Similar to the D09, this lightweight wheelchair WD is equipped with two removable quick-release sleek batteries that are skilfully placed into the side subframe on either side of the foldable power chair. With a press of a button, these can be removed from the front of either side of the seat. The wheelchair has flip-up armrests and footrests for easy access to and from the mobility device.
The Bariatric Electric Folding Wheelchair easily folds in approximately two seconds and can be placed into the boot of most vehicles. It unfolds by simply lifting the bracket upwards. The seat is positioned to optimise the centre of gravity so that it doesn't put you at risk when going up a large hill due to its safety mechanism; it will automatically stop. The WD cushion is covered in an anti-bacterial breathable material that consists of high-quality Oxford fabric and is completely machine washable.
The Bariatric Electric Folding Wheelchair can be easily folded in a couple of seconds and the batteries are neatly tucked into the framework.
The bariatric wheelchair can also be customised with a customised cushion, carer bracket, phone holder and many more!

1- 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 loads. Our Air Hawk wheelchair has a maximum weight capacity of 180 kg, meaning that a person weighing up to 180kg can use this wheelchair.
It also means that the bariatric wheelchair is wider than average and fits a person that needs a broader wheelchair. Our Air Hawk bariatric wheelchair is equipped with a widening kit to ensure your comfort and that you have a wheelchair that fits you perfectly.
2- What is the weight limit for a standard wheelchair?
The weight limit for a standard electric wheelchair can range from approximately 100kg-130kg; however, this model is designed to carry up to 180 kg and is classified as a Bariatric Wheelchair.
When using a standard wheelchair, if you weigh more, the standard wheelchair is unsafe to use as it might snap or break. The battery charge will last less; you cannot 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 mainly if you use 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!
3- 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 no wider than our standard wheelchairs. Our standard wheelchairs are heavy-duty foldable, lightweight and compact, meaning that using a heavy-duty wheelchair does not mean it will be bulky or heavy and only weighs a NET of 25kg!
Here are the dimensions of our compact heavy, duty bariatric wheelchair:
4- 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 bariatric wheelchairs.
Our Air Hawk Bariatric wheelchair 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 of poor quality, it has a lower maximum weight capacity, may not be strong enough, and can break easily.
5- What size of wheelchair do I need?
You can determine the size of the 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 over 50cm, 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.
The load capacity of a wheelchair/scooter may change according to the type of ground on which the wheelchair/scooter is used.
The supplier’s stated load capacity may have been given for a product tested on flat and smooth ground.
However, the load capacity, performance and stability may change when the product is used on an incline or uneven surfaces.
Any factors must be discussed with the supplier, including the maximum gradient on which a wheelchair/scooter should be safely used. The maximum weight capacity is not the same as impact capacity as the impact may be greater than the weight capacity. Please consult our team at Gilani Engineering
