Equipment Hire

All Terrain/ Beach Wheelchairs

We have two all-terrain chairs – one Landeez and one Hippocampe, both of which are suitable for use on the beach, rocky shores and in the countryside. The Landeez is suitable for adults and children and the Hippocampe is suitable for children (2yrs +) and young adults or adults of smaller stature.

These wheelchairs are designed to be pushed by an attendant/ carer. The wheelchair user should not be left unattended. 

The Landeez chair has large pneumatic tyres, padded upholstery, leg support length adjustment, foot rest angle adjustment, foot pillow, wheel lock (NB - the wheel lock is NOT a brake), adjustable armrests and seat belt. The chair is easy to dismantle and reassemble - no tools are required. The Landeez can be taken into shallow water (up to 6ins/ 15cms deep). The Hippocampe can be taken in the sea and will float. 

A detachable harness, detachable head and neck support are also available on request. There is a maximum user weight limit of 23 stone/ 146 kilos.                                                                                                                     

The Hippocampe is a purpose built lightweight medium size manual wheelchair, suitable for adults and children (from 2 years old). The chair can be taken into the water as it will float. The chair has a fold-down seat back, removable push bar and detachable wheels, is easy to steer, can be assembled quickly, weighs 17kg (without accessories). The user weight limit is 20 stone/ 120 kilos. It has padded upholstery, leg support, brake adjustable height back rest, adjustable armrests which lift up for ease of transfer from side. Infil panels, a headrest and a harness can give extra support and security. An additional Supracor cushion gives improved pelvic stability and pressure relief. Balloon wheels can be fitted for use on soft sand.
