A reclining wheelchair from MOVO lets a carer change the user's position without transferring them to a bed or another chair, whether to rest the back, relieve pressure, or adjust the sitting position during rehabilitation. The range runs from a compact home-care chair to a model that reclines the seat and backrest together as one unit.
The home-care MLW956L, at 12 kg net, folds with a telescopic push rod, while the MLW985LAF1 tilts the seat as a single unit under a high reclining backrest for anyone who needs longer-term pressure relief. The MLW907BC and MLW212BCEG add elevating leg or footrests on a chromed steel frame, the MLW609GCJ combines reclining with a commode opening, and the MLW869LABJX has armrests that recline independently.
Nearly all models carry a 100 kg loading capacity, with seat widths between 41 and 46 cm, except the MLW985LAF1, adjustable from 38 to 44 cm. We supply this range to hospitals, rehabilitation centres and families through the quote form on this site.
Two kinds of recline: backrest tilt and full tilt-in-space
The key difference between models is the kind of recline: the MLW956L, MLW212BCEG and MLW869LABJX tilt only the backrest or armrests while the seat stays level, suited to short rest periods and a change of sitting angle. The MLW985LAF1 and MLW609GCJ tilt the seat and backrest together as one unit, known as tilt-in-space, which spreads pressure over a larger body area and suits users who sit for long periods or need repeated pressure relief without a transfer.
Reclining wheelchairs with added functions: legrests and commode seating
The MLW907BC adds angle-adjustable elevating legrests for anyone needing leg elevation after surgery or for oedema, and the MLW212BCEG adds similar footrests above a high reclining back. The MLW609GCJ combines a reclining high back with a U-shaped commode opening, a practical option for bedridden patients who need both toileting assistance and repositioning.
How to choose a reclining wheelchair
Start with the type of recline needed: backrest only, or seat and backrest together (tilt-in-space). Then any added function, such as elevating legrests or a commode opening. Finally, seat width, which runs from 38 to 46 cm, and net weight, from 12 to 12.5 kg for the lighter models. Give us these points in your quote request and we will recommend the right model.
What determines the price of a reclining wheelchair
Price depends on the type of recline (backrest only, or seat and backrest together), added functions such as elevating legrests or a commode opening, seat width, the quantity ordered, the delivery city, and the warranty and service terms you need. Send these details through the quote form on this site and we will reply with a written quotation.
FAQ
What is a reclining wheelchair and who is it for?
A reclining wheelchair lets a carer change the user's position without transferring them to a bed or another chair, through a backrest that tilts or a seat and backrest that tilt together. It suits anyone who needs frequent rest periods, pressure relief, or postural support during long-term care or rehabilitation.
What is the difference between backrest recline and full tilt-in-space?
Backrest-only recline, as in the MLW956L, keeps the seat level and changes the backrest angle for short rest. Full tilt-in-space, as in the MLW985LAF1, tilts the seat and backrest together as one unit, spreading pressure over a larger body area and suiting longer sitting periods or repeated pressure relief.
Is there a reclining wheelchair with elevating legrests?
Yes. The MLW907BC has angle-adjustable elevating legrests suited to leg elevation after surgery or for oedema, and the MLW212BCEG has similar footrests above a high reclining back for anyone sitting for long periods.
Is there a reclining wheelchair that combines recline with a commode opening?
Yes. The MLW609GCJ is a foldable wheelchair with a U-shaped commode opening and a high back that reclines for resting between uses, with a 44 cm seat and a 100 kg loading capacity, suited to bedridden patients.
