Heavy Duty Electric Wheelchairs UK – High Weight Capacity, Off-Road & All-Terrain Options

Built to Do More: Why Choose a Heavy Duty Electric Wheelchair?

Not all power chairs are created equal. If you need stronger support, more powerful motors, or a chair built for rugged terrain, a heavy duty electric wheelchair is the solution.

At GliderMobility.co.uk, we specialise in high weight capacity electric wheelchairs designed for comfort, performance, and reliability — whether you’re navigating the countryside or need a robust mobility aid for everyday use.

What Is a Heavy Duty Electric Wheelchair?

A heavy duty electric wheelchair (also known as a bariatric power chair) is designed to support users weighing over 21 stone (136kg), with reinforced frames, wider seats, and more powerful motors.

These wheelchairs are perfect for:

• Heavier users who need additional support and safety

• Travelling across uneven terrain, grass, gravel or rural areas

• Users who spend extended time seated and need maximum comfort

• People who value independence with high performance mobility
