Heavy Duty Wheelchair
Beach Wheelchair Guide
Sand changes everything. Here's how to choose fast and keep it running smooth.
Key Features for Sand
- Wide, low-pressure tires (or dedicated beach wheels) distribute weight to avoid sinking.
- Corrosion-resistant hardware (stainless/aluminum) handles salt, spray, and rinse cycles.
- Stability: Extended wheelbase or third-wheel designs track straighter on uneven sand.
- Transport & storage: Folding sections and quick-release components help in small cars and rentals.
Beach conditions vary by slope, sand softness, and tides—always check local access paths and rules.
Simple Pre-Beach Checklist
- Check tire pressure or wheel attachments recommended for sand.
- Bring a quick-rinse kit: fresh water + soft brush for post-use clean-up.
- Plan routes: boardwalk → firm wet sand near the shoreline when safe.
- Avoid salt build-up: rinse frame, hardware, and moving parts after each outing.
- Dry before storage to reduce corrosion over time.
