Drive Medical Deluxe Fly-Weight Aluminum Transport Chair with Removable Casters

Transport chairs are similar to wheelchairs, but they are not equipped with the large rear wheels that allow patients to propel themselves. Instead, transport chairs have four smaller wheels that allows for more maneuverability. For patients who have disabilities, limitations, or injuries of the hands or arms that would prevent them from propelling themselves anyway, transport chairs are a lightweight, more economical option than cumbersome wheelchairs. For hospitals and other medical centers, transport chairs allow nurses to transfer patients around the facility quickly and easily. The lightweight design is easier on caregivers and grants more motility to get around tight corners or hallways.

The Deluxe Fly-Weight Aluminum Transport Chair is a state-of-the-art transport chair, weighing in at only 19 lbs, weighs approximately 30% less than traditional ones. The composite wheels require little to no maintenance and are equipped with rear wheel locks and a quick release axle for reliability. A waistline seatbelt provides added security for the patient and the caregiver.

The back and seat are made of plush nylon upholstery, making the ride comfortable for the patient without adding significantly to the weight of the chair. The back is outfitted with a pocket to store personal items.

With its removable wheels and lightweight, aluminum design, and the folding back and flared arms, the entire transport chair can be disassembled to easily fit in the trunk of a car and to conserve storage space when not in use.
