What Folding Electric Wheelchair Advantages Make Storage Stress-Free

For many electric wheelchair users, storage is a daily frustration. A bulky, rigid chair takes over your living room, blocks hallways, and makes your home feel crowded. It can be impossible to fit into a small car trunk or a closet. Folding electric wheelchairs solve these problems entirely. At Ningbo Baichen Medical Devices Co., Ltd., we manufacture folding power wheelchairs in aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, and magnesium. Below are four folding advantages that make storage completely stress free.

Ultra-Compact Folded Size

The most apparent benefit of a folding wheelchair is its size when folded. The conventional rigid wheelchairs do not reduce in size when not in use or when parked. Later our power wheelchairs are made of carbon fiber and aluminum, and when folded, they only take up a width of 30-40 cm, approximately the width of a suitcase. This folded size is very compact and can fit behind the front seats of a car, in a corner of a hallway or under a bed. Your living room does not need a special parking place (a wheelchair). The folded chair does not take up additional space as compared to a dining chair and thus, leaves your home open and accessible.

Self-Standing Design for Any Corner

A falling over folded wheelchair is not stress free but a hazard. Our electric wheelchairs are folding and have self standing frames. The chair can be folded with the chair balancing on its own side wheels and frame, leaning against nothing. You can stack it in a closet, behind a door or next to a desk without fearing it will tip over a child or pet. Self standing design also implies that you do not have to support the chair on a wall or furniture. This stability will provide you with the ability to keep the chair in a place that is most convenient rather than the place that it can be leaned.

Locking Latches Prevent Accidental Unfolding

It is more exasperating when you pick a folded wheelchair and it does not unfold fully in your hands or when lifting it. Our folding power wheelchairs have positive locking latches which make a clicking sound whenever fully folded and fully unfolded. The frame will not open accidentally during transport or storage when it is in the folded position. You can pick up the chair, take it upstairs or slide it into a trunk without the sides unzipping. This locking system also prevents the chair to be damaged, an unfolding chair trapped in a car door or shelf of a closet can break parts. Stress free storage implies that you are confident that the chair is going to remain in the same state that you left it.

Integrated Wheels for Rolling, Not Carrying

A relatively lightweight folding wheelchair may also prove to be exhausting to push over a parking lot or even through a train station. Our electric wheelchairs are foldable and the frame has inbuilt transport wheels. When folded the chair slides on these wheels like a luggage. You just lean the folded chair and roll it next to you. This is especially useful to elderly or caregivers with limited lifting capacity but are able to handle a rolling load. The rolling folded chair is easy to travel with; it rolls over the airports, the hotel lobbies and office buildings without any heavy lifting on the part of the user.

Summary

Folding electric wheelchairs are stress-free to store with four major benefits, ultra-compact size when folded, self-standing, locking latches which ensure they do not fall out of position, and inbuilt wheels to be transported by rolling.
