QS5 X Folding Lightweight Active Mix QS5X

The QS5 X Folding Lightweight Active Wheelchair features a remarkably low transport weight - from just 7.3kg, it is the lightest aluminium folding box framed wheelchair on the market.Made to fit each individual Whether choosing a first wheelchair or as an experienced user, the QS5 X provides near limitless adaptability to accommodate the physical development of the person you care for. Backed by the largest selection of interchangeable parts and adjustable components in the QUICKIE range, it allows for ongoing changes, easy parts replacement, and personalisation. Made-to-measure to fit each user's body, plus a large range of colour options, this wheelchair is made especially for them.This wheelchair is available with a choice of two frame versions: a fixed front for those who need additional support and stability; and a swing-away frame with footrests and footplates that can be swung to the sides for easier transfers.Quality with reassurance With decades of research and work in the field, Sunrise Medical have expert knowledge and understanding of these products to get the most out of them, and ensure your loved one has the perfect wheelchair for their needs.One of the technologies Sunrise have taken advantage of is using swaged frame connections: the metal of one part is formed to fit around another to increase stiffness and eliminate the need for other connecting parts or screws. This reduces weight, minimises wear points, and eliminates frame movement.The QS5 X Folding Lightweight Active Wheelchair comes with a five year manufacturer’s warranty on the frame, to provide extra peace of mind.Expert folding technology The QS5 X’s innovative FreeFold™ technology keeps the wheels parallel to the ground when folding – avoiding the rear wheels pivoting inwards which causes them to drag and make folding more difficult. This results in a reduction in the energy needed to fold the wheelchair by over 40%.The Fold-N-Lock technology keeps the chair safely folded and is activated by simply pulling the QS5 X’s seat-sling upwards. It’s so easy, you can even do it with just one hand. To un-fold again, just press the release lever and push down on both sides of the frame until the seat rail smoothly locks into place.Premium construction The QS5 X is made from premium materials and has state of the art technology to deliver a wheelchair that’s high-end quality - but at a more affordable price. This allows more people to access the benefits of a high-quality active wheelchair.This wheelchair is made from 7000 series Aluminium and uses QUICKIE’s innovative ShapeLoc technology to make it lighter, stiffer, and stronger than other wheelchairs in its class.The box-frame design with four-sided tubing minimises flex and bending of the frame, providing increased rigidity. Often, this would add more weight due to the wheelchair but thanks to QUICKIE’s innovative frame processes weight is minimised whilst maintaining that sturdiness.With the frame
