A sturdy, no-fuss folding wheelchair for every day

If you want a wheelchair that simply works — folds into the car, adjusts to fit you, and copes with daily life without fuss — the Invacare Action 4 NG is a dependable choice. It's a lightweight aluminium folding chair from Invacare's long-running Action family, suited to full-time or occasional use.

There's a wide choice of seat sizes, including wider seats, and a heavy-duty version for larger users. So whether it's for trips out with family, hospital appointments or getting about at home, it can be set up to suit you.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy-duty version up to 160 kg (25 st)
  The standard chair takes up to 125 kg (19.7 st), and the heavy-duty version up to 160 kg, so larger users can have the same practical chair.

• Seat widths up to 600 mm
  From 380 mm to 600 mm wide, so you can sit comfortably without being squeezed between the armrests.

• Folds for the car
  A cross-brace frame folds to around 30 cm wide once the quick-release wheels are off.

• About 8.4 kg to lift
  With the wheels off, the frame weighs roughly 8.4 kg, making it easier for a helper to load into the boot.

• Adjustable seat and backrest tension
  Seat height, depth and backrest tension can be set so you sit upright and well supported, which helps if your back aches by the end of the day.

• Fixed or swing-away legrests
  Swing-away legrests move out of the way, making it safer and easier to stand up or transfer to a bed or chair.

• Crash tested to ISO 7176-19
  Tested for use as a seat in a suitably adapted vehicle.

Who it suits best

• Everyday users who want a reliable folding chair
• Larger users who need a wider seat or a heavy-duty frame
• Families who regularly load a wheelchair into the car

Worth knowing before you buy

The Action 4 NG puts practicality ahead of performance, so it's heavier and less nippy to push than a rigid active wheelchair. If you self-propel all day and want the lightest, most responsive ride, a rigid active chair is worth a look. If you need tilt to manage posture or pressure, a tilt-in-space wheelchair will suit you better.
