An upgraded version of the Action 3NG, the Light offers further weight savings, meaning your wheelchair weighs from just 13 kg. This is aided by premium lightweight wheels, with stylish black spokes, hub and tyres, and a new innovative castor housing that further reduces weight thanks to its sleek, aluminium design.
As with the standard Action 3NG, each wheelchair is individually prescribed following an assessment. This allows it to be perfectly sized for you, and also to be customised from a vast range of options to suit your lifestyle in a way that "out of the box" wheelchairs just cannot manage.
The options are far too vast to list them all, but include the following:
Sizing - seat width, depth and height for a perfect fit.
Cushions - from a basic foam cushion to a range of Invacare and third-party cushions for high levels of comfort and pressure-relief.
Backrest - choice of upholsteries, including tension-adjustable backrests for higher levels of support, reclining backrests, folding ones, and height adjustable push handles.
Legrests - standard swing-away legrests at a choice of angles, elevating legrests, one-piece footplates, and amputee supports.
Armrests - swing away ones, T-style removable armrests, and a choice of standard or short "desk" armpads.
Positioning accessories - headrests, lateral supports and Bodypoint belts.
Wheels - puncture resistant or solid tyres, plastic-coated handrims, different sized castor wheels.
Frame colours - 8 to choose from as standard, but any available at an upcharge, resulting in a wheelchair personalised to your style.
Functional options - anti-tips, step tubes, tray tables cane holders.
Our Verdict
The Invacare Action 3NG Light Wheelchair is the ultimate made-to-order ultra-light wheelchair; while slightly more expensive than the standard Action 3NG, the weight savings justify this cost, as they make propelling, pushing and lifting the wheelchair so much easier.
