Bariatric Wheelchair and Transport Chairs

Bariatric manual or standard wheelchairs are are designed to accommodate person weight over 300 lbs. These specialized chairs have all of the features that come with standard chairs but are reinforced in all the right places to ensure the safety of a heavier individual.

Bariatric wheelchairs can weigh up to 80 lbs, there are light weight wheelchairs that can weigh as little as 45 lbs. They can be difficult to maneuver and don’t store easily in a car unless it is disable friendly. Because of the aforementioned reasons BMS does not usually recommend standard wheelchairs for elderly clients.
