Deming Designs De-Bug Stainless-Steel Beach Wheelchair

The De-Bug is a manual beach wheelchair built for sand and other soft or uneven outdoor surfaces. Its low-pressure, three-ply polyurethane tires, articulating rear suspension and rear casters are designed to keep the wheels in contact with changing ground and help the chair maneuver across beaches, grass, gravel and similar terrain. A 316L stainless-steel frame and poly-nylon seating are specified for outdoor use, but this chair is not a flotation device and is not a substitute for water safety equipment.

Terrain and Water Limits

Use the De-Bug on firm enough ground for the attendant to control its direction and stopping. Soft sand, slopes and uneven surfaces affect effort and handling; plan the route and assistance accordingly. Do not use the chair in water deeper than 10 inches or in heavy surf. It is not buoyant and must not be treated as a watercraft or flotation chair. Follow Deming Designs' operating guidance near the waterline.

Seating, Transfers and Support

The listing describes a lap belt, standard wheelchair brakes, anti-tip wheels and removable swing-away armrests. Swinging the armrests away can create transfer access, while the belt and brakes support positioning and parking when used as instructed. Optional reclining or positioning configurations may be selected separately. Confirm the chosen setup and transfer method with the user's needs and the caregiver responsible for the chair.

Dimensions and Capacity

Top Mobility lists a 350 lb capacity, a 40 lb chair weight, a 33.5-inch overall width, a 22-inch seat-to-floor height and 13 x 6-inch wheels. Check the complete configuration against the user's fit, accessible route and vehicle storage space. The listed chair weight and capacity are separate limits; neither establishes that a particular beach route or water condition is safe.

Seat Care and Ordering

The removable Phifertex nylon seat is listed as UV-resistant and machine-washable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, drying, inspection and brake use, especially after exposure to sand or saltwater. The standard model is listed as ship-ready; custom options may require 4 to 8 weeks of production. Confirm the selected recline or positioning features and lead time before ordering.
