The W5 Junior wheelchair by Wolturnus is available in a welded or fully adjustable version.

The welded model has a fully welded backrest and rear axle—an adjustable rear axle, allowing the balance point’s continuous adaption. However, the wheelchair also has a welded rear axle. Then, the wheelchair has no moving parts. Therefore, it is extremely rigid and robust, so all of the child’s energy is harnessed for propulsion.

The adjustable version has a step-less adjustable balance point.

This means you can continually adapt the seating position and wheelchair set-up, for example, by mounting additional equipment as the child grows. Other adaptable features include adjustable depth and a footplate that can be adjusted by depth, angle and height.

Rear-Axle

You can choose between a fixed rear axle and an adjustable rear axle.

Ergonomic Seat

Ergonomic seat with adjustable strap back and strap seat. The ergonomic seat has an adjustable seat and back upholstery. This ensures ergonomic, upright posture, optimum pressure relief and freedom of movement.

Castors

The location of the castors out in front of the footplate ensures high stability and low rolling resistance.

Service & Maintenance

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.

Daily Checks

Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.
Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.
Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.
Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.
Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.

Weekly Checks

Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.
Check the tension of the seat upholstery. It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.

Monthly Checks

Inspect the wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.
Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.

Yearly Checks

Schedule a complete inspection with Recare's qualified technicians to address deeper maintenance needs and ensure optimal performance.

Tyre Pressure Adjustment

The owner or an assistant can perform Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools. Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.
