The U31 is a foldable manual wheelchair with a carbon steel frame. It works three ways: as a self-propelled wheelchair, as a transport chair pushed by a caregiver, and as a rollator-style walking aid. It weighs 38.6 lbs and supports up to 300 lbs.
It has flip-up padded armrests and swing-away footrests for side transfers. Braking is dual: companion handle brakes for the caregiver and manual handbrakes (wheel locks) for the user. The seat and backrest are breathable, with a 1.6-inch padded seat cushion. A storage pocket sits on the back of the backrest.
The chair has 8-inch front swivel casters that turn 360 degrees and 24-inch rear wheels with hand rims. All tires are solid, puncture-proof PVC. To unfold, press down on the sides of the seat until the frame locks. To fold, pull up on the center of the seat sling while bringing both armrests inward. Engage the wheel locks whenever getting in, getting out or transferring.
