Folding Transit Wheelchair - SKINNY GO!

Wheelchair for Disabled for Tight Spaces: The Perfect Solution for Daily Mobility

The Skinny Go! wheelchair represents one of the best solutions for those who need to move in confined spaces. With an innovative and highly functional design, this wheelchair is designed for those who require effective support but at the same time must navigate environments with narrow passages. Its features make it particularly suitable for home use and for those looking for a compact and maneuverable wheelchair.

Features and Dimensions of the Skinny Go! Wheelchair

The wheelchair is designed to offer a reduced footprint while maintaining a solid structure and high comfort. The seat measurements range from 40 cm to 43 cm, depending on the user's needs, ensuring a wheelchair that perfectly adapts to different body types. The overall dimensions of the total footprint, from wheel to wheel, vary between 51 cm and 54 cm, depending on the chosen seat width.

• Seat 40 cm: total footprint 51 cm
• Seat 43 cm: total footprint 54 cm
• Total footprint when folded: 26 cm

The wheelchair has a total length of 88 cm (including footrests) and is designed to offer maximum practicality. The total weight of the chair is 16.5 kg, making it easy to maneuver and transport. Despite its compact size, the wheelchair has a maximum load capacity of 110 kg, making it suitable for a wide variety of users.

Design and Structure

The frame of the wheelchair is made of painted steel, a material that ensures strength and durability without compromising lightness and maneuverability. The crossbar of the chair (the supporting tubes) is single, to provide additional stability during use. The wheelchair is easily foldable, allowing it to be closed quickly and conveniently, significantly reducing the space needed for storage or transport.

Another significant advantage of this wheelchair is the arrangement of the rear wheels, which never exceed the footprint of the seat. This design drastically reduces the lateral footprint of the wheelchair, a crucial aspect for those who need to move in particularly tight spaces. The wheelchair is therefore ideal for overcoming obstacles such as narrow doors or cramped hallways.

Wheels and Maneuverability

The wheelchair is equipped with a wheel system that ensures maneuverability and comfort, with rear wheels measuring 30 cm in diameter, made of PU without an inner tube, for greater durability and ease of maintenance. The front wheels are made of PU with a plastic fork and have a diameter of 18 cm. This wheel system allows for easy navigation over various surfaces, reducing the risk of damaging the wheelchair or slowing down the user's movements.

The wheelchair is also equipped with parking brakes, which ensure maximum safety when the user is stationary. This system allows the wheelchair to be locked simply and securely, preventing accidental movements.

Home Wheelchair: Practical and Comfortable

Perfect for home use, the Skinny wheelchair is designed to be maneuverable even in the tightest spaces. Its extreme reduction in lateral footprint makes it ideal for domestic environments, where one often has to navigate between rooms, narrow doors, or hallways. Additionally, the user can enter an elevator without having to fold the wheelchair, maintaining their independence.

The seat and backrest are padded with black nylon, a durable and easily washable material, ensuring maximum comfort during use. The wheelchair also features a convenient document pocket on the back, to keep personal items within reach.

Footrests and Armrests: Functionality and Comfort

The short armrests and removable footrests are other features that enhance user comfort. The footrests are adjustable in length and equipped with black plastic footplates with a calf strap for greater stability and safety. It is also possible to purchase separately elevating footrests, both chrome and painted, which are particularly useful for keeping the legs elevated, as in cases of recovery or circulatory issues.
