Lightweight Transport Wheelchairs
Lightweight transport wheelchairs are made with lighter weight aluminum frames, making them easier to pick up and transport.
The lightweight aluminum frames make these the most popular line of transport wheelchairs! Aluminum frame transport wheelchairs can weigh as little as 16 pounds. At that weight, they are easier for picking up, folding and transportation. They also include removable, swing-away footrests.
As with all transport wheelchairs, these lightweight models also require an attendant for pushing. Some transport chairs may also have attendant operated hand brakes on the push handles so the attendant has more control of the speed of the chair, especially when traveling down hill. The larger 12" rear wheels on some models allow for a more stable ride over rougher surfaces.
They come with more arm styles, wheel sizes and frame colors than steel transport chairs. If you're not in need of a transport wheelchair like these are, and prefer a self-propelled wheelchair, then see our lightweight manual wheelchair category.
