The All Terrain wheelchairs have been designed to allow people with restricted mobility to go to the beach and seaside, go into the water to go swimming and also allows travel over rough land surfaces. The chairs were designed by people with restricted mobility for people with restricted mobility and can be used by people of all ages and degrees of mobility. The All Terrain wheelchair (without canopy) can be set up with tires for use on different types of terrain – from concrete to rough land surfaces, allowing users to participate in most outdoor activities. The user can push the chair independently when these wheels are fixed. The All Terrain wheelchair (without canopy) individually weighs approx. just 17kgs and is fully collapsible, making it easily transportable in most vehicles (Dimensions 140x55x55(cm)). The All Terrain Wheelchair with canopy can not be disassembled, only wheeled out of the Visitor Centre for daily local use. Note: The maximum weight limit for the chair is 130kg.

Cancellation Policy

We understand plans can change, so here are our conditions and policies

The All Terrain wheelchair is an expensive piece of equipment which adds great value to our community so we ask that all users treat it with care so that others can continue to enjoy it. It is essential to rinse the chair thoroughly after every use. Please use fresh water to ensure that all salt deposits and sand have been removed. Please remove the push bar and the wheel axles when rinsing. Failure to do so can cause damage to the structure of the chair and cause premature deterioration.

SAFE USE IN THE WATER
Although the All Terrain wheelchair can be used in the water it is not intended to be used as a floatation device. It allows entry into the water but will not keep a person afloat whilst sitting in the chair . An attendant is required for entering the water and swimming. The attendant must be a capable adult who is able to negotiate the incoming tide currents or breaks. It is recommended that the user leans forward when entering the water as the buoyancy of the front wheel can force the user and the chair backwards. Please stick to shallow water and do not attempt to ride the waves
