Push Mobility beach access expert review
The Sandcruiser beach wheelchair is a portable and robust beach wheelchair that's been on the Australian market for many years. What really sets it apart for us is the adjustable nature of the chair, it's high safety rating with anti-tip and braking and it's high-grade stainless steel construction. The Sandcruiser is a popular choice for many surf clubs throughout Australia and for families looking for a portable chair.

Whilst the chair isn't designed to float, it does offer an excellent experience on the beach and in shallow waters. To gain the longest life out of the fabric, we recommend a wash down after each use and storing the fabric out of direct sunlight.

Before purchasing this chair we recommend;

• Check that the wheelchair will fit in your vehicle

• Check that the dimensions and weight ratings are suitable

• Check whether your local surf club already offers free rental

• Consult with your therapist and Push Mobility about suitability

• Consider whether this might be a good fit with your NDIS plan

• For personal use - always trial a wheelchair before purchasing

• New design, all stainless steel pivot armrests allow both armrests to be raised for easy patient transfer.

• Sandcruiser® All Terrain Chair/ Beach Wheelchair rides over sand, snow, grass and gravel surfaces absorbing shocks for a smooth ride.

• The anti-tip/brake bar secures the chair in one procedure and is also fitted with a positive lock/release bar for added safety. The brake bar locks both rear wheels and, when engaged, prevents the Sandcruiser® from tipping over backwards whilst making the chair stable for a safe patient transfer.

• Low tyre pressure reduces the risk of penetration of sharp objects and produces a very smooth and comfortable ride.
