Power wheelchair for standard cabin

[GUT2407]

I use a wheelchair much of the time. I can get by with a rollator or two sticks around my cabin.

 

Previously I had a power wheelchair that could fold to fit through the door of a standard cabin. But can’t find anything like it now.

it folded down the middle and you could still wheel it through the door.

 

My current chair folds folds differently and needs to be lifted sideways to get in, which is too much for Mrs Gut.

Not sure what you are asking.

Not sure if it’s what you’re after, but a quick google search turns this up - https://www.totalmobility.com.au/product/pride-r4/ Can’t find any photos of it folded, but it looks to have the ‘X’ frame so am assuming it folds in half, rather than forward onto itself. 

 

Looks like a few Aussie places sell it.

Thanks I’ll check that one out.

I don't know if it is available in Australia but there is a foldable chair "fold and go" sold in the US. It has two sizes, one up to 250 lbs and the other up to 350 lbs. I think the chair itself is about 35 lbs for the smaller and perhaps a little under 50 for the larger one. The website is https://www.foldandgowheelchairs.com/

That’s similar to my current chair, once folded the width is still the same so needs to be turned sideways and lifted to fit through a standard cabin door. I’m looking for one with the “x” frame that when folded can still be wheeled through a standard cabin doorway.

Here’s my old chair it was great for a standard cabin, folded without removing the batteries, light compact, could run off one battery at a time so use one while one is charging.

 

and if you end up flat can use manually
