Intended Use  
 

The RMA 1232 ultra lightweight transit chair was designed to provide a 
lightweight means of assisted mobility for users up to 110kgs (17st). 
The folding backrest and removable footrests make it easily transportable 
when not in use, and the parking brakes allow the attendant to either 
gradually brake when moving down an incline or lock the rear wheels when 
stationary.
