Active wheelchair for efficient mobility

A active folding wheelchair is designed for users who move frequently and need propulsion efficiency, reduced weight and more advanced adjustments than a standard wheelchair. The Vermeiren Trigo T is suitable for people who want to maintain their mobility, autonomy and comfort in daily activities.

As an active model, the Trigo T allows for the adjustment of the seating position, backrest, wheels, camber and footrests. These adjustments directly influence the maneuverability, stability, access to the training hoops and the efficiency of each propulsion movement.

The model can be used by people with walking difficulties or without the ability to walk independently, provided that the user can control the chair safely. If push handles are chosen, the wheelchair can also be operated by a relative or caregiver.

Adjustable and removable footrests

The main practical difference between the Trigo T and some active models with a fixed footplate is the presence of adjustable and removable footrests. This feature can be important for users who need easier transfers, better access in tight spaces, or flexibility when transporting.

The footrests can be removed to reduce volume and weight during transport. They can also be folded sideways, which helps with transfers from bed, chair, armchair or car. For users who need precise lower limb positioning, length adjustment of the supports is essential.

This active folding wheelchair allows you to adjust the distance between the seat and the footrest in the range of approximately 240–460 mm. Choosing the right position helps support your thighs, reduce unnecessary pressure and maintain a more stable posture while moving.

Foldable structure for transport and storage

The Vermeiren Trigo T has a foldable structure, making it practical for users who need to transport the chair in the car, store it in smaller spaces, or use it in different contexts throughout the day. Folding the frame and removing the rear wheels can reduce the volume for transport.

To fold, remove the seat cushion, remove the footrests, lift the central part of the seat and bring the frame tubes together. If necessary, the rear wheels can be removed using the Quick-release system. After reassembly, the wheels must be checked for complete fixation.

A active folding wheelchair It can be a good choice for users looking for a balance between the performance of an active model and the advantage of easier transportation. Before purchasing, the folded dimensions and compatibility with the trunk, elevator, hallways and available storage space should be checked.

Adjustments, dimensions and user adaptation

The Trigo T offers a wide range of adjustments, and correct configuration is essential for comfort, safety and efficiency. The seat width can vary between approximately 300 and 500 mm, and the seat depth between approximately 320 and 500 mm, depending on the configuration.

For a active folding wheelchair, choosing the width of the seat is very important. A seat that is too narrow can create lateral pressure and discomfort, and one that is too wide can reduce postural stability and make propulsion difficult.

The seat depth should be chosen so that the thighs are properly supported, without pressure behind the knees. The seat height can be configured depending on the size of the front and rear wheels, the type of cushion, the length of the lower limbs and the need for access to the drive wheels.

The backrest can be configured in several ways, including height-adjustable or fixed, foldable backrest. The choice of backrest influences trunk control, freedom of shoulder movement, and self-propulsion efficiency.

Quick-release wheels, camber and handling

Quick-release rear wheels are a big advantage for active users. They can be quickly removed for transport, storage or handling, and after reassembly they must be carefully checked to ensure they are fully secured to the axle.

The Vermeiren Trigo T allows you to choose the camber angle of the rear wheels: 0°, 2°, 4° or 6°. Camber influences lateral stability, handling and overall width of the seat. A higher camber can increase stability and control, but can make the seat wider. A lower camber keeps the width more compact, useful for doorways, hallways and narrow interior spaces.

Front wheels can range in size from 3” to 6”, and rear wheels can be configured from 18” to 26”. Wheel choice should be based on the user, riding environment and experience level. Smaller wheels can promote agility, while larger wheels can provide more efficient rolling on accessible surfaces.

Comfort, backrest and positioning

The Trigo T can be configured with several options for backrest, side plates, armrests and push handles. Depending on the configuration, the backrest can have adjustable straps to change the tension and support so that the user can achieve a more comfortable position.

The position of the backrest, seat height, seat depth, and wheel position all influence how the user propels themselves. For active users, proper posture can reduce strain on the shoulders and arms and make movement more efficient.

A active folding wheelchair should be chosen together with a suitable cushion, especially if the user spends many hours a day in the chair. Depending on the needs, positioning cushions, anti-decubitus cushions, side supports, belts or other approved accessories may be recommended.

Safety and correct use

The Vermeiren Trigo T is intended for the transport of one person and should not be used for the transport of heavy objects or for uses other than those recommended by the manufacturer. The chair is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, but only on stable, flat and safe surfaces.

The parking brakes should not be used to slow the chair down, but to lock it in place. Both brakes should be applied before transfer and the user should not lean on the footrests during transfer.

Before each use, the brakes, wheels, tires, backrest, seat, armrests, footrests and frame should be checked. If there is play, unusual noises, unstable wheels or brakes that do not work properly, the product should be checked by specialized personnel.

How to choose the right active folding wheelchair

Choosing a active folding wheelchair must be made according to the user's weight, the width of the pelvis, the required seat depth, the optimal sitting height, trunk control, arm strength, the environment of use and the frequency of transport. For the Vermeiren Trigo T, the correct configuration is very important because the maximum permissible weight depends on the seat width and the type of cross.

The first step is to choose the seat width. For small widths, up to 360 mm with a single cross, the maximum user weight indicated is 70 kg. For widths of 380–460 mm with a 1.5 cross and for widths of 480–500 mm with a double cross, the maximum user weight can reach 130 kg.

Then the seat depth, backrest height, seat height, wheel size, camber, brake type and footrests must be chosen. If the user is self-propelled on a daily basis, the position of the rear wheels and access to the training rings are essential. If the chair will also be used with a companion, suitable push handles may be required.

If the user wants an active model with a fixed footboard, the Trigo S can be considered. If they need a rigid active wheelchair, you can consult Sagitta Wheelchair. If a lightweight, but more standard-use-oriented manual model is needed, it may be suitable. Eclipse X4 wheelchair. For robust standard models, you can also consult Jazz S50 wheelchair or Wheelchair 708D.
