The lateral movement wheelchair is a device adapted for use with wheelchairs. The lateral movement wheelchair is a spring loaded device that is attached to the tipping levers of a wheelchair. When the lateral movement wheelchair is lowered to the ground, the wheelchair can be tipped back allowing a first wheel and a second wheel to move the wheelchair laterally for the purpose of positioning the wheelchair precisely for loading and unloading (for example a passenger vehicle). The lateral movement wheelchair comprises a frame, a first wheel, and a second wheel.
