AERIS Adjusta Wheelchair with Drum Brakes

The AERIS Adjusta Wheelchair with Drum Brakes is the same lightweight, highly configurable aluminium-framed manual wheelchair as the standard AERIS Adjusta, with the addition of attendant-operated drum brakes for enhanced control and security. It shares the standard model's crash-tested 136kg weight capacity, adjustable seat width options (40cm, 46cm and 49cm), five-position seat depth adjustment from 40cm to 50cm, and adjustable backrest height and angle, allowing the chair to be configured to an individual user's body and postural needs rather than forcing a compromise fit. The addition of drum brakes, operated from the push handles, gives the attendant a reliable, progressive means of controlling the chair's speed and holding it stationary on ramps, slopes and uneven ground — an important safety feature in facilities, transport situations, or homes with inclines where wheel-lock brakes alone may not provide sufficient confidence. The reinforced cross-brace frame folds down for storage and transport, while quick-release rear wheels, swing-away footplates and removable, padded seating componentry keep everyday handling and hygiene straightforward. This configuration suits users who rely more heavily on an attendant for mobility, as well as care environments where staff need dependable braking control when pushing a resident over varied terrain. As with the standard Adjusta, the chair remains light enough for one person to lift and load into a vehicle once folded, making it a practical option for both facility and home use.
