ing Electric Wheelchair Advantages Make Storage Stress-Free

The electric wheelchair has transformed mobility of persons who lack strength or endurance. However, the ease of storing an electric wheelchair is an oft-overlooked advantage that can be gained through the modern designs of electric wheelchairs, particularly in lightweight material and in the capability to fold. No more struggling to fit a bulky chair into a small car trunk or leaving it parked in the middle of your living room. At Ningbo Baichen Medical Devices Co., Ltd., we manufacture aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, and magnesium power wheelchairs designed for realworld living. Below are four reasons why our electric wheelchairs simplify storage.

Lightweight Frames Are Easy to Lift and Move

Weight is the greatest impediment to stress free storage. A standard electric wheelchair using steel is 35-45 kg, which cannot be transported by lots of users or caregivers to a vehicle trunk or to climb up the stairs. Our carbon fiber powered wheelchair is as much as 60 % lighter than steel models (usually less than 18 kg with batteries). It can be raised, brought around and stored by a single individual. Most adults can also handle our power wheelchair (20-25 kg) made of aluminum. Once you have a light chair which is easy to move around, you will in fact put away the chair correctly as opposed to having it on the floor.

Quick-Fold and Quick-Disassembly Designs

Bulky, rigid frames are storage nightmares. They require large, dedicated spaces. Our electric wheelchairs feature either a simple center fold design or a quick disassembly system. The carbon fiber and aluminum power wheelchairs fold in one motion: pull a safety latch, lift the seat, and the frame collapses laterally to under 30-40 cm wide. This folding chair is used to slide behind the front seats of a car, a hall closet or even under the bed. To those that like a stiffer frame (which has superior energy transfer and climbing capability), our magnesium powered wheelchair has quick disassembly, the seat, battery, and wheels can be easily removed without the use of tools in order to reduce the chair to small parts that can be stored in small spaces.

Compact Folded Dimensions Fit Anywhere

An folded wheelchair will only be helpful when it will really fit where you want to keep it. Most of a car trunk or a closet, still, can fit many of these folding chairs. Our carbon fiber powered wheelchair is only 30-40 cm wide and can be folded up to fit between front seats or fit in a hall closet or under a bed. The total folded space is minimal to the extent that it can be left in the car at all times and thus your wheelchair is always available on time when you get to a destination. For apartment dwellers, the folded chair takes up no more floor space than a dining chair. This compactness means you never have to choose between keeping your home accessible and keeping your wheelchair accessible.

Self-Standing and Locking for Safe Storage

The falling of a wheelchair when folded is not only inconvenient, but a safety risk as well. Our electric folding wheelchairs have positive locking latches which make a clicking noise when completely folded and unfolded to make sure that the wheelchair does not accidentally fold when driving or lifting. The folded chair too stands up on its own side frames, no leaning against a wall or making it support on boxes. For the automatic folding mobility scooter (part of our product family), the folded unit includes integrated wheels so you can roll it like luggage through airports or hotel lobbies. Secure locking and self-standing design mean you can store the chair in any corner without worrying about it tipping over or unfolding unexpectedly.

Summary

The stress free storage of electric wheelchairs is achieved by lightweight frame (carbon fiber or aluminum), quick fold or quick disassemble features, small folded size and self standing locking features.
