Transporting your Omeo
The Omeo is as compact as many standard wheelchairs, and is one of the lighter power chairs on the market at 76kg. It can be transported in a number of ways - from in the boot of a car via a hoist or ramps, in a WAV of course, or via public transport on buses or trains.
Transport
Via Hoist
While we can't recommend any specific companies, a number of Omeo customers have used Autochair to fit their hoists into their car boots.
Transport
Via Ramps
We can't recommend or give advice on which ramps will work best for you. However there are a number of ramp companies in the UK that offer ramps in different formats and at various price points that can be found online.
Transport
Via WAV
Riding an Omeo into a WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) is very easy and it has tie down points to secure it in position. You can also use additional plastic chocs (commonly used with caravans) to brake the wheels.
Transport
Via Public Transport
The Omeo can travel up the ramps to access buses or trains and fits neatly into the allocated wheelchair spaces. We recommend positioning the Omeo side on to the direction of travel to reduce any chance of movement.
