The wheelchair and most of its fittings are produced in a special aluminium 
alloy. The backrest and seat covers are made of flame retardant material. The 
wheelchair can alternatively be delivered with solid/pneumatic tyres for the castor 
wheels and driving wheels.

Areas of use

Handicare Emineo is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The chair has 
been developed for users with reduced muscular strength, movement, mobility 
and stability.

Handling of waste

Waste from packaging and parts of the wheelchair, as well as the wheelchair 
itself, can be treated as ordinary waste. The main constituent of the wheelchair is 
aluminium, which is suitable for remelting. The plastic and cardboard packaging 
can be recycled.
