Transport wheelchairs are the perfect choice for transporting someone to and from the places you would love to travel with. A
transport wheelchair is generally narrower and lighter than a
standard wheelchair, making it a good choice for tight obstacles and narrow entryways. There are differences between our high end
Crash Tested S-ERGO series transport wheelchairs and also economy grade products. Some great choices include our
ERGO LITE and
S-115TP. We also have a wheelchair made for traveling,
TV-10B.
Most standard weight wheelchairs starts at 34 pounds, a
standard weight wheelchair is a great option when you need a wheelchair that will be not be frequently used; generally 3 hours or less per day and with infrequent transfers. Our full selection is available from the most basic models with fixed legrests and armrests to wheelchairs that have optional elevating legrests and removable armrests. There are also models with
optional accessories to enhance your wheelchair.
Foam cushions and/or Gel Cushions provide for additional comfort.
With weights ranging from 25-34 pounds, our
lightweight wheelchair is a great choice when you need a wheelchair that is more frequently used, when you need special options, or when you have your heart set on a specific frame and/or upholstery color combination. This category covers it all, with lightweight wheelchairs at competitive prices. These wheelchairs offer more options and we typically recommend that a comparison be done with the next step up category which is our
ultralight weight wheelchairs where the ultimate mobility equipment and features are at its very best.
This is the category of wheelchairs where the best of the best resides. With wheelchair weights as low as 14.5 pounds and available in both
S-ERGO and simply
super lightweight models, an ultralight weight wheelchair is for the full-time user who demands performance and for those who want the lightest wheelchair possible for ease of self propel and transport. In this category, you will have a number of features never found on any competitors like standardize crash tests on
S-ERGO models and tons of
options and accessories not offered on other base categories in wheelchair options.

A reclining back or otherwise known as a "high back" wheelchair is a great option for those who spend the majority of their time in a wheelchair as it offers more positions to recline. And a
