detachable legrests and flip-up footplates. It weighs 26 lbs, carries up to 300 lbs, seats 18″W × 16″D on a fire-retardant cushion, and is available in Blue, Lime Green and Yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wheel size is what separates transport chairs. Most use 8″ castors all round, which is fine on smooth flooring but jars badly over door thresholds, pavement joints and lift gaps — and every one of those jolts goes through the occupant. The 12″ mag rear wheels here roll over those transitions rather than into them, and the PU tyres take out the remaining vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe legrests swing away and detach entirely, which matters more than it sounds. Fixed footplates force the user to transfer around them; removing the legrests opens up a clear approach to the seat from the front or the side, which makes a bed or armchair transfer safer for both the user and whoever is assisting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractical details are handled properly: a united handle brake for the attendant, flip-up plastic footplates, a fixed armrest with a soft sponge top, a foldable backrest for boot storage, a Velcro pouch for small items, and a double cross-brace for frame rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"features-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12″ Mag Rear Wheels with PU Tyres\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLarger rear wheels roll over door thresholds, pavement joints and lift gaps instead of jarring into them, and PU tyres absorb the remaining vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwing-Away Detachable Legrests\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe legrests swing clear and detach completely, opening a clear approach to the seat for a front or side transfer.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Frame at 26 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLight enough to lift into a car boot, with a double cross-brace for rigidity and a foldable backrest to reduce the folded height.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnited Handle Brake\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAn attendant brake across the handles, plus a new brake lever design, so the person pushing controls the chair without reaching down.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFire-Retardant 18″ Seat Cushion\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAn 18″W × 16″D seat in fire-prevention cloth, with a fixed armrest and soft sponge top.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Colours\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBlue, Lime Green and Yellow — genuinely visible colours rather than the usual hospital grey.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e12″ Wheel or 12″ Lightweight?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOBB makes two 12″ transport chairs and the names are similar, so the differences are worth setting out.
