LT-980 Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair

The LT-980 is an ultra-lightweight wheelchair that redefines value in the K4 category. Weighing just 24 pounds, with the frame alone at an impressive 13 pounds, this wheelchair offers the lightest weight at the most competitive price. Designed with an 18” seat width, which is the most popular size for manual wheelchairs, the LT-980 is perfect for users seeking a reliable and budget-friendly entry into the ultralightweight category. Its polyurethane non-marking light grey wheels are ideal for indoor use, including on carpets, and the specially designed handgrip makes manual propulsion easy and efficient.

While the LT-980 offers limited adjustability, its practical features make it stand out. The primary adjustable component is the footrest height, though users over six feet tall may find it a tight fit even at maximum extension. The chair is available in three colors—black, silver, and burgundy—allowing some customization to match your personal style. The user-friendly braking mechanism is conveniently located within easy reach for the seated person, allowing for quick and secure wheel locking with a simple lever pull. Additionally, the LT-980 is equipped with handbrakes at the wheels, providing the user with added control and safety.

The LT-980 is designed for light-to-moderate duty, offering a basic level of comfort that meets everyday needs at an unbeatable price. While it may not be as cushioned as higher-end models, the addition of extra cushions for the seat or backrest can enhance comfort without breaking the bank. However, for users who spend more than 4-5 hours a day in the chair, it may become less comfortable over extended periods. Despite this, the LT-980 remains a top choice for those seeking an affordable, ultralightweight wheelchair for shorter daily use.
