The Easy and Convenient Choice

Manual wheelchairs are the best way to perform ADLs and enjoy an everyday life if you have a mobility impairment. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, or have a permanent handicap and need something more affordable than power wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs can get the job done. 

However, if you have a more advanced condition or don’t have the strength or ability to use a manual wheelchair, we also offer the best powered and specialty wheelchairs available. No matter your wheelchair needs, Wheelchair & Walker Rentals Inc. has you covered.

  • Take up little space
  • Don’t need to be charged
