Transport wheelchairs are created to be lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for travel. These wheelchairs are built so that the chair can only be pushed from behind by an assistant; the chair user cannot propel the chair themselves. Because of this design, transport wheelchairs lack the classic appearance of a traditional wheelchair. Instead of featuring two large back wheels, transport wheelchairs are built with four smaller wheels.
Transport wheelchairs tend to weigh less than your standard wheelchair, because they use smaller wheels and are often built from lighter materials. Many of these wheelchairs are designed so that they fold up into a compact unit, making it easy to place them into the trunk of a vehicle or to store them away when not in use.
Since transport wheelchairs are propelled by an assistant, they need to be used in the presence of a caregiver who can power the chair. Transport wheelchairs are equipped with brakes controlled from behind the chair for added safety. Many feature safety belts to keep the patient securely in place.
Within the transport wheelchair category you will find a variety of wheelchairs. Some are ultra lightweight and feature a minimalistic construction, while others very closely resemble a traditional wheelchair. Some chairs offer convenient hand brakes attached to the push handles, while others have brakes located down by the wheels. You'll also notice differences in seat styles and the amount of support offered by the seat.
Transport wheelchairs are available in a wide range of styles offering many different features. If you're looking for a chair which is easy to transport, especially if you travel often or go out to run errands, a transport wheelchair may be the perfect solution.
