable, we can arrange this free of cost. Just contact us on 02 8740 8963 to find out more.
What size is a bariatric wheelchair?
The good thing about our Air Hawk Bariatric wheelchair is that it fits perfectly between standard doors and is not any wider than our standard wheelchairs. Our standard wheelchairs are heavy duty foldable, light weight and compact meaning that using a heavy duty wheelchair does not mean it will be bulky or heavy and only weighs a NET of 23kg!
Here are the dimensions of our compact heavy duty bariatric wheelchair:
- Max L with footplate: 95 cm
- Max L without footplate: 80 cm
- Max H: 93 cm
- Seat W: 46 cm
- Seat D: 44 cm
- Cushion Height: 5.5 cm
- Seat H cushion to the ground: 46 cm
- Backrest H: 40 cm
- Folded W: 58 cm
- Folded L with footplate folded up: 78 cm
- Folded H: 34 cm
- Extra Width option (by adding Widening kits): 56 cm
- Backrest height from the seat including the backrest rail: 53 cm
- The arm width is 56cm which is an additional 10cm wider than our standard wheelchair
What is a heavy duty wheelchair?
A heavy duty wheelchair is a wheelchair that is strong and durable and can carry high maximum weight capacities like our bariatric wheelchair the Air Hawk which can carry 180kg! Heavy duty wheelchairs do not necessarily mean it is a bariatric wheelchair. Our Air Hawk Bariatric wheelchair at Gilani Engineering is bariatric and heavy duty meaning that it is wide enough and fits people that need a larger width and also fits people that are heavier or require a wheelchair that withstands higher weight capacities. If a bariatric wheelchair is made of poor quality it has a lower maximum weight capacity and may not be strong enough, and can break easily.
What size of wheelchair do I need?
You can determine the size of wheelchair you need by measuring from hip to hip when you are seated.
If your width is less than 50cm then you can use the standard wheelchair.
If your width is more than 50cm then you may be more comfortable in a widened bariatric wheelchair.
However, these are guidelines only and the optimal wheelchair size depends on what you find more comfortable.
