FAQs - Your Questions Answered

Why choose this over a cheap unbranded chair online?
It's supplied and supported by Goldfern NZ with a 12-month NZ warranty, and runs solid puncture-proof tyres. A no-name marketplace chair usually has no NZ warranty or parts once it arrives.

Can I get parts or help in New Zealand?
Yes — supplied and backed by Goldfern NZ.

Is this transit or self-propelled?
Transit. Attendant-operated. Not designed for self-propelling.

Does it have attendant brakes?
No. It has wheel-lock parking brakes on the rear wheels to hold the chair still while someone gets in or out. There are no brakes on the push handles for the person pushing, so it suits flat ground and gentle gradients rather than hills. If you need handle brakes, ring us on 022 022 9956 and we will talk you through the options.

How much does it weigh?
11.65kg.

What is the maximum user weight?
136kg.

Are the wheels puncture-proof?
Yes. Solid front and rear wheels — no inflation needed.

Does it fold for the car?
Yes. Folds compact with folding handles. Fits most car boots.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Best suited to indoor and smooth flat surfaces. Not designed for rough terrain.

What warranty is included?
12 months NZ-based.

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. Measure straight across the widest point of the hips or thighs. Then add 2–4cm. That total is the seat width to order — the extra allows for winter layers without letting them slide about.
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.
