Transport Wheelchairs with Free Shipping and Standard 3-5 Day Delivery

Transport wheelchairs come with the added convenience of free shipping and a standard 3-5 day delivery, ensuring you receive your mobility aid quickly and at no extra cost. This efficient service makes purchasing an upright rollator walker a seamless experience, providing fast access to a device that enhances mobility and independence. Galenus Medical offers this hassle-free shipping, making us a top choice for reliable, customer-focused service.

What Is the Weight Capacity of Transport Wheelchairs?

Consumers often ask about the weight capacity of transport wheelchairs to ensure safe support. Typically, these wheelchairs can accommodate between 250 and 300 pounds, though some heavy-duty models may support up to 400 pounds or more. This range suits a variety of users, providing reliable stability for daily mobility needs, whether for short trips or extended use.

How Much Do Transport Wheelchairs Weigh?

Portability is a key concern, and transport wheelchairs are designed to be lightweight, generally weighing between 15 and 26 pounds. This makes them easy to lift into cars, store in tight spaces, or carry during travel, offering convenience for caregivers and users who need a manageable mobility solution.

Are Transport Wheelchairs Foldable?

Yes, transport wheelchairs are typically foldable, featuring simple mechanisms for compact storage. This design allows them to fit easily in car trunks, closets, or other small spaces, making them ideal for travel or home use. Consumers value this portability for on-the-go convenience.

What Is the Seat Size and Height?

Comfort is crucial, and transport wheelchairs often have seat widths ranging from 16 to 20 inches to accommodate various body sizes. Seat heights are generally set between 17 and 19 inches, ensuring users can sit and stand with ease. These dimensions provide a comfortable fit for rest during use.

Are the Armrests and Footrests Adjustable?

Consumers frequently inquire about adjustability for comfort. Many transport wheelchairs feature padded armrests, some of which are fixed, while others may flip up or back for easier transfers. Footrests are often swing-away or removable, allowing customization to suit user height and positioning needs for optimal support.

What Type of Wheels Do Transport Wheelchairs Have?

Wheel type matters for mobility, with transport wheelchairs typically featuring smaller rear wheels (6 to 8 inches) compared to standard wheelchairs, as they’re designed for caregiver propulsion. Solid rubber or polyurethane wheels are common, offering smooth movement indoors and on flat outdoor surfaces like sidewalks.

Do Transport Wheelchairs Come with Brakes, and How Do They Work?

Safety is a top concern, and transport wheelchairs often include hand brakes for caregivers to control speed and stop the chair. These are typically push-down or pull-up lever styles, with some models featuring locking brakes for stability during transfers or rest, giving users and caregivers confidence.

What Accessories Are Included?

Consumers ask about accessories for added utility. Transport wheelchairs may come with features like seat belts for safety, small under-seat pouches, or side pockets for personal items. These are often weight-limited and may be removable, providing practical solutions for carrying essentials during outings.

How Durable and Stable Are Transport Wheelchairs?

Durability is key, and transport wheelchairs are built with sturdy frames, often made of aluminum or steel, to ensure longevity and stability. These materials help prevent tipping on flat surfaces, offering reliable support for users in various settings, from home to community spaces.

How Easy Are Transport Wheelchairs to Assemble and Maintain?

Ease of use is important, and transport wheelchairs typically require minimal assembly, often arriving nearly ready to use. Maintenance is simple, involving basic frame cleaning with mild soap and water and checking wheels for wear, ensuring a hassle-free experience for users and caregivers.

Are There Weight or Height Restrictions for Users?

Beyond weight capacity (250 to 300 pounds for most models), consumers ask about height suitability. Transport wheelchairs are designed to fit a range of users, with seat and armrest configurations accommodating petite to taller individuals for comfortable, ergonomic use.

Purchasing a transport wheelchair from Galenus Medical offers distinct advantages. They provide a wide selection of high-quality, durable, and user-friendly models tailored to diverse mobility needs.

4 reviews for Drive Medical Lightweight Folding Transport Wheelchair with Swing-Away Footrests, Red

  1. Always Shopping


    This wheelchair was purchased for a family member with limited mobility who can get around with a walker but not long distances. It was fairly easy to put together once removing plastic ties that protect the product during shipping. It is also easy to fold up. At 19 lbs, it is lightweight for a sturdy wheelchair. Keep in mind that this chair is not for the patient to wheel him or herself, but to allow for transport by a caregiver. It has not yet been used outside of assembly but believe it will be useful for outside ventures in the future. It comes with locking brakes and a seatbelt, as well as leg/foot support. It can fit through narrow doorways as well, which is a plus. I was impressed by the value for the money.

    Insurance got my partner another wheelchair but it was so bulking and difficult to unfold, we got this wheelchair. It’s much lighter in weight and super easy to unfold. We have hatchback type cars that this wheelchair fits easily into. I’m sure it would fit in a standard trunk. It’s comfortable for the person in the chair and so easy to use for people with mobility issues. It’s made to be pushed so the rider cannot propel it him/ herself.

    The width of the chair is perfect to get comfortably through our small bathroom door! The chair is very smooth and easily navigated so I can be pushed to various parts our house. Well built, light weight, also folds up and stores easily.. A+

    I bought this to replace the exact same wheelchair that a front wheel bearing failure, plus the armrests were shredded and the paint had worn off the arms. Not sure how long the old wheelchair was used before its current condition. Our friend, who is 104, appreciated the gift of a new wheelchair. However, I ordered new front fork stem bearings from Galenus Medical, new armrests from a wheelchair supplier, and spray painted the arms and it looks like new again, so now we have two working, good-looking wheelchairs. Our friend uses it all the time to move around her apartment using her feet with the footrests removed.
