Detailed Overview
The Ultimate Travel Companion
Booking a holiday or staying with family shouldn't be stressful, but for wheelchair users, unpredictable bathroom layouts can ruin a trip. The WheelAble is designed to completely eliminate that anxiety. Because it functions flawlessly as both a self-propelled shower chair and a commode that fits over standard toilets, you no longer have to worry if your hotel's "accessible" bathroom is actually accessible.
Compact and Innovative Folding
The true genius of the WheelAble is its patented folding mechanism. In just a few simple movements, the entire chair collapses down into a highly compact footprint. It packs neatly into its own wheeled travel case, meaning it can be easily rolled through airports, checked in as medical baggage on flights, or popped into the boot of a standard family car.
Dual Purpose: Toilet and Shower
Built from advanced, durable plastics and stainless steel, the WheelAble is completely rust-proof and safe for wet environments. It features a uniquely shaped, cut-away seat that allows it to be reversed perfectly over standard toilets, sparing you the difficulty of awkward side-transfers in tight hotel bathrooms. Once finished, it can be wheeled straight into a wet room or roll-in shower.
Independence on the Go
Unlike many travel commodes that require a caregiver to push them, the WheelAble is equipped with large, 20-inch rear wheels. This allows users with good upper body strength to self-propel independently, preserving privacy and dignity even when away from the adapted comforts of home.
