FAQs - Your Questions Answered

Why choose this over a cheap unbranded chair online?
It's tested to AS/NZS 3695.1:2011, rated to 136kg, and supplied and supported by Goldfern NZ with a 12-month NZ warranty. A no-name marketplace chair rarely has NZ testing, warranty or parts.

Is this self-propelled or transit?
Self-propelled. 60cm (24") rear wheels with hand rims. Attendant push handles also fitted.

How much does it weigh?
15.5kg.

What is the maximum user weight?
136kg.

What is the seat size?
45cm wide × 40cm deep.

How compact does it fold?
It folds side to side in the usual way for transport and storage. We are re-measuring the folded size on an actual chair rather than repeat a supplier figure we could not stand behind, so if you need exact dimensions for your boot before you order, ring us on 022 022 9956 and we will measure one for you.

Does it have attendant brakes?
No. It has user-operated wheel-lock parking brakes on the rear wheels, worked from the seat. There are no brakes on the push handles for the person pushing. If a carer needs braking control on slopes, ring us on 022 022 9956 and we will point you to a chair that has them.

Does it have anti-tip wheels?
Yes.

Does it include a seatbelt?
Yes.

Who supplies this wheelchair?
Goldfern NZ.

What warranty is included?
12-month NZ-based warranty.

Will this wheelchair fit? Measure first — it takes two minutes

Seat width is the single most common reason a wheelchair gets sent back. Too narrow and it rubs and hurts; too wide and the user slumps sideways and can’t reach the wheels properly. Grab a tape measure and check these four numbers before you order.

Not to scale — use it to find the four measurements, not to judge proportions.

A
Seat width
Sit the user on a firm chair, knees together, wearing their usual clothes. Measure straight across the widest point of the hips or thighs. That measurement is the seat width to order — there is nothing to add. If it falls between two sizes, take the larger one.
B
Seat depth
Sitting, measure from the back of the bottom to the back of the knee. Take 5cm off. A seat that runs right to the knee presses on the back of the leg and cuts circulation.
C
Floor to seat height
Measure from the heel to the back of the knee with shoes on. The footplates need to sit at that height with thighs level. If the user will push themselves along with their feet, you want a lower seat so both heels reach the floor.
D
Backrest height
For a self-propelled chair, the back should finish just below the shoulder blades so the arms swing freely. For a transit chair pushed by someone else, a higher back gives more support.

Quick check: how wide are the hips, sitting down? (cm)

Still not sure? Ring Kellie on 022 022 9956 or send us the measurements and we’ll tell you honestly which chair to buy — or that none of ours is right. This is a general guide, not a clinical assessment: if the user has pressure areas, a spinal condition or sits asymmetrically, please get an occupational therapist involved.

Very good value and quality, we're really please

Very good value and quality, we're really please with it

Thanks for your review! The Goldfern is the one we point people to when they want a solid folding chair without hospital-grade pricing. If you'll be putting it in a car boot regularly, the footrests swing out to the side and lift straight off, which saves a surprising amount of space. Thanks, Kellie
