Wheelchairs are one of the most commonly purchased items in UK care homes, used for transporting residents within the home, for outdoor trips and as a daily mobility aid. Where a self-propel version is available for a transit model, it is listed on the same product page — check product variants before ordering.
Transit vs self-propel
-
Transit wheelchairs — smaller rear wheels; pushed by a carer; lighter and more compact; most commonly used in care homes
-
Self-propel wheelchairs — larger rear wheels with push rims; resident propels themselves; suitable where resident has upper body strength
Choosing the right seat width
-
16 inch — narrow; useful where doorway clearance is limited
-
18 inch — most commonly specified in UK care homes
-
20 inch — wider; check doorway clearance before ordering

Over bed tables provide residents with a stable surface for meals, reading and daily activities, and give care staff a working surface during personal care. Height-adjustable models ensure the correct working height for both the resident and staff member.
Trade2Care stocks over bed tables from Drive Medical and Alerta, in split-leg, castor-base and gas-lift configurations. Tilting top options are available for reading and tablet use.
Choosing the right configuration
-
Split-leg / wheelchair base — wider leg spread allows access from a wheelchair or chair as well as in bed
-
Castor base — easy to move between bed and chair; compact
-
Gas-lift — smooth, tool-free height adjustment; durable for daily use
-
Tilting top — surface can be angled for reading; usually includes a lip to prevent items sliding

Tilt-in-space specialist chairs for care homes — postural support, pressure relief and comfort for residents with complex needs. Multiple tilt angles and seat dimensions.
Read more +
Tilt-in-space chairs allow the seat and back to tilt rearward as one piece, maintaining hip angle while reducing pressure and providing stability for residents who cannot maintain a seated position independently. Widely prescribed by occupational therapists for complex postural needs, neurological conditions and high pressure ulcer risk in sitting.
Key specification points
-
Tilt range — greater range offers more postural management options
-
Manual vs powered tilt — powered allows adjustment without moving the resident manually
-
Seat dimensions — must be assessed against resident measurements
