The Bariatric Transport Chair by Drive Medical redefines heavy-duty mobility with unmatched stability and comfort for users up to 500 lbs. Designed for caregivers and bariatric patients, this aluminum-frame wheelchair combines medical-grade durability with home-use convenience, offering features generic transport chairs simply can’t match.
Why Choose This Bariatric Transport Chair?
- Patented Safety: Dual steel cross braces and nylon-reinforced upholstery prevent sagging or instability, even with daily use.
- Caregiver-Friendly: 12″ flat-free rear wheels and lever-activated wheel locks make transitions smoother than competing models with basic plastic wheels.
- All-Day Comfort: Padded, desk-length arms and adjustable leg rests reduce pressure points during extended sitting—critical for post-surgery recovery or chronic mobility needs.
- Travel-Ready: At just 33 lbs, it’s lighter than most bariatric chairs (typically 40+ lbs) and folds compactly for car trunks or storage.
Clinical Advantages Over Generic Chairs:
While budget options compromise on weight capacity or frame strength, Drive Medical’s chair is Medicare-eligible and insurance-friendly, with a limited lifetime warranty. The removable, swing-away footrests allow safer side transfers, and the dual carry handles simplify lifting.
Ideal For:
- Home caregivers needing a reliable, easy-to-maneuver transport solution
- Bariatric patients requiring extra-wide seating (22”+) and high-weight support
- Hospitals/rehab centers seeking cost-effective, long-lasting transport chairs
