Freeway T60 Shower Chair – Strong, Safe and Versatile for Daily Care
The Freeway T60 Shower Chair has been designed to provide dependable support and greater independence for people with limited mobility. Combining strength, comfort and adaptability, it is a highly effective self-propelled shower chair for both home and professional care settings. The T60 allows users and carers to manage bathing and toileting with ease, while its modular construction makes it adaptable to individual requirements. With its durable frame, antibacterial protection and range of configuration options, the Freeway T60 is a long-term investment in safe and dignified care.
Designed for Independence
The Freeway T60 has been carefully engineered for users who want to maintain as much independence as possible in their daily routines. Fitted with 510mm (20") rear wheels, the chair allows users to self-propel smoothly and confidently. These large rear wheels are strong enough to handle the transitions of a bathroom floor, including shower cubicle ramps and small steps, while still being easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces. The top of the wheels sits below the seat height, making this chair especially suitable for users who need to carry out side transfers. This thoughtful design feature means moving in and out of the chair is both safer and more practical, reducing the risk of strain or discomfort.
Excellent Manoeuvrability
Mobility within the bathroom presents specific challenges, from confined layouts to wet and slippery surfaces. The Freeway T60 addresses these issues with its high-performance wheel and castor system. The rear braked wheels are puncture-proof and built to deliver reliable performance over time. Their braked function ensures stability when stationary, while still offering smooth propulsion during use. The anti-tip bars, fitted as standard, add a further layer of security, preventing accidents and helping users and carers feel confident in every situation.
At the front, the chair is fitted with large-diameter plastic and stainless-steel castors. These are specifically designed for bathroom environments, where exposure to water and cleaning products is inevitable. The use of stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, while the plastic components reduce overall weight. Together, they ensure that the chair glides smoothly across uneven surfaces, bathroom thresholds and shower ramps, providing a stable and predictable experience for both user and carer.
Comfort for Everyday Use
Comfort is a critical part of any shower chair, as it directly impacts the user’s quality of life. The Freeway T60 is fitted with a seat, armrests and backrest made from tough, flame-retardant material that is designed to withstand regular use. This material is easy to wipe clean, ensuring hygiene is always maintained, but it is also supportive and comfortable for the user. Whether the chair is being used for showering or toileting, it provides a safe and dignified seating environment.
Because no two users are alike, the Freeway T60 offers a range of seat choices. Different widths, aperture sizes, seat types and coverings can all be selected to suit individual requirements. This level of customisation means that users are not forced to compromise; instead, the chair can be set up to provide the exact level of comfort and functionality needed. Seats can also be replaced or adjusted later if the user’s needs change, making the T60 a flexible long-term option.
Hygienic and Safe
Maintaining hygiene in care equipment is essential, both for the user’s safety and for compliance with health standards in professional care environments. The Freeway T60 is coated with a long-lasting antimicrobial and antibacterial finish. This protective layer guards against some of the most harmful bacteria, including MRSA, E. coli, salmonella and listeria. By choosing a chair with this built-in protection, carers and families can reduce the risk of infection and create a safer bathroom environment.
The seat and backrest materials are also flame-retardant, adding another important safety measure. Easy to clean surfaces make it quick and simple to wipe down the chair after use, helping to maintain a hygienic care routine with minimal effort. These features ensure that the Freeway T60 is well suited to both personal and professional use, where safety and cleanliness must never be compromised.
Built to Last
Durability is one of the defining features of the Freeway range, and the T60 is no exception. From its strong frame construction to its corrosion-resistant castors and puncture-proof wheels, every component is designed for longevity. This makes the chair a reliable piece of equipment even in demanding environments such as hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities. For families caring for loved ones at home, the durability of the T60 means fewer replacements, reduced costs and peace of mind that the chair will perform day after day.
The robust build quality is matched by an emphasis on user safety. Features such as anti-tip bars, stable wheel positioning and braking mechanisms all contribute to a product that inspires confidence and reduces risks during daily routines.
Flexible and Modular
Like other models in the Freeway shower chair range, the T60 benefits from a modular design. This makes it possible to configure the chair to meet individual needs. Seat choices allow for different widths and apertures, while additional accessories such as backrests, armrests and footrests can be added or changed as required. This level of flexibility is important because care needs often evolve over time. A chair that can be modified instead of replaced saves money, reduces waste and ensures continuous suitability for the user.
The modular system also makes it easier for care providers to standardise their equipment. By keeping a stock of compatible components, facilities can adapt chairs for different users quickly and cost-effectively, without needing to purchase completely new products for each case.
Made in the UK
The Freeway T60 is designed, assembled and tested in the UK. This local production ensures high standards of quality control and provides reassurance that the chair is built to last. It also means that support, servicing and spare parts are readily available. For many care providers and families, this is a valuable feature, as it ensures continuity and reduces downtime if maintenance or repairs are required.
Practical in Any Setting
The Freeway T60 is equally suited to domestic and professional environments. In the home, it enables families to support loved ones in daily bathing and toileting with greater safety and dignity. In care facilities, it provides a reliable and adaptable solution that can meet the needs of multiple users. Its strong frame, antibacterial protection and modular flexibility make it a dependable option for hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation centres.
The T60’s ability to facilitate side transfers makes it especially useful in both settings. Users who have partial mobility or who need to move between chairs, beds or commodes will find this feature invaluable. By reducing physical strain, it enhances both safety and independence, which are key goals in modern care provision.
