Karma TV 30 Manual Transit Wheelchair with Hand Brakes & Foldable Frame

Karma TV 30 Manual Transit Wheelchair for Attendant-Assisted Mobility

The Karma TV 30 Manual Transit Wheelchair is designed to support short-distance mobility for individuals who require caregiver or attendant assistance. Featuring a compact wheel configuration, foldable frame and caregiver-controlled rear hand brakes, this manual transit wheelchair provides a practical mobility solution for hospitals, clinics, homes and suitable indoor environments.

Unlike a traditional self-propelled wheelchair with large rear wheels, the Karma TV 30 wheelchair uses smaller front and rear transit wheels. Its design places primary movement control with the caregiver, making it suitable for users who require assistance with routine transportation and mobility.

The wheelchair features a lightweight folding frame that helps reduce storage requirements and supports convenient transportation. Furthermore, its compact structure allows attendants to manoeuvre the chair through accessible corridors, lifts and indoor spaces where a larger wheelchair may be less convenient.

For additional handling control, the wheelchair includes rear caregiver hand brakes. The cushioned armrests provide supportive resting surfaces, while the footrests help maintain appropriate foot positioning during seated movement.

With a supplied maximum user weight capacity of up to 100 kg, the foldable transit wheelchair is a practical option for selected home-care, healthcare and short-distance travel requirements.
