Lightweight Folding Powerchair Hire

Our Lightweight Folding Powerchair Hire offers a convenient and comfortable way of getting a powered wheelchair that is easy to transport. It can be quickly folded up for travel, and is designed to fit in the boot of a car.

Product Description

We picked Pride Mobility's popular iGo Plus as our folding powerchair to hire out, as it has long been our most popular model. It folds easily in one smooth motion, reducing it to a compact size - ideal for those with limited storage space, or who want to travel with their powered wheelchair. It can also be wheeled around when folded, much like a trolley.

The iGo Plus weighs just 24 kg with the light Lithium Ion battery removed - this is normally something that an able bodied person can lift, but may be too heavy for an elderly or frail person to be able to lift by themselves.

Ideal for use both inside and out, the iGo Plus has front suspension and rear pneumatic tyres for a much more comfortable ride than usually experienced in folding powerchairs. This is further enhanced by the comfortably padded backrest and seat. A range of 9.6 miles on a single charge covers you for regular daily use, and the battery can be charged either on or off-board.

If you are looking for a transportable powered wheelchair to hire, our Lightweight Folding Powerchair Hire is a great solution. We also offer another model of Transportable Wheelchair Hire, which dismantles instead, the heaviest part weighing just 15 kg - this may be more suitable for those who cannot lift the weight of the iGo Plus, or for those with different seating requirements.

Hire Service

We offer a flexible hire service that is ideal for those who are not sure how long they will need a powered wheelchair for, or who are trying one out before purchasing. The minimum hire period is just two weeks, and payment is then taken on a fortnightly rolling basis until you return your equipment.

While hiring from us, your powerchair is covered by our inclusive repair or replace service: if you experience a problem within our service catchment area of London and the South East of England, our trained technicians will come out to either repair the powerchair on-site, or replace it with another. Our powerchairs are also fully insured within the UK.

Please note our short term hire powerchairs may only be used within Mainland UK.

Try Before You Buy

Buying a powerchair for the first time can be a daunting experience. The range of different types of wheelchair can be bewildering, so the opportunity to try one out before committing to buying offers you peace of mind by ensuring that you have the right equipment for your needs.
