Purchasing Resources for Aisle Wheelchairs

Aisle wheelchairs are designed for use on airplanes to transfer disabled passengers to and from their airline seats before or after a flight. Most commercial airlines provide them free of charge for passengers with disabilities. These assistive devices can typically be pushed by a single airline attendant or lifted by two attendants. Companies that make aisle wheelchairs include R J Mobility, Theradyne, and Columbia Medical.

Key features to look for when considering aisle wheelchairs include maneuverability and whether the chair folds up easily for storage. Casters that swivel help make an aisle wheelchair more maneuverable. A good aisle wheelchair should also be comfortable and safe for the people who might use it. Features such as an adjustable headrest and tall back make an aisle wheelchair more comfortable for people of various body types. Safety belts and locking back wheels make an aisle wheelchair safer.

When considering a purchase of aisle wheelchairs for your airline, you should keep in mind the type of aircraft they will be used in, since aisle width can make a difference in whether one particular model works better than another. You should also consider implementing staff training in the use of aisle wheelchairs after your purchase.
