July 10, 2013 Although airlines have gone to great lengths to accommodate the mobility impaired, you still need to use a narrow wheelchair to move around comfortably aboard an aircraft. Recognizing the situation, Evac+Chair International Ltd, via its website, has come out with transit chairs specially designed for use in aircraft.
The company offers two models, the Air+Chair and the Air+ChairPLUS. Both are lightweight and specially designed for use in a narrow aisle so the impaired can move around in comfort. With this air-chair I-150 AC model you get a transit chair with narrow side maneuverability, and it weighs less than 6.5 kg. For added convenience the I-150 AC has castor wheels and foldable transfer boards. The I-250 AC model on the other hand, has foldable transfer boards, and in addition the chair comes with protection for your side arm. There is also an adjustable strap.
Regardless of the model you choose, both are specifically developed so that the impaired will not have a difficult time moving to and fro in an aircraft. The company knows full well that narrow and light transit chairs are necessary since many airlines have confined and narrow spaces. With the air chair you never have to worry about portability or storage as it was made to be maneuverable.
Besides the light weight and portability, these transit chairs also have swivel wheels, safety belts, push handles and foldable backrests and footrests. Furthermore, these transit chairs are durable and versatile enough to be used in trains and ships, and these chairs comply with FAA regulations and are flame resistant.
Apart from offering their high quality I-150 AC and I-250 AC lightweight wheelchair, the site also has some very informative articles about using wheelchairs in aircraft, and touches on topics such as why the size of a wheelchair is important, and what to expect when using the restroom in aircraft. There are also links on the site that explain the construction of narrow transit chairs, and what specs to look at when shopping for an aircraft wheelchair. You will also find an article on the site explaining the benefits of using a light wheelchair.
There is no shortage of aeroplane wheelchair stores online, but most of the products sold are wholly inadequate for extended use in aircraft. With the unique design of their transit chairs, you no longer have to put up with the inconvenience typically associated with airline transit chairs.
