LIGHTWEIGHT TRANSPORT CHAIR
The product names says it all! These great chairs (and not the “Wheelchair” kind) are 1) Lightweight – so easy to lift and 2) Transport – they can take you just about anywhere. So, just because your legs can’t get you there doesn’t mean you can’t be there and be together. Living life to the fullest means being with the people you love and going where you want to go. We love transport chairs because they do just that. They are much lighter and more compact than traditional wheelchairs and that is a game-changer because you can take them just about anywhere.

What’s the main difference between a Wheelchair and a Transport Chair?
Wheelchairs can be self-propelled by the user and also pushed by the companion. The large 24” rear wheels with rims allow the user to self-propel. This feature does add more weight and bulk to the wheelchair. Transport chairs have smaller rear wheels (8” & 12”) so the user cannot self-propel and can only be pushed by the companion. Thus, the transport chair is both lighter and more compact than a wheelchair.
